MOTION IN ACTION

What’s the one constant in the world of men? Well, apart from all those married-men memes that are mostly unfunny and persistent, it’s the idea that we’re changing. About time, too, because we are far from what we are intended to be. And, a striking majority of men I’ve met over the last few years echo this sentiment. If Charles Darwin was right, men came from monkeys. Since no one has been able to prove otherwise, that is almost certainly the universal conclusion. Then, one asks oneself, how come some monkeys are more human than some men? The answer is simple, of course: most monkeys live by rules that their ancestors have ensured are embedded in their DNA. When it comes to men, these “rules” may have been dictated not by…

SARAH TANAT JONES A London-based illustrator, Sarah studied in Edinburgh and has created our first cover sketch. Her work is bold and fluid, and she’s worked for some of the world’s biggest media brands. When not drawing pictures, Sarah’s probably making music as a singer, drummer and percussionist. NICK SAGLIMBENI The brain behind Slickforce Studio in downtown LA, Nick has worked on magazine covers, numerous campaigns and the well-received charitable Painted Princess Project. He also created WMB 3D: World’s Most Beautiful, the world’s first 3D magazine. GILLES BENSIMON One of the world’s best-known celebrity photographers, Gilles’ style captures the subject and the environment with a sensual precision. Based in NYC, he works closely with our US cousins for their covers. HARPREET LAMBA A former sports editor at The Asian Age, Harpreet has been writing on sports for…

When supermodel Bregje Heinen glides into Rudy’s, a bar in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen, heads turn, unsurprisingly. Heinen is only 25, but she exudes a quiet elegance that somehow recalls the movie stars of Old Hollywood. At the same time, she’s also down-to-earth and humble enough that she doesn’t seem out of place in a barroom full of daytime revellers. Heinen was born in Borculo, a sleepy burg of 10,000 in the eastern Netherlands. She broke into the business at the age of 14 after being discovered by a Dutch modelling agency on Hyves, a now-defunct Dutch social media platform. “I had been asked before [to model], but I never took it seriously,” Heinen says, forgoing the beer in front of her for a glass of ice-cold water. “My mom and…

Joining the G-SHOCK brand as a new athleisure series, Casio’s G-SQUAD doesn’t confine itself to a particular type: it’s making sure that every box is checked by perfectly straddling both style and immense functionality.

Every year, London’s top-tier bartenders come together for one week, solely to share their trendiest new creations. They come geared up with all the spirits you can think of, and some creations you’ve probably never heard of.

WHISKY WORLD TOUR

It’s time to stop being so binary about whisky. While scotch and bourbon offer varying degrees of caramel, citrusy, rich, oaked, smoky and sublime flavours, to simply sip rare single malts and Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve is to cut yourself off from a literal world of whisky. Around the globe, boundaries and borders are being crossed. With Scottish brands breaking rules, renegade distillers on the Continent making terroir-specific spirits, and Japanese artisans paying tribute to Scotland, we are living in the golden age of the golden spirit. Monks may have ignited what became the scotch whisky industry, but it was entrepreneurs who globalised it. And, today, Scotland is known as much for its innovation as it is for the old stuff. The early single malts tended to be aggressively flavoured,…

SEX IN THE SUN?

Sunlight is good for your mood, sure, and the warmth is relaxing. But, there’s another benefit that’s better than any of that: it boosts your body’s production of vitamin D, and more vitamin D means better sex. According to multiple studies, even an hour of catching some rays will produce higher levels of the crucial vitamin and boost its most important after-effect. The Sun quoted health expert Aly Dilks, “We know that people can suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) in winter months, so the sun is hugely important for our well-being.” Dilks went on to say that when it comes to the sun’s positive effects on chemicals, “testosterone is the one that is most responsible for our sex drive, and studies show that the sun is a great factor in its…

LET HER TRAIN YOU

Contrary to popular belief, your “abs” and your “core” are not one and the same. The abdominal muscles that you’re probably more familiar with are the superficial ones that are primarily worked by flexing the spine—think sit-ups and crunches. However, the core includes all of those abdominal muscles in addition to all of the muscles of the pelvic girdle, lower back and glutes. To train the core in its entirety, you need to include a variety of exercises that address all the key components—flexing the spine, extending the spine (back extension and reverse hyperextension variations), extending the hips (glute bridges and hip thrust variations), twisting or rotating the torso, and holding the spine still. This way, you will help prevent back pain, boost your agility, increase your flexibility and look good…

