That the CUPRA Raval would not be a classic small car? It's been clear since its guest appearance in our pop-up the ramp space. Now the Challenger Brand has unveiled it. And the Raval doesn't perform, it competes. Against habit, against convention, for a rethought, urban electric feeling.

Looking into the future? You can do that - at least architecturally - in Copenhagen. You'll find the ideal accommodation at Hotel Locke Copenhagen, in the centre of the lively Postbyen district.

Of course, you can ask yourself whether an Alpine can be fully electric. Or should be. But you can also just get into an Alpine A390 GT in southern Spain and drive off. That's what we did.

We pack our suitcase and take it with us? It doesn't really matter as long as we can fill the Carl Friedrik Carry-On Aluminium. The new luggage model from the British traveller brand is particularly stylish, robust and practical.

There are books that you leaf through - and those that you want to dive into immediately. Buongiorno - The Art of Living Under the Italian Sun clearly belongs to the second category

You can understand Rolex without knowing Hans Wilsdorf – but you cannot explain it. Behind the brand stands not a loud visionary, but a quiet strategist who turned observation into a system.

There are motorbikes. And there are statements. The new Ducati Superleggera V4 Centenario is the latter - a rideable manifesto of carbon fibre, performance and Italian radicalism. Built to show what is possible when you consistently refuse to compromise