Developed in collaboration with the famous watch media Revolution, Frederique Constant’s seminal technical breakthrough, the Slimline Monolithic Manufacture, is now dressed in a rosé-inspired color palette with oversized Breguet numerals in this exclusive limited edition. The Frederique Constant × Revolution Slimline Monolithic FP(S) or Future Past (Salmon) willbe made in just 100 examples and will come with two straps, a black calf leather strap with a deployant buckle, and an additional grey calf leather strap. The Slimline Monolithic FP(S) embodies the vision of reliable, modern and lasting watchmaking. Its single monocrystalline round silicon wafer complemented by two regulation weights replaces the 26 components of a standard assortment - including the lever, the balance wheel and the balance spring. Almost indestructible, the Monolithic oscillator is the guarantor of long life. Since monocrystalline silicon requires no lubrication, using this material eliminates the main weak points of traditional balance wheels and springs. It is 100 % anti-magnetic, withstands temperature variations, is less sensitive to gravity and is four times lighter than a traditional assortment. The lack of a mechanical coupling reduces friction and wear of the components. Therefore, less force is need to drive the escapement wheel and the oscillator. Last but not least, the angle of its amplitude, which is six degrees as opposed to a traditional balance wheel’s 300 degrees, consumes so little energy that even though it beats 10 times faster than a normal watch at 288,000 vibrations per hour or 80 beats per second, it consumes far less energy. In the same movement with a traditional oscillator, the watch would have 38 hours of power reserve. In the caliber FC-810 with the Monolithic oscillator, you have 80 hours of power reserve.

This spring, Hari Krishna's Dholakia Foundation was the only gem and jewellery organisation to attend the UN 2023 Water Conference, held at UN Headquarters in New York, alongside other attendees including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Deloitte Consulting, Inditex and Gallup. "I want to ensure our knowledge unites and helps other diamond-producing nations and other countries. I do not want to die until I have solved the water crisis," - Savji Dholakia, the Founder of Hari Krishna Exports This was the first water conference arranged by the UN since 1977. The Dholakia Foundation has recently completed building 111 lakes in India which conserve 7 billion litres of water, stretching over 100 acres each, which have turned desert into green landscape and which are benefitting the livelihoods of 200,000 farmers. During a Dholakia Foundation gala dinner in New York in the week of the UN 2023 Water Conference, Indian diamond manufacturers Hari Krishna which supplies diamonds to Tiffany & Co. and which is a member of the Watches & Jewellery Initiative 2030 started by Kering and Cartier, announced its Dholakia Foundation is now building 75 further lakes in India in its mission to eliminate drought, disease and economic hardship caused by acute water shortages. Hari Krishna founder Savjibhai Dholakia is a self-made Indian billionaire, who left school and his village, Dudhala in Gujarat, aged 12 due to water scarcity and poverty, armed with a determination to make his fortune in the diamond industry. "I want to ensure our knowledge unites and helps other diamond-producing nations and other countries. I do not want to die until I have solved the water crisis," he says. Savjibhai Dholakia is well known for initiating a staff Loyalty Bonus Program which since 2014 has awarded 4600 employees with gifts of houses, cars and jewellery, with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi having attended Hari Krishna’s Incentive Ceremony in 2018. Q. What work is Hari Krishna’s philanthropic arm, the Dholakia Foundation involved in? Our foundation’s core values are the upliftment of society and preserving the environment for the coming generations. To that end, we have an ambitious aim to eradicate the water crisis and make it a thing of the past. I have witnessed first-hand the hardships caused by a lack of water resources, and we are committed to eliminating drought, disease and poverty caused by the shortage of clean water. To achieve this, the foundation has a mammoth lake construction project and recently constructed our 111th lake in India. These lakes conserve 7 billion litres of water, stretch over huge surface areas of 100 acres each, and are constructed over 20 days with trucks working day and night. I am very proud of what we have managed to achieve so far, helping turn desert wasteland into a green landscape and benefitting 200,000 farmers in the process. We want to keep the momentum going and just last week, we pledged to create 75 more such lakes. However, there are still miles to go - I have a dream to eradicate the water crisis in India completely, and I don’t want to die until I realise this vision. Q. Today Hari Krishna Exports has a turnover of over $1.5 bn. From humble beginnings to a diamond empire, your story is truly an inspiration- how would you describe your journey, and what advice would you have for the younger generations? I left school at the age of 12 and dreamt of making my fortune in the diamond business after observing poverty around me due largely to the lack of water resources. My first