Wes Anderson designs a Montblanc pen
When Montblanc approached Wes Anderson to direct a commemorative film about the iconic Meisterstück pen, Anderson took one step further by designing a version of the writing tool himself. First seen in the film, 100 Years of Meisterstück (2024), the Schreiberling or the ‘scribbler’ was inspired by the legendary “baby” pens of the 1910s and 1920s from the Montblanc archive, which were considered to be some of the smallest writing instruments at the time. Now available for purchase, the Schreiberling is compact at just under four inches, featuring a click-on cap mechanism and an 18k white gold nib with one of Anderson’s personal scribbles. Limited to 1,969 pens, each goes at S$3,760, entitling you to a matching green notepad, green ink cartridge refills, and an architectural ruler.
TAG Heuer returns to the Goodwood Festival of Speed
TAG Heuer is back as the Official Timekeeper at one of the most celebrated motorsport events. With a legacy deeply rooted in motorsport history, from the first dashboard chronograph in 1911 to its partnerships with the Indy 500 and the like, the Swiss watchmaker will realise its shared passion for the sport with a special watch. Based on the renowned TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph, the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Festival of Speed features a dial in British racing green, complimented by red accents and a brown leather rally strap inspired by the golden era of motor racing in the ’70s. All 100 pieces will be offered to the members of the Goodwood Road Racing Club before going on general sale at £6,450.
Bvlgari redefines luxury
As a fashion brand known for its trailblazing creativity and pioneering spirit, Bvlgari is once again pushing the boundaries of luxury with Connected Jewels, the world’s first mobile application of its kind. Presented at VivaTech 2025, this groundbreaking innovation recognises jewellery pieces by reading engraved serial numbers as small as 0.7mm, empowering each creation with a “digital soul” and offering its clients a gateway of knowledge and traceability.
Cool like Hästens
Those who run hot at night may need more than just enthusiastic air-conditioning. Hästens, an iconic Swedish brand with over 170 years of bed-making, keeps one cool at night with the finest natural materials. Engineered with naturally breathable materials like horsetail hair, which comes with its own built-in ventilation system, Hästens beds effectively transport any excess heat and moisture from the body, allowing for deep, uninterrupted sleep every night.
