It serves as a reminder of the strong cosmic forces that shaped the cosmos. Ten more unusual fragments have been thoughtfully placed, each on a separate foundation that is covertly fastened to the brushed, dark-grey dial. All of the cosmic diamonds are witnesses to the formation of our solar system. They each have a billion-year-old history to narrate, which includes the remarkable journey they took to reach COSMOPOLIS. These fragments of time, these glimmers of eternity, these slices of the universe, this constellation of meteorites combine space-time and the watchmaking industry to produce the most precious work of art. The flying tourbillon and haute horlogerie The COSMOPOLIS has an off-center tourbillon in the subdial at 6 o'clock to defy gravity in a particularly striking fashion.

  • J Craft Boats at the Cannes Yachting Festival

    After the Cannes Yachting Festival, J Craft Boats AB will present at the Monaco Yacht Show next week. Guests will have the opportunity to experience first-hand the company's latest Torpedo, Babebi. BOUTIQUE SWEDISH BOAT BUILDER J CRAFT'S SUMMER PROGRAMME The company's latest Torpedo, Babebi. J Craft Boats AB, Europe’s premier luxury yacht builder reports new business developments and growth alongside a packed Summer programme. 2023 marks a year of growth and a year of firsts for J Craft, with the delivery of three Torpedoes, the launch of the company’s US operations and a commitment to sustainability, across materials, production, energy and the facility in Gotland, Sweden. J Craft materials are sourced with a very strict criteria, with a deliberate emphasis on environmental impact and biodegradability, as well as ensuring that over 95% of production is sourced and produced in Sweden. Furthermore, J Craft’s entire energy needs will soon be fully covered by renewable sources. J Craft, creators of the Torpedo 42, exquisite, bespoke hand-crafted day cruisers, recently delivered Hull #20, “Family T” to St Tropez in late May, where she set sail on her maiden voyage and proceeded to her new home port of Porto Cervo, Sardinia, in a little over 8 hours. Hull #21, “Babebi” was delivered to her home port of Beaulieu in late June and is J Craft’s first ever Torpedo featuring a metallic-coloured hull. Babebi is a Torpedo "RS" which comes with two Volvo Penta IPS 650s that will take it to a top speed of 47 knots. The interior is two-tone with yellow brass and off-white as well as the beautiful diamond stitching. The new Torpedo comes with extra lithium batteries allowing for a full day on the water, engines off, with music, charging, fridges, air conditioning and seakeeper on without the need to use the generator making it extra quiet and comfortable without the loss of any amenities. Taking over 9,000 man-hours to build, the Torpedo can reach speeds in excess of 50 mph and offers exceptional maneuverability. Her hull shape, refined over two dozen builds, delivers excellent stability and performance in any sea state, as well as an impressive 280-nm range. The convertible open cockpit features two sundecks, comfortably accommodating up to 10 adults for day cruises. The spacious cabin sleeps up to 4 guests in luxurious style. This summer will see an ambitious programme of activities on both sides of the Atlantic from Nantucket to Martha’s Vineyard and the Hamptons through to FLIBS via Newport, Annapolis and Florida. In Europe, J Craft partners Sportmer and Monaco Marine take the lead in St Tropez and Monaco with the addition of two new J Craft Torpedoes to their Torpedo fleet this year. See the programme here. J Craft will be present at both the Cannes (Sept. 12 - 17) and Monaco (Sept. 27 - 30) Boat Shows exhibiting the latest Torpedo, BaBeBi, the most fully equipped J Craft Torpedo to date, through partners Sportmer and Monaco Marine. In the US, in partnership with Dave Mallach, J Craft will exhibit at the three major international boat shows this Fall: Newport, RI (Sept. 14 – 17); Annapolis, MA (Oct. 5 – 8) and Fort Lauderdale, FL (Oct. 25 – 29) with a Torpedo on display. Since splashing its first luxury dayboat in 1999, J Craft has continued to build boats on Sweden’s island of Gotland. There, in the middle of the sometimes-furious Baltic Sea, J Craft capitalizes on the island’s strong marine heritage and centuries of boat-building tradition. J Craft’s team of experienced craftsmen and women devote more than 9.000 hours to building each unit, and they all undergo extensive sea trials in the challenging Nordic waters before delivery. Artistry. Heritage. Craftmanship. Woodwork. These are the cornerstones of the exclusive J Craft brand. Built for the few, appreciated by the many, J Craft has quietly continued to produce bespoke works of art for knowledgeable yachtsmen and women. These owners understand that a Torpedo 42 is far from a mainstream production boat; it is a passion project for those meticulous owners who demand quality, finesse and performance.