job in the diamond business was cutting and polishing diamonds, and I then progressed to the role of a broker. My entrepreneurial streak remained alive, however, and with the support of my brothers, I started Hari Krishna Exports. I wish to continue our legacy of giving back to society and achieve my dream of eliminating the water crisis and making a difference in millions of lives. Coming from a modest background, I feel it is vital for our second generation to learn the value of money and understand the hardships faced by the common man. In our family, we have a unique way of training our future generation, which I implemented with my nephews and my son Dravya – I gave them 500 rupees. I left them to fend for themselves in a new city with no help and away from the trappings of luxury. This experience has taught them the importance of hard work, self-sufficiency, and the value of money. Additionally, I required them to complete four different jobs in just one month. This experience was a challenge for them as they had to navigate a new city, find work, and complete the tasks without any assistance. They learned to adapt to different situations, communicate effectively with people from various backgrounds, and manage their finances. By requiring them to complete four jobs, they learned the importance of hard work and developed a sense of accomplishment from achieving their goals. Overall, this training method has been effective in instilling important values in our family's future generations. We believe that these experiences will help them develop into responsible, compassionate, and successful individuals who will continue to make a positive impact in the world. Q. Could you shed some light on The Dholakia Foundation’s association with The Watch and Jewellery Initiative 2030 by Kering and #Cartier? The Watch and Jewellery Initiative 2030 is a bold initiative by Kering and Cartier, with a vision of creating a fully sustainable watch and jewellery industry through uniting brands that are committed to making a collaborative effort toward furthering the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We recently dedicated a lake to this noble cause and are proud to take on a leadership role in WJI’s water and biodiversity focussed initiatives. The Watch and Jewellery Initiative 2030 (WJI) is an ambitious collaboration spearheaded by Kering and Cartier, aiming to establish a fully sustainable watch and jewellery industry. This initiative unites brands committed to working collectively to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Recently, we named a lake and dedicated it as we joined this noble endeavour and we are honoured to assume a leadership role in WJI's water and biodiversity-centred initiatives. With the Dholakia Foundation - a philanthropic arm of HK Group's extensive experience in constructing river reservoirs, we are well-positioned to raise global awareness about the importance of water conservation. Additionally, we can provide guidance on how individuals and organisations can volunteer or initiate similar efforts in their own communities. Together, we can make a significant difference in preserving our precious water resources and promoting sustainability across the watch and jewellery industry. Savjibhai Dholakia at Credai Natcon 2022 held at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Source YouTube. Q. The #UN hosted the first #WaterConference in almost 50 (46) years in March. How was The #Dholakia Foundation involved with the Conference? We were proud to represent the gems and jewellery industry as the only organisation from the industry participating in the conference. Participating in this conference has been one of the proudest moments of my life so far. Today, 2 billion people live without safe drinking water and over the past 300 years, over 85% of the world’s wetlands have been lost. The Water Conference is a tremendous opportunity for all stakeholders to come together with renewed conviction and work towards solving the water crisis with urgency. We are delighted to be announcing our commitments to water conservation and hosting eminent leaders in the industry for a panel discussion on water conservation. I want to ensure our knowledge unites and helps other diamond producing nations and countries. Q. What are some other initiatives that set Hari Krishna Exports apart as an organisation? At Hari Krishna, we believe our employees are our biggest assets and we are passionate about showing our commitment to their wellbeing by organising wellness and meditation camps for them, and rewarding their hard work however we can, be it through incentives such as houses or cars, or additional financial support for their family, such as with the school fees of their children. We were honoured to have Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally handing over keys to employees during our incentive ceremony in 2018. Q. What advice do you have for other luxury companies wanting to get involved in tackling the global water crisis? As luxury companies, we must be a class apart in our efforts to solve the global water crisis. Looking inwardly and at our supply chain is the first step. I am of the firm belief that the way forward is through collaboration and the sharing of ideas and best practices to tackle this crisis, ensuring we leave behind a legacy for future generations to be truly proud of.

