Limited to just 18 examples priced at $780,000 apiece, Jacob & Co.’s new Astronomia Maestro Worldtime Tourbillon is astounding even at first glance. Upon further inspection it appears nearly impossible. Because, just for starters, its miniature globe and astronaut are no mere design flourish—the former acts as the watch’s worldtime function, while the latter orbits the horological marvel’s Milky Way aventurine dial, rotating around its own axis once every 90 seconds. The entirely mechanical three-dimensional, 50mm timepiece builds upon Jacob & Co.’s ties to outer space, a healthy obsession of founder Jacob Arabo. In 2014 the company introduced the celestial-themed Astronomia Tourbillon, featuring an exposed vertical movement with four arms rotating around a central gear. Last year Arabo called it not only the “most important watch to my company,” but…

Cardi B and Offset, former Maxim cover stars Cindy Kimberly and Teyana Taylor, performances by 112 and Saadiq, and custom art by Ryan Keeley made Maxim’s 2021 Art Basel party a night to remember. The starstudded poolside event went down at the Hyde Beach club at the SLS South Beach on December 4. Kimberly lit up the room in a stunning red dress as she strolled around the venue appreciating pieces commissioned in her honor. Keeley’s grand art installations showcased his unique Hybrid-Expressionist style, with digital remixes of Kimberly’s images captured by famed photographer Gilles Bensimon. Beats by MC/DJ duo Brandon King and DJ Draws kept the crowd going, while Saadiq presented an incredible musical experience that celebrated feel-good R&B, up-tempo hip-hop, and deep cuts alike. Legendary hip-hop group 112…

Asked to define his work during his most prolific period, the late, great Slim Aarons (1916–2006) unhesitatingly declared: “Attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places.” So well and so distinctively did he document them, the sheer ripple effect of his influence is hard to calculate, even 15 years after his death. Aarons, who was born in the Hudson River Valley and got his start as a war photographer before finding his true milieu in Hollywood in the 1950s, was unrivaled in focusing solely on his idealized subject matter, to the exclusion of all else. As interior design guru Jonathan Adler notes in his foreword to Slim Aarons: Style, recently published by Abrams and one of the most striking anthologies of Aarons’ work to date, “In Slim’s world, the dramatis…

There’s something unparalleled about powering a four-wheel hunk of metal up a vertiginous mountain, crawling over boulders and making short work of ruts that would graveyard your traditional crossover. Dare I say Alpha Male Bolstering. Man and machine working in unison to traverse landscapes plucked from a spaghetti western. We’ve done it in hulking machinery bearing Land Rover, Jeep and Mercedes-AMG badges, their locking differentials grinding in battle with huge V8s gulping gallons of petrol in exchange for inches of land cleared. But it’s quite a sensation to experience it in utter silence. The only sound the grinding of rubber against rock, of friction and laboring metal—the result of batteries and electric motors in place of an internal combustion engine: i.e. the Rivian R1T, the first electric pickup in America…

In February 1945, UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill hosted a luncheon in honor of the King of Saudi Arabia, which he later wrote about in his memoirs: “A number of social problems arose. I had been told that neither smoking nor alcoholic beverages were allowed in the Royal Presence. As I was the host at the luncheon I raised the matter at once, and said… that if it was His Majesty’s religion to deprive himself of smoking and alcohol, I must point out that my rule of life prescribed, as an absolutely sacred rite, smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after—and if need be during—all meals, and in the intervals between them. The King graciously accepted the position.” Churchill’s passion for cigars was legendary, and he would…

Her 1.2 million Instagram followers know model Cydney Moreau (aka @cydrrose), as a statuesque blond in bikinis on white sand beaches. They see her wearing curve-accentuating workout gear, or elegant eveningwear attending A-list events at fivestar venues. Her life might look like a bed of roses, but every rose has its thorn. “It’s a lot of work ‘cause you have to have self-drive and you have to put yourself out there and make connections. I really do enjoy it. It’s something I’m passionate about,” she says of her job working withbrands like Alo Yoga, Musesonly, Fashion Nova, Politics and Time & Tonic jewelry and watches, for which she is a brand ambassador. “I work with brands I can relate to and that I actually enjoy every day. So, a lot…

Hair by Leslie Lopez Makeup by Peter Butler Production by Jessica Athanasiou “MY DREAM DATE WOULD BE AT THE BEACH OR IN THE FOREST” Tanya Kizko might be relatively new to the modeling world, but she’s already crushing it—and it’s no wonder why. Judging by her impossibly long legs, ethereal icy blue eyes, and cascading curly amber hair, it’s blindingly obvious that the Ukrainian showstopper was destined to become a model. Her graceful personality fits the bill, too. “I was always a girly girl, and I’ve always loved everything about women and feminine energy,” she tells us. And she truly embodies everything about beauty and femininity: quietly intelligent and breathtakingly beautiful, with flawless, delicate curves in all the right places. Despite her head-spinning good looks, modeling wasn’t something that was…

“TUNE THE REST OF THE WORLD OUT WHEN YOU TRADE FOMO FOR VOMO” If jaw-dropping beauty tops your Fiji bucket list—as it should—verdant Vomo Island delivers on every level. It is fringed by three miles of pillowy, creamy sand beaches that drift into impeccably clear water. As you tender to the island’s shores for the first time and the mirage comes into focus, the sudden, inexplicable urge to turn cartwheels should not be repressed. If there was ever a place to unleash your inner child, this is it. Think footprint-less stretches of sand and zero noise pollution. Hit the beach during low tide for the maximum in delicious stretches of cake-flour fine sand. By all means work from home, but be prepared to tune out the rest of the world…
