When planning a beach vacation, sometimes it’s helpful to remain hyperfocused on geography. After you’ve exhausted your exhaustive searches based on sand color—pink, black, white—and obscurity, it’s time to commit to a country—let’s call it Greece. The ancient country, where Western Civilization got some of its greatest ideas (see: Democracy), sits between the Mediterranean, Aegean, and Ionian seas and while beaches elsewhere might offer the standard-issue sun and sand, the Greek ones are steepe…

Last week, during the final days of a lamentably unexceptional ski season, the world of high horology “downloaded” in the proverbial gondola to Geneva for the annual Watches and Wonders fair. It is the largest and most influential trade show of its kind on earth where all the year’s hottest watches are unveiled, to wit: If your watch is less than three years old (W&W was inaugurated in 2022, during the Covid-19 pandemic) and says “Swiss Made” on the dial, there’s a very good chance it was presen…

If armies of belligerent nations still fought with swords and mangonels, Spain would be the last country they’d want to invade. That’s on account of its many ancient and medieval walled cities, some of which are almost completely intact. When visiting these fortifications, you’re transported to a time when castles dotted the landscape and no one was asking if chivalry was dead. For example, in Toledo, the capital of Spain when it was the Visigoth kingdom, from the winding alleys of the old town…

Selling one’s home can be a painful ordeal, but after surviving five tumultuous, batshit-crazy years as a cast member of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Whitney Rose can certainly handle it. On the heels of a harrowing fifth season replete with treachery, sound baths, and a comically large number of designer sunglasses, the 37-year-old skin-care entrepreneur and her husband, Justin, have just listed their 6,100-square-foot house, located in the Utah capital’s South Jordan neighbor…

An escape, as Danny the “Tunnel King” proved 17 times, can require a lot of patience and careful planning. Beyond booking accommodations, flights, ground transport, and reservations, there can also be nail-biting visa approvals and expedited passport renewals (typically through a shady third-party organization recommended by a friend of a friend). But not every trip out of New York City has to be so byzantine. Living here comes with its “drive-in” geographic benefits as well as its close proximi…

La parola icona viene usata spesso, soprattutto nel mondo dell’architettura. Più viene usata, meno significato conserva. Cosa fa sì che un edificio rientri in questa categoria di popolarissime? “Deve essere immediatamente riconoscibile da un gran numero di persone, che lo abbiano visto di persona o meno”, dice il professor Barry Bergdoll, ex curatore capo di architettura e design al Museum of Modern Art di New York. “Dovrebbe, da solo, definire un paesaggio o un luogo”.Ci sono molti esempi di qu…

The word iconic gets thrown around a lot, especially in the world of architecture. The more it’s deployed, the less meaning it retains. So what makes a building fit the definition? “It has to be one that’s immediately recognizable to a vast number of people whether they’ve seen it in person or not,” says professor Barry Bergdoll, the former chief curator of architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. “It should, on its own, define a landscape or place.” There are many…

Planning a ski vacation can be more stressful than simply choosing the best mountain resort hotel to book—though, that is by no means easy. There are so many factors involved and anything could go wrong. Flying into Aspen on a cloudy day? Expect to be rerouted to Grand Junction and forced to drive two hours in a rented pickup truck. No powder in the Alps this year? Enjoy the black-and-blue bruises up your back from falling all day on icy snow-cannoned slopes. Nothing hurts winter sports enthusia…

Elvis Presley lived a textured life, one that was stranger than fiction. His hip gyrations broke the internet before there was one; President Nixon made him an honorary federal agent, presumably the first to be appointed while wearing a black velvet suit and oversize silver belt buckle; and decades after he died of a heart attack at the young age of 42, he’s still one of the top three best-selling recording artists of all time. But in Priscilla, a new film about Priscilla Presley, née Beaulieu (…

Non esiste un’estetica polacca unica e definita. Come potrebbe? La Polonia è un Paese enorme, i cui confini sono stati ridisegnati più volte solo nell’ultimo secolo e le cui città e paesi sono stati occupati da invasori ostili, compresi i nazisti e i sovietici. A Poznań, un’ex città medievale prussiana sul fiume Warta a tre ore di auto da Berlino, gli interior designer polacchi Zuza e Piotr Paradowski - la coppia di coniugi dietro lo studio Paradowski e il marchio di arredamento Dom - hanno prog…

Aaron Rodgers understandably has a thing for the color green. That, or he’s just so used to it by now. The four-time MVP and future NFL Hall of Famer has spent his career quarterbacking for the Green Bay Packers until his recent trade to the New York Jets, and between the two teams, he’s been living in some dramatic shade of the blue-yellow hue for the past 18 years. So when word quietly spread in late summer that Rodgers proposed a watch design project to Zenith, the Swiss horology brand, the o…

There is no singular Polish aesthetic. How could there be? Poland is a massive country whose borders have been redrawn several times in the past century alone and whose cities and towns have been occupied by hostile invaders, including the Nazis and Soviets. In Poznan, a former Prussian medieval city on the Warta River three hours east of Berlin by car, Polish interior designers Zuza and Piotr Paradowski—the married couple behind Paradowski Studio and home decor brand Dom—have designed a light-f…

Picture the scene. The sun has set at a hauntingly early hour and despite the heater being on, you’re lying in bed wrapped in a quilt, your feet sweating through the industrial-strength socks. The reruns of Shark Tank on Hulu aren’t beguiling you of your discomfort. This is how evenings play out for many of Americans in winter, but thankfully, a sun-soaked, tropical Shangri-la called South Florida exists, where down jackets are a novelty and icicles never form on car fenders. Whether your taste…

The weather report predicts rain in New York City this Saturday. And yet, there is little doubt that a soaking hoard of manic watch collectors, first-time watch buyers, and, of course, the dreaded flippers, will be queuing up overnight outside Swatch boutiques around Manhattan. But why, you ask? On September 9, the first-ever Blancpain x Swatch watch collaboration—one with a modest $400 price tag—comes to market. Blancpain, an iconic Swiss purveyor of luxury timepieces dating back to its foundin…