عيسى (@ezzzzzzzzzzza) Essa Rashid, Founder of 90’s Kids Club‎ نادي أطفال التسعينات gave exclusive video interview in Dubai during the Dubai World Cup weekend. Captured by photographer and videographer: Obaid al Matroshi (@_oblab) is a Brands: @kangol, @golaclassics, and @nineteeskidsclub Essa Rashid عيسى (@ezzzzzzzzzzza) | Founder of 90’s Kids Club Back in late 2019 or early 2020, my friends and I had a thing called 90s Kids Club. It was essentially just a private story on my snapchat where we would organize get-togethers and connect while donning trendy 90s streetwear. Essa Rashid عيسى (@ezzzzzzzzzzza) | Founder of 90’s Kids Club ‎نادي أطفال التسعينات As a welcome gift to the club, I used to give each acquaintance a set of quirky glasses; it felt good to start something like the club centred around this period's mood. And at that time, while I was still studying graphic design, I would return home and begin putting the things I had learned into practice on my computer in my own quirky style, adding Arabic texts and experimenting with font, lines, forms, textures, and other elements. I therefore began to include "90’s Kids Club on clothing. Then I set up a brief meeting with Ahmed and Saif, aka McWeesh, who shared my concept and were eager to launch a firm. Then it gradually began from this point. On a piece of paper, we drew the logo with a cheerful face. To make it unique, we included a propeller hat—something we regrettably no longer see in our daily lives. The definition of club for the 90s generations was modified gradually, as many comments we would receive came from other generations, from the 80s; or from the 2000s; who all wanted to know how to be "part of it." As we didn't want to exclude anybody based on age, the name has become significant since different age groups became part of this and it's a fantastic time to talk about it because the brand's major goal is to revive 90s kids' street style, which includes baggy fits, colorful colors, propeller caps, cheerful faces, etc. So the major goal is to establish a club where we can relive the kids of the 1990s. As naming it 90s Kids Club but is is not limited to only those born in this decade :) What prompted you to start the business, and how is your company unique from other streetwear brands? Since there aren't many local designers of this type of brand, I chose to introduce the style to the region, specifically the UAE. I was influenced by different sources outside the region; I used to shop a lot of the same style I now produce. Each brand has its own spirit and story, which are two elements that I believe distinguish them from one another. Perhaps what defines our style is the fact that it started as a club and we strive to make it more of a club than a company. As we work on each collection, which includes a short story film that was recorded with our old camera and converted to digital format at home by me, we also create the boxes for each collection from scratch and include a card that serves as an invitation to the club. What is your target market, and where do you produce and distribute your products? Since the target audience would ultimately arrive if they enjoyed our products, which is why they are referred to as the audience, the key concern is how to present ourselves to a larger audience and to those who are unfamiliar with this. Our distribution takes place at our tiny Sharjah facility, while production is done elsewhere in the world. What is the most positive comment a client has ever made? That's a thoughtful topic, and receiving positive feedback from a client is always a joy. The finest one, in my opinion, is when they complement the garment. We work hard and test numerous prototypes before settling on a nice one, and the best one yet is when some people say they feel comfortable enough to sleep in them! I believed before that I was the only one doing that. (laughs) That's a great question. It's always wonderful to receive positive feedback from customers. The best one, in my opinion, is when they compliment the garment because we work hard and try a lot of samples before we find the right one. The best feedback, though, comes from customers who say they sleep in them. I believed I was acting alone in this. What keeps you the busiest and where are you based? The most of my personal time is spent designing, watching movies, trying to find inspiration in the little things in my daily life, working out, hanging out with friends, etc. We are headquartered in the UAE, namely Sharjah. What do you live by? I suppose through making my parents happy with what I do. What do you want to achieve professionally and personally in the long run? As I previously stated, my personal goals are, in order, to make my parents proud, maybe develop into a well-known designer, expand 90s Kids Club internationally, and eventually have our own shop.

