A major difference from its predecessor is the lack of leather notes accompanying iris and tuberose which was notable in the first Bulgari Man in Black.

This chapter of Cartier’s legacy began with the Trinity ring. Born out of Louis Carter’s fervent imagination, it was ahead of its time, emerging during the Roaring ’20s. As the creative force behind the famed jeweler, Louis dared to return to the basics of pure design, changing the course of history by bringing classic jewelry into the modern age and, ultimately, creating what is arguably the brand’s first design icon. THE STORY OF THREE Three is a magic number for Cartier. It tells the story of three brothers—Louis, Pierre and Jacques—and of three historic Cartier boutiques in Paris, London and New York. The first iteration of the Trinity ring from 1924 features three intertwining bands crafted in three precious metals. The first is yellow gold which represents fidelity; the second…

Ceramic, known for its impressive technical properties such as complete resistance to scratches and lightweight durability, has become a corner-stone of high-end watchmaking in recent years.

This launch, featuring the maison’s first use of ceramic in its urban line, essentially stole the show with its striking, complete black vibe. The best part is that Bell & Ross didn’t launch just one, but three new timepieces in this durable material. Design-wise, the new models, namely the BR 05 Black…

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns … and for actor Niko Terho, it is exactly those twists and turns that have paved the way for his extraordinary journey.

Standing tall and striking, Daniils Dmitrijevs has worked with a number of prominent modeling agencies from around the world, walking for major fashion shows and gracing the pages of top magazines. But his story hasn’t always been so charming. Hailing from Latvia, Dmitrijevs grew up in modest circumstances, far removed from the glamor of the fashion industry. And when DA MAN had the opportunity to chat with him, what we found was not just a story about achieving success, but about the relentless drive and hard work behind it. DAMAN: Can you tell us a bit about your background and how you got started in modelling? Daniils Dmitrijevs: I am originally from Latvia, a small country next to the Baltic Sea. I was raised by my mum. We were quite…

The Longines HydroConquest collection was first launched back in 2007 and quickly gained a reputation as a solid divers’ watch. Then, a comprehensive rework of the lineup came out in 2018, which further boosted the HydroConquest popularity, especially among those looking for sporty timepieces. Another major milestone for the collection happened last year, when the Hydro Conquest GMT made its debut. And now, in 2024, the family grows even bigger. The most apparent new trait of the new HydroConquest GMT novelties is the 43mm case; slightly—but still noticeably—larger than last year’s models. The new stainless-steel case features alternating polished and satin-brushed faces as well as a screw-down caseback, hinting at its divers’ watch credentials. And on that note, the cases are water-resistant up to 300 meters. Of course, what’s inside…

CARTIER SANTOS-DUMONT REWIND Bold and transformative are the most appropriate descriptors of Cartier’s new releases this year. One particular model that stunningly embodies these two qualities is the Cartier Santos-Dumont Rewind. As its name implies, the watch celebrates the daring legacy of aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. More importantly, this new model exudes the spirit, style and magic of the free-spirited pioneer in an unexpected manner. In a nutshell, Cartier has flipped the way we traditionally tell the time. The Cartier Santos-Dumont Rewind features a mechanical movement with reversed manual winding—the calibre 230 MC—that moves backwards rather than forwards.

After a vigorous workout session, it definitely feels nice to soak in a hot tub. This feature has popped up in many gyms and even hotels, and allows us to relax our muscles and helps relieve stress. However, you might notice that in some places, the hot tub is adjacent to another pool that many are probably not eager to jump into. Yes, it’s the cold tub. Bathing in cold water for a certain period of time is called a cold plunge, as stated by Jonathan Leary, founder of wellness club Remedy Place, in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. However, a proper cold plunge is not just a regular bath with room-temperature water. Grand Pool Indonesia mentions that, in general, the water used for cold plunge pools ranges between 10-15…
