Objects that took a long time to make and reward a long time looking at.
We all dream of owning one, but private aviation rests on two honest questions: can you genuinely afford it, and do you clock more than 350 flying hours each year? The answers may surprise you.
An Arab supercar makes sense in so many ways: not merely a rival to Italy or Germany, but something so far over the top the mainstream players would never dare attempt it themselves.
Our writer's assignment to Redman Whitley Dixon begins with an unplanned tour of the deepest New Forest, courtesy of a disorientated taxi driver, errant ponies and a capricious GPS, before the real craftsmanship begins.
Lebanon's Elie Saab and the UAE's DAS Collection have conquered international fashion, but only one shoe designer claims this region as home. We meet Camilla Skovgaard, a footwear talent breaking the mould.

During a visit to Tod's Brancadoro factory in the Italian village of Casette d'Ete, we discover how the shoemaker persuaded the world that leather shoes with gommino soles were chic, in a building more gallery than factory.
When space, range and parts availability top your wish list, only one ultra-long-range private jet will do. We weigh the Airbus Corporate Jet against the swifter Gulfstream G650, and the numbers surprise.

The flat farmland around Bremen in Northern Germany seems an unlikely magnet for the world's wealthiest, yet Russian oligarchs, software billionaires and Gulf royals are quietly drawn to this corner of the North Sea coast.
Kiton's Manhattan flagship is a marble fortress, its altars awash with pastel confections of luxury. Ties lie scattered on richly tinted tables and mannequins flank the staircase; it is a clothing store, yet feels like so much more.