Patek Philippe presents 17 new watch models with innovative technical and aesthetic features, enriching its vast range of collections On the occasion of Watches and Wonders 2023, the Geneva-based manufacture is unveiling a wide selection of new models, ranging from a Calatrava with an original 24-hour display and a Travel Time function for the display of a second time zone, to a new haute joaillerie version of the Grandmaster Chime, and the first Annual Calendar to enter the ladies’ Aquanaut Luce collection, renowned for its modern casual chic. A new vintage celebrating technical mastery and creativity. Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime - Ref. 6300GR-001 Patek Philippe reinterprets the design of this exceptional watch by offering it for the first time in a “two-tone” version on which the reversible double-sided white gold case is combined with rose gold pushers, crown, minute repeater slide piece and swivel links. This model with its 20 complications is the most complicated Patek Philippe wristwatch in current production. The striking mechanism features three gongs and five chiming modes: grande sonnerie, petite sonnerie, minute-repeater and two patented world exclusives – an alarm sounding the programmed time and a date-repeater striking the date at will. “Why does Patek Philippe offer so many different collections? Because each of them has its own character and its own way of enabling us to innovate and express ourselves.” That was the message from Thierry Stern, president of the family-owned manufacture, in a recent communications campaign centering on the company’s brand philosophy. From the Grand Complications to the elegant sports models and others that have become icons of horological design, Patek Philippe maintains a vast choice of watches for men and women in every market segment. As time passes, the manufacture takes great care to ensure a balanced evolution of the approximately 150 references, which are crafted in small series, ranging from about ten pieces to a few hundred. The 17 new introductions presented at the Watches and Wonders 2023 salon are the perfect illustration. Five refined new looks for the striking watches –Grand Complications emblematic of Patek Philippe Since the manufacture’s foundation in 1839, Patek Philippe has made its mark as one of the greatest specialists in striking watches. Its supreme mastery was confirmed in 2014 by the launch, as a limited edition, of the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime – the most complicated Patek Philippe wristwatch, with 20 complications. This timepiece, which joined the current collection in 2016, is particularly notable for its five chiming modes, including an alarm striking the pre-selected time, and a date repeater striking the date on demand. The manufacture is reinterpreting the design of the double-face reversible case, endowed with a patented rotation mechanism, by presenting it for the first time in a bicolor version combining white gold and rose gold. This new Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Reference 6300GR-001 also stands out by its two brown opaline dials, with a hand-guilloched Clous de Paris or hobnail pattern on the side displaying the time of day, and its two-tone chestnut brown patinated alligator strap and bicolor folding buckle. In 2022, Patek Philippe highlighted the mechanical perfection of the Grandmaster Chime with two gem-set versions, one with baguette-cut diamonds (Reference 6300/400G-001) the other with baguette-cut diamonds and baguette-cut blue sapphires (Reference 6300/401G-001). Now, the manufacture is presenting a new alliance between haute horlogerie and haute joaillerie with the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Haute Joaillerie Reference 6300/403G-001 shimmering with 118 baguette-cut Page 2 emeralds (7.87 ct) and 291 baguette-cut diamonds (20.54 ct) in a superb example of the “baguette” and “invisible” setting techniques. This timepiece is endowed with two dials in ebony-black opaline, with a hand-guilloched Clous de Paris or hobnail pattern on the time side and a shiny black alligator leather strap with emerald-green hand stitching. Another outstanding piece among the striking watches, Reference 5316, launched in 2017, unites a minute repeater, a tourbillon, a perpetual calendar with retrograde date hand and a moon-phase indicator. In the Grand Complication Reference 5316/50P-001, Patek Philippe gives this timepiece a unique new modern allure –with a platinum case and a sapphire-crystal dial with blue metallization and black-gradient rim, affording a veiled glimpse of the mechanical heart of the watch. The manufacture is also enriching its selection of minute-repeating wristwatches –the largest such range in a current collection –with two reinterpretations under the heading of