You Can Now Get a Limited-Edition Year of the Dragon Mod For Your Range Rover


A beautifully appointed powerhouse fit for the Lunar New Year is here.

Have we seen the last of the Lunar New Year launches? Over the past few weeks, there have been capsule collections from leading brands, special-edition watches and bottles, and dragon-motif jewellery, but a dragon-inspired car did not cross our minds. Now, zooming into focus, leaving a cloud of dust in its wake, a Range Rover to celebrate the Year of the Dragon has been poised and parked in the region—and we just had to check it out.

The Best in Gear, From Bang & Olufsen and Samsung to Devialet and KEF

Turntable

Bang & Olufsen

Beosystem 72-23 Nordic Dawn Limited Edition

Groovy, baby, the 1970s are back! In March 2023, a BBC headline went viral for reporting that vinyl records outsold CDs for the first time in decades. For a generation of a certain vintage, nothing compares to the audible pleasure of vinyl. Well, a daring Danish brand heard the siren call and released a limited-edition vinyl turntable and stereo speakers to meet our needs: the Beosystem 72-23.

“As part of the Recreated Classics Initiative, the Beosystem 72-23 Nordic Dawn Limited Edition symbolises a new beginning for a future where audio products are designed to last, where luxury is expert craftsmanship that expands beyond the first life cycle, and where connectivity can be timeless,” says Mads Kogsgaard Hansen, head of product circularity at Bang & Olufsen.

As expected from the renowned brand, it’s a visual delight as much as audible; the Beogram 4000C turntable, created in warm colours with a birchwood panel and Nordic aesthetics, is accompanied by a matching pair of Beolab 28 speakers. A Beoremote Halo remote control allows for seamless operation of the system. Each unit comes with a walnut presentation box, which doubles as a storage cabinet for your record collection—it’s a nostalgic touch of the past that warms our heart, while the handy wireless charging station looks into the future.

Inside The Pedder Arcade, an Elevated Retail Space For Distinguished Menswear

 


A dream realised, menswear and real estate never looked so damn good.
 
Images can be deceptive, and the photos sent to us of The Pedder Arcade look like set pieces of a film based in New York (Woody Allen’s Manhattan comes to mind)—the elongated ink-blue metallic arches, the high ceilings, and the stellar view of skyscrapers with billboards of American stars peddling the latest threads from designer brands all scream sophistication.

Except, of course, it’s not New York City—it’s the new retail haven in the heart of Central, on the fifth floor of the Beaux-Arts-style Pedder Building. From top to toe, the newly opened Pedder Arcade exudes white-glove perfection and debonair flair.

Globe-Trotter’s New Limited-Edition Collection Pays Homage to Hong Kong

 

Emotional baggage? We sure are sentimental about these travel accessories.




 

Most luggage brands and travel accessories prioritise function over aesthetics—look at any airport carousel and stare in horror as dusted and busted, dirt-encrusted, often misshapen rectangles head your way. Unless it’s a piece from the haloed catalogue of famed British travel brand Globe-Trotter, which has just launched a must-have series that we’re unabashedly coveting.
