founding two: While working in the ateliers
of Frédérique Constant, master
watchmaker Pim Koeslag realized he had a
common dream with the CEO of the brand, Peter
Stas. Both watch aficionados wished to create
their own minute repeater movement. After
four long years of hard work Pim and Peter
successfully presented their first Grande
Complication the Tourbillon
Répétition Minute. As this was
such a special timepiece, Stas suggested the
creation of a new exclusive brand dedicated
entirely to exceptional high-end timepieces.
  Ateliers deMonaco was founded in
2008, a brand synonymous with luxury and

Who better to launch a personal style
campaign than one of social media’s
most renowned It girls? Teaming up with
Kendall Jenner for their fall 2017 campaign,
the luxury jewellery brand Ippolita zooms in
on youthful-chic, style. The New York based
designer Ippolita Rostagno’s craft is
unique, because she treats design like an art
form and uses her body as a canvas. In the
beginning of her career, she gently molded
wax onto her skin in order to make casts,
which paved the way for the creation of
specialized, delicate, and feminine pieces.
Her creations are graceful and intricate,
ranging from dazzling candy-coloured
bracelets to diamond-encrusted stud
earrings. From a sculptor’s viewpoint,
Rostagno has been fascinated by the concept
of social media and artistic photography.
Selecting one of social media’s most
infamous muses, Kendall Jenner contributed to
the vision, styling, and jewellery selection
of a campaign titled “It’s in

The new Grands Ballets Canadiens season
already looks promising, with its new
location in the Wilder Espace Danse building,
and with the arrival of a new artistic
director: Ivan Cavallari. Originally from
Italy, this former star Stuttgart ballet
dancer, trained at the Scala de Milan and
Moscow Bolchoï Ballet schools, lands in
Montreal in the hopes of sharing his passion
for ballet. Looking at your journey,
you’ve studied in Moscow, worked in
Stuttgart, as well as in Perth for the West
Australian, and recently, in Mulhouse for the
Rhin National Ballet. You seem to have never
been scared of trying out new things or
working in new places? I’ve always
been very brave! I’ve never stepped
down due to fear, that’s a blessing I
have. For me, it was important to understand
situations in order to better deal with them
later. What worries me is deviating towards
the unknown. I have ne

As simple as that, the luxury watch brand
Tudor entices you to push the envelope.
Embracing infamous game-changing ambassadors
like Lady Gaga, David Beckham, and rugby
moguls the All Blacks, Tudor breaks the mold
to score emotional touch-points on dreams,
greatness, and personal achievement. What do
pop icon Lady Gaga, famed footballer David
Beckham, and rugby legends the All Blacks
have in common? The answer to that question
is straightforward enough: they are all
unconventional. The selected Tudor
Ambassadors are champions of their own
realms, having successfully evolved and
embraced diverse sectors to ultimately
redefine their areas of expertise. Synonymous
with the brand’s core values both
philosophically and tangibly, Tudor
communicates the following in everything they
do: “We’re devoted to the
classic but reject the status
quo.” The luxury brand’s vision

Rolex has designed the Oyster Perpetual
Sky-Dweller to be both easy on the eyes and
easy to use, all while ensuring that the
watch’s mechanics live up to the
reliability that Rolex is known for. The
Sky-Dweller is tailor-made to suit the needs
of a travelling man. The wearer can easily
tell time in two different time zones thanks
to the dial’s innovative rotating off
center disc, which indicates the hour of the
second time zone. Saros, the time period used
to predict eclipses of the sun and moon, is
the name Rolex has given the
Sky-Dweller’s Annual Calendar, which
needs solely one adjustment per year in
February. The watch also keeps track of
months by means of 12 apertures around the
circumference of the dial, which lets through
a red, white, or black indication. The dial
now features rectangular index hour markers
and longer hands that both offer Blue

environments. The Ring-Command fluted bezel