In July of 2017, when Conor McGregor showed up to promote his fight with Floyd Mayweather wearing a suit with pinstripes that were in actuality repetitions of the phrase “FUCK YOU” in white letters, the world hailed it as the sartorial equivalent of mixed martial arts. In fact, McGregor’s move was nothing new; he was, as usual, just doing it more violently than anyone else. But such forays into “extreme bespoke,” where custom fabrics are merely the starting point for creating garments that are literally one of a kind, are rarely seen at press conferences. Duncan Quinn, the British-born New York–based lawyer-turned-designer whose signature style was once described as “Savile Row meets rock ‘n’ roll,” has made similar suits for well-heeled clients, though most of the messages woven into them “were…

“THE PURPOSE OF THE EMOTION IS TO CREATE THE WORLD’S MOST INNOVATIVE ALL-ELECTRIC VEHICLE.” IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY AUTOMOTIVE brand is now building its version of an electric vehicle or hybrid, but very few consider them to be the core of their businesses. This couldn’t be further from the truth for legendary automotive designer Henrik Fisker and his eponymous company Fisker Inc., which has released its first jaw-dropping creation for consumers, the Fisker EMotion. A four-door, plug-in electric luxury sedan, the EMotion pushes the limits of electric performance, offering around 650 kilometres per charge, thanks to its lightweight construction and next-generation battery technology. “The purpose of the EMotion is to create the world’s most innovative all-electric vehicle,” Fisker explains, “both in terms of packaging the electric power train to create a more…

FORM & FUNCTION

WHEN MASSIMO TAMBURINI, ONE OF THE most influential motorcycle designers in history, ended his tenure at MV Agusta, the iconic Italian builder where he had spent much of his career, one could be forgiven for seeing the move as the retirement of a legend. But, Tamburini had other ideas. The man who designed some of history’s most beloved two-wheeled machines, including the Ducati 916 and the MV Agusta F4, had something special in mind. The break with MV Agusta at the end of 2008 provided the veteran Italian designer with the time, and freedom, to begin turning his wildest dream into reality: creating the most extreme, performance-focused, track-only sport bike ever built. So, Massimo set to work, often designing for 12 hours a day. Complying with his noncompete agreement with Agusta,…

THE BIRTH OF AN ICONA

AT THE HEART OF THE FERRARI HEADQUARTERS IN MARANELLO, Italy, the official inauguration of a sparkling new building dubbed the Centro Stile, a.k.a. the Styling Centre, is taking place. Enveloped in 3,000 elements of gilded aluminium, the geometric, glass- and gold-adorned facade doubles as a shroud of the highly secretive operations inside and a magnet for the eyes of passersby. The building, designed in partnership with architect Davide Padoa, is now home to Ferrari’s in-house design team, a new Atelier and the Tailor Made personalisation studio—a shrine for global cognoscenti of machines that go really, really fast. It also houses a state-of-the-art presentation room crowned with vivid 10-metre LED video displays that came to life on Capital Markets Day—a showcase of the company’s business plan.

DON’T CALL IT AN SUV

FOR YEARS, FERRARI SCOFFED AT THE idea of following in the footsteps of other bejewelled manufacturers in creating an SUV. Desperately chasing the market like rivals Lamborghini, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and company was beneath them—so much so that many at Ferrari claimed they would never build one. Chief of design Flavio Manzoni went so far as to say those who chased SUV sales exhibited a “lack of courage.” That was only in 2016. Hence, the late CEO Sergio Marchionne made global headlines earlier this year when he revealed that the world’s most famous builder of ultra-performance machines was indeed considering a new vehicle that, to the casual fan, looks an awful lot like a sport utility vehicle. The untimely and shocking passing of Marchionne in July has done nothing to derail those…

The 65-foot LY 650 is set to join the LS sedan, LX SUV and LC coupe as the fourth Lexus flagship vehicle. Executive vice president Shigeki Tomoyama commissioned the Marquis-Larson Boat Group to “present a dream-like vision of the luxury lifestyle; one where the Lexus Yacht expands the potential of Lexus mobility to the ocean.” Viewed from the profile, the subtle rise and fall of the yacht’s quintessentially-Lexus lines flow into the rising, broad hips of its rear.

