Columbia HillenOpening our balcony doors at Lisbon’s Bairro Alto Hotel during the day, my companion and I enjoyed the excited hustle and bustle below on the iconic, tree-lined Praça de Camões square.  Closing them at night, we enjoyed undisturbed silence, the perfect recipe for sound sleep. Columbia HillenOccupying an entire block of four buildings that was partly derelict, this 87-room, 5-star hotel stands at the border between two historic neighborhoods - the elegant shopping district of Chiado and the bohemian bars-and-cafes Bairro Alto.    Though refurbished at a cost of over 32 million euro with all the mod-cons and reopened…

Louis Moinet BLACK MOON

Louis MoinetWhen it comes to watch design there are many different approaches and genres. Generally speaking, most people prefer a more conservative aesthetic. Ultimately that means the classic uncluttered 3 hand design. In terms of horology, this translates into a traditional dress watch that would mostly be worn on formal occasions. However, I personally feel that there is scope to experiment with bolder compositions and contemporary materials without losing the overall essence. I became so fascinated by this subject that I wrote a book entitled ‘Timeless Classics', published this year (2024) by Schiffer Books. One of the brands that inspired…

A North Carolina Road Trip with the 2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV in its Most Luxurious Form

A North Carolina Road Trip with the 2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV in its Most Luxurious Form

Oct. 28th, 2024 Mazda just broadened the audience of its flagship SUV with a brand new model name. I took the all-new 2025 Mazda CX-70 on a road trip from Charleston to Asheville, North Carolina. Unsurprisingly, it punches above its weight in luxury and performance. But somewhat surprisingly, the differences between it and its three-row counterpart, the CX-90, cause one to question the need for an entirely new name.  The good news is that once you accept the subtlety of the distinction between the CX-70 and its forebear, it is a fantastic two-row SUV with an interior that holds its…