Rare Handcrafts. Rare Handcrafts World Time Minute Repeater Reference 5531G-001 – the first minute repeater model that always strikes the local time –is also the first World Time Minute Repeater in white gold. Its dial center is adorned with a new Grand Feu cloisonné enamel scene depicting one of the famous steamboats still plying the waters of Lake Geneva. Another new model, Rare Handcrafts Minute Repeater Reference 5178G-012, is endowed with a self-winding movement and “cathedral” gongs whose sound is particularly deep and rich. It features a new dial in blue Grand Feu flinqué enamel over a distinctive hand-guilloched swirling pattern. A new complicated model and refreshed designs in the Calatrava collection With its sleek round case and air of understatement, the Calatrava collection (launched in 1932) has made its mark as the archetype of timeless elegance. Over the years, Patek Philippe has added to this vast family a variety of complications used in everyday life, such as the Travel Time dual time zone function and the weekly calendar. The manufacture is now expanding its range of travel watches with the new Calatrava Reference 5224R-001 featuring the Travel Time dual time zone and an original 24- hour display. The new caliber 31-260 PS FUS 24H self-winding movement is further distinguished by its patented system for correcting local time by the crown. It is housed in a rose-gold case harmonizing with a blue dial embellished by complex finishing touches, adorned with numerals, hour markers and five-minute cabochons all in rose gold, individually applied by hand. Since 2015, the models in the Pilot style – inspired by the Patek Philippe watches created for aviators in the 1930s – have featured prominently in the manufacture’s collections, with several versions of the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time with the dual time-zone mechanism, as well as a Grand Complication equipped with a 24-hour alarm. Patek Philippe is now endowing this distinctive line, known for its original, highly recognizable aesthetic, with its first two chronograph models: Calatrava Pilot Travel Time Chronograph Reference 5924G-001, with a blue-gray sunburst dial and a navy-blue grained calfskin strap; and the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time Chronograph Reference 5924G-010, with a lacquered dial in khaki green and an olive-green calfskin strap with a vintage finish. These two watches house the caliber CH 28-520 C FUS self-winding movement uniting three practical and user-friendly complications: a fly-back chronograph, a Travel Time dual time zone function and the date indicated by a hand, coupled with local time. Other new models in the Patek Philippe current collection include the Calatrava references 6007G001, 6007G-010 and 6007G-011 featuring a graphic modern style. The ebony black dials, enriched with three types of finish, center an embossed “carbon” pattern. The dynamism of the design is heightened by touches of color on the dials and straps: yellow (6007G-001), red (6007G-010) or sky blue (6007G-011). The white-gold cases house the caliber 26-330 S C self-winding movement with date and stop-seconds function. Page 3 Patek Philippe is also expanding its range of elegant watches for women with the new Calatrava selfwinding Reference 4997/200R-001, a reinterpretation of a great classic that catches the eye with a rose-gold case and a dial and strap decked out in purple. The dial, embossed with a pattern of concentric waves, is coated with more than fifty layers of translucent lacquer, creating a mesmerizing sense of depth. The case is adorned with a diamond-set bezel and houses the caliber 240 ultra-thin self-winding movement. New functions and new faces for the Aquanaut and Aquanaut Luce Patek Philippe made its mark in the domain of sporty elegance by designing two models that have acquired cult status: the Nautilus (1976) and the Aquanaut (1997), the latter strengthening its offer in 2004 with the launch of the ladies’ Aquanaut Luce line. Following the introduction of a Travel Time dual time-zone model in 2021 and a self-winding chronograph version in 2022, the Aquanaut Luce is now treating itself to a new practical and easy-to-use complication: the patented Annual Calendar. Graced with a blue-gray dial and strap, this Aquanaut Luce Annual Calendar Reference 5261R-001 in rose gold enhances the choice of complicated watches for women with a non-gemset model. The new self-winding ladies’ Aquanaut Luce Reference 5268/200R-010 coordinates a rose-gold case with a dial and integrated strap in taupe –a warm hue between brown and gray in perfect harmony with this model’s “modern casual chic” style. Its characteristic rounded octagonal bezel is lit by the fire of 48 diamonds. The case is water resistant to 120 m and houses the caliber 26-330 