  • How to Keep Your Social Life After Quitting Cigarettes

    Quitting cigarettes is a fantastic achievement, but though you may have stopped smoking, that doesn’t make you immediately immune to it. Cravings, withdrawals, and triggers are hurdles many have to overcome. Another significant factor that can make it challenging to stay clean is your friends and social circle. A study published in BMC Public Health on peer influence on smoking highlights how the desire for belonging and acceptance leads many to smoke. You’re then torn between the desire to quit or the temptation to fall back into old habits when you’re with friends, especially if they smoke, too. The goodd news is that you don’t have to take up smoking again or cut your friends off from your life to solve the problem. Here’s how you can retain your events calendar and social life after the big quit: Change up your hangouts Some places you and your friends frequent might not be helpful environments when you’re trying to stay away from cigarettes. Bars and clubs flowing with alcohol and smoke or outdoor spots near smoking zones may increase your cravings. These might be fun places you all enjoy, but frequent hangouts in those places could weaken your resolve. Instead of going to your usual spots, try switching things up a bit. You can host the hangout at your place, giving you more control over what you serve and do to minimise triggers. You can take the initiative to suggest the next spot and choose a location with many activities to keep your mind off smoking. You might find that more intimate gatherings are more enjoyable for everyone and can help bring you closer. Pack nicotine alternatives Smoking cessation isn’t a one-and-done thing; being out with friends—especially smokers—might exacerbate your cravings. Instead of giving in and asking for a smoke, tobacco-free alternatives can help tamp down those urges. Nicotine pouches are a great product for a night out. Most nicotine pouches come in cans, which allow users to experience nicotine satisfaction on the go. You can keep them tucked beneath your upper lip for an hour as you absorb the nicotine and the flavors; citrus, mint, and wintergreen are among the most popular from manufacturer VELO that can be found on the popular e-commerce platform Prilla. You won’t have to worry about stained teeth and bad breath either while you’re out. Another great option is nicotine patches, which have been around for decades as a quitting aid. Brands like Habitrol nicotine patches come with two or three-step programs over eight or twelve weeks, gradually lowering the nicotine dose after some time. They’re also good for curbing cravings when you’re out; nicotine is released from the patch and absorbed by the skin for up to 24 hours. You’ll have a steady dose and a buzz that lasts the whole day, so being with friends for a while won’t be an issue. Set healthy boundaries Your community is essential to the quitting journey, and your friends can be a great support system. However, some of the things they want to do or places they want to go during your get-togethers may trigger your urge to smoke. It may seem selfish or embarrassing initially, but setting healthy boundaries for going out can alert your friends about your triggers, and you can work together to make things easier for everyone. A write-up on boundaries by Forbes notes that they allow you to understand and respect each other’s perspectives. Doing so can prevent future conflicts and resentment among you and your friends. You can start by asking friends not to smoke with you in the room or to choose hangout spots that don’t permit smoking or have smoking zones nearby. Communicate your boundaries to your friends and be honest about why you’re setting them. Your friends will likely appreciate you being upfront about your limits, and you can work together to adjust your usual hangout routines. Hear them out about their own perspectives and limits as well. all images © Read our Summer Issue See Haute couture from Dior, Alexis Mabille, Georges Hobeika, Zuhair Murad, Valentino and more Explore Moralmoda Art Culture Lifestyle Travel Business Interviews Events ​ Get in touch About us Contacts Subscribe