NOW THAT GOOGLE GLASSES HAS GONE BUST AND THE world waits to see if Microsoft’s promising HoloLens materialises as a consumer product, a company called North has created Focals, a 70,000 wearable that might be the most promising pair of smart glasses yet. Looking more like regular glasses, Focals can be connected to your phone via Bluetooth and have a tiny projector that beams data and basic notifications right in front of your eyes. North claims that Focals can display text messages, weather, time and directions right below your line of sight, and can even order an Uber.

There was no instance of such a pulp magazine doing the rounds in those days. Father was personally a sci-fi bookworm. This brought them close. This teaming up with Bardhan is akin to father joining hands with Subhash Mukhopadhyay (famed Bengali poet) to revive our (Ray) family magazine, Sandesh,” says Sandip, Ray’s son. When the concept was fully drawn-out, Ray, according to Sandip, floated the idea of sending word to various personalities across…

THE FUTURE IS 20/20

NOW THAT GOOGLE GLASSES HAS GONE BUST AND THE world waits to see if Microsoft’s promising HoloLens materialises as a consumer product, a company called North has created Focals, a 70,000 wearable that might be the most promising pair of smart glasses yet. Looking more like regular glasses, Focals can be connected to your phone via Bluetooth and have a tiny projector that beams data and basic notifications right in front of your eyes. North claims that Focals can display text messages, weather, time and directions right below your line of sight, and can even order an Uber. The glasses are also connected to Alexa, so if you are looking for directions or any sort of information, a tiny speaker will whisper the answers in your ears. The unit is…

REBUILD YOUR MIND

Weall want to be better. Better at our jobs, better lovers, happier overall... but, it’s easier said than done, thanks to how easily our emotions and willpower get swayed by everyday life and once-every-second cellphone pings. But, if you learn how to avoid those pitfalls, your life will suddenly get a whole lot better. And so, with a little help from Entrepreneur, Psychology Today and a good bit of research by a team of talentless researchers (us!), here are some expert fixes. DEAL WITH YOUR EMOTIONS Take a minute to think about what you do when you are feeling some unsavoury emotions. Do you bury yourself in your bed and sleep for hours when you’re sad? Do you binge-eat when you’re stressed? Grab a bottle and start drinking when you are angry?…

SENSUALITY UNLEASHED

Dietrich Mateschitz was just another businessman visiting Thailand in the early 1980s, trying to expand the market for his company, the consumer goods firm Blendax, as its marketing director. So, it hardly seemed meaningful when the tired traveller popped open a small bottle of a syrupy concoction popular with Thailand’s truck drivers and blue-collar workers. The drink, called Krating Daeng (Thai for ‘red bull’), gave Mateschitz not only the spark of energy he was looking for, but a spark of inspiration. And where some might have seen opportunity, the entrepreneurial Austrian saw something more: the seeds of an empire. Mateschitz was born in Austria in 1944 to parents of Croatian ancestry. A late bloomer professionally, it took him a decade to finish his degree before he began working for a number…

If owning a private island isn’t on your bucket list, it should be because it may be a more attainable goal than you think. That’s the takeaway from our investigation into the trend of adding an island to your portfolio and joining the lofty likes of Leo DiCaprio (Belize), Mel Gibson (Fiji) and Johnny Depp (Bahamas) in looking down on the landlocked, who will never enjoy 360° views. To help you make it happen, we consulted one of the world’s top experts, Alexander Kraft, the chairman and CEO of Sotheby’s International Realty France–Monaco, who says private islands are ultimately great long-term investments. “Clients are often surprised at how many different choices, and price points, exist for private islands,” Kraft tells Maxim. “While untouched islands in remote parts of the world can…

Clash Of The Titans

Think field hockey and India’s glorious eight Olympic gold medals come to mind. Unparalleled in the history of the game, gleaming bright and precious—Indians were the invincible heroes since they first took part in the Olympic Games hockey competition in 1928 and maintained their stranglehold for a long time. It’ll only be fair to say that India owned hockey, back in the day. That rich history and a dream for a brighter tomorrow will push India to the forefront as the FIH Hockey World Cup takes centre stage in Bhubaneswar this winter.