S C self-winding movement with stop seconds. The self-winding Aquanaut chronograph for men, already available in steel and in white gold, also sports a rose-gold case for the new Aquanaut Chronograph Reference 5968R-001, endowed with a sunburst dial in a gradient of brown to black, and a matching composite strap. From technical models to jewelry pieces In the segment of complicated watches for men, Self-winding Flyback Chronograph with Annual Calendar Reference 5905R-010 endowed with a rose-gold case and a blue sunburst dial lends a new face to this alliance between two sought-after Patek Philippe complications. The Gondolo collection, comprising the Patek Philippe “form watches” of Art Deco inspiration, announces the return of a jewelry watch with unique style and timeless elegance. The Gondolo Serata Reference 4962/200R-001, in rose gold, is set with spessartites arranged in a double color gradient, highlighting the case’s refined curves. The brown-lacquered dial presents a floral decoration with contrasting finishes. A rich collection of rare handcrafts Once again, as in previous years, Patek Philippe is also unveiling a splendid collection of one-of-a-kind or limited-edition pieces (dome table clocks, table clocks, pocket watches and wristwatches) showcasing the rarest and most refined of the artistic crafts, such as miniature painting on enamel, Grand Feu cloisonné enameling, hand engraving and wood marquetry. The “Rare Handcrafts 2023” exhibition, bringing together these 67 creations, will be open to the public from April 1 to 15 2023 in the Patek Philippe Salons in Geneva

Since 1884 Bulgari has always found a favored source of inspiration in the monuments and architectural treasures of the Eternal City. B.zero1 has been challenging the codes of jewelry design since its first launch in 1999. Over the decades, the beauties of Rome have been translated into Bvlgari’s unmistakable jewelry codes, indelibly shaping the brand identity. Chromatic symphonies, balance of volumes and a flair for geometry brilliantly evoke Rome’s unique coexistence of present and past. A sense of belonging that is expressed even in the logo’s lettering – BVLGARI – echoing classical Latin inscriptions. Reinterpreting the fluid geometries of Rome’s magnificent Colosseum and the contemporary soul of Tubogas, B.zero1 has been challenging the codes of jewelry design since its first launch in 1999. PATRONAGE A tribute to the city which has contributed so decisively to the success of the company, Bvlgari's cultural patronage contributes to restoring iconic monuments and archaeological areas that need to be brought back to light - or rediscovered in a new light.

Offering a coveted collection of only 92 ultra-luxury, waterfront condominium homes and villas, just two miles from both Boca Raton and Pompano Beach, the development will provide owners with unparalleled access to the region’s most picturesque beaches, golf courses, and unspoiled natural surroundings. Rosewood Hotels & Resorts®, in partnership with industry leaders Related Group and Dezer Development, is pleased to announce Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach, a boutique condominium set to bring a new standard for residential offerings in the burgeoning market. Combining this supreme setting with high-design and a broad assortment of resort-inspired amenities, Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach will usher in a next-generation residential experience that will delight longtime Floridians and snowbirds alike. Sales will commence this month with the project scheduled for completion in 2026. Known as “Millionaire’s Mile,” the singular stretch of Florida coast that comprises the Hillsboro Beach neighborhood has drawn in affluent homeowners for decades. Its warm sands, glittering turquoise waters, and relaxed lifestyle contribute to an idyllic way of life that wraps seaside serenity in luxury. “It is immensely rewarding to announce Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach as our latest standalone residential project in such a highly sought after community,” said Brad Berry, Vice President of Global Residential Development at Rosewood Hotel Group. “Millionaire’s Mile has a strong value proposition for buyers that allows for a certain level of escapism, bridging the foundations of a luxury resort with the comfort and familiarity of home. It is a unique parcel that allows for an undeniably elevated style of living, thereby a perfect fit for our growing brand footprint.” Rising ten stories above its pristine residential surroundings, Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach will give residents the chance to curate a personalized slice of paradise through the project’s planned 92 residences and 11 private boat slips. With architecture helmed by Arquitectonica, an international