Santos De Cartier Watch

In partnership with Kennedy

In 1924, famous Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos Dumont told designer Louis Cartier of his wish to tell the time whilst flying. From this request, one of the first-ever wristwatches was born. Here we are nearly 100 years later and Cartier remains one of the finest luxury brands in the world. Their eye-grabbing Santos De Cartier pays tribute to the fruits of a friendship between two pioneers and it looks nothing short of spectacular.

Available through luxury watch retailer Kennedy in two different iterations, this elegant but nevertheless sturdy timepiece is a mechanical masterpiece. Its graceful angles and exposed screws harken back to the historic predecessor whilst simultaneously exhibiting a modern sensibility. The 7-sided crown set with a faceted synthetic spinel is a work of art unto itself, as is the classical dial face, automatic movement, and case and bracelet of premium steel.

If this is one of those Father’s Days where you really want to put a smile on his face, then hit up Kennedy and score him this immaculate timepiece. More than stunning wristwear, it’s a multi-generational memory in the making. After all, there may come a day when he passes this very same watch on down to you, so that you may partake in its many superb qualities. It’s what family is all about.

Penfolds 2018 Grange

In partnership with Penfolds

No Aussie red enjoys such a rich and radical history quite like the iconic Penfolds Grange. Considered too experimental for most palates when first introduced back in 1951, the bold wine was nothing if not ahead of its time. It survived various obstacles and even went underground before re-emerging in the public consciousness and taking a new generation of experts and enthusiasts by pleasant surprise. Following an unbroken line of vintages, we now arrive at the newly realised 2018 Grange from The Penfolds Collection 2022.

A multi-vineyard and multi-district blending philosophy remain at the very heart of every Grange, including this one. Using fully-ripe shiraz grapes of intense flavour, it cultivates one of the most powerful and distinct profiles you’ll ever taste. If most high-end wines are classical symphonies, this one is a full-blown rock opera, mashing sweet notes of chocolate, fruit, and custard with earthy mushroom, sarsaparilla, and black liquorice…and that’s just at the opening. A similarly complex mid-palate carries through to a long finish, leaving your brain in a state of bewilderment as it tries to unravel each layer of the experience. It has also received 100-point scores from global wine critics, Yes, this stuff is that powerful.

Few brands deliver on their legacy quite like Tom Ford, an absolute master of multiple product categories. Modern fragrance is no exception and their Oud Wood is here to prove it.

Its invigorating profile is synonymous with the spirit of renewal, making it the perfect gift as we head into spring. Choose between 30ml, 50ml, or 100ml bottles.