firm known for bringing bold modernism to urban landscapes since 1977, and the acclaimed Dutch design firm Studio Piet Boon overseeing the interiors, the property has been crafted to stay true to Rosewood’s guiding A Sense of Place™ philosophy. Split between 70 beachfront residences and 22 coastal residences, all homes will highlight their enviable setting through a myriad of features. Both buildings have been designed to be reminiscent of a regal yacht, blending the indoors and outdoors with soft, curving terraces, ample natural light and sprawling exterior spaces. Inside, a soft color palette will envelop the units and shared spaces, all of which will showcase an interesting mix of textures including natural wood, limestone accents and biophilic elements. Living flora will be found throughout the buildings’ walls and expand out from the garden spaces, establishing a cohesive connection to nature. Each unit will feature expansive living, dining and sleeping quarters, with many offering private garages and master walk-in closets. “We are truly honored to partner with Rosewood and Related Group on this exciting project,” said designer Piet Boon. “Within the Studio Piet Boon total design vision, we’ve created a smooth transition between indoor and outdoor living, embracing the Miami light and the pristine seafront of Hillsboro Beach.” Six oceanfront and seven coastal penthouses will be available, each a secluded oasis carefully designed to provide the privacy and exclusivity of single family living. Each of these expansive homes will boast private rooftop pools and panoramic views of the glistening waters and the area’s lush flora. Residences will range in size from 2,800 to 6,400 square feet, with the opportunity to combine units to create vast coastal retreats. “We are proud to partner with a brand as respected as Rosewood as we continue our 40-plus-year tradition of pioneering the country’s most desirable residential markets,” said Jon Paul Perez, President of Related. “Hillsboro Mile has long been a haven for the country’s elite. However, with our new development, we are upping the ante in a major way.” Known for a unique approach to residential development that centers on the concept of enriched living, an idea that the extraordinary can be found in the everyday, the Rosewood Residences brand will organize and oversee an extensive selection of resort-style amenities that prioritize ease, simplicity, and indulgence. The project’s comprehensive light-filled wellness center will offer a private spa and salon; two state-of-the-art fitness centers featuring a yoga room; a sauna; tennis, paddle tennis and pickleball courts; and an on-site racquet court pro-shop. Adding to the owner experience will be an array of elevated dining concepts helmed by a celebrated, soon-to-be-announced chef. These will include a private oceanfront restaurant, a convivial bar and grill, a stylish cocktail lounge, a sprawling café lounge with a daily breakfast bar, and a creamery. Owners will also enjoy an exclusive oceanfront pool and outdoor spa area with sunbeds and cabanas, as well as direct access to a private stretch of beach equipped with lounge chairs, umbrellas, and food and beverage service. Additional spaces and services planned for the property include luxury guest suites for visiting friends and family; a game room complete with high-tech virtual reality game simulators; a sunrise lounge perfect for entertaining and events; an intimate garden and meditation lounge areas with ocean views; a bocce court; two meeting rooms; a dog park; and a dramatic lobby complete with lounge space. The property will also feature a curated collection of museum-quality art hand selected by Related’s world-renowned curatorial team. “Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach features a prime location connecting the Intracoastal Waterway to some of the most beautiful beaches in South Florida,” said Gil Dezer, President of Dezer Development. “Spanning nearly 12 acres of waterfront, this property, together with its pristine coastal dune and lush native landscaping, provides a rare canvas upon which this amazing development will be created. We are proud to partner with The Related Group to create an exceptional luxury residential experience.” While South Florida is no stranger to luxurious development, Rosewood Residences will offer buyers a new way to live and play, with a residential offering that channels the ease of resort living and high-touch service. With more than half of Rosewood’s upcoming hotels and resorts featuring Rosewood Residences, the brand continues to take a thoughtful approach to development and evolution in the space, delivering high-end amenities and world-class service while providing buyers with access to some of the world’s most sought-after locations.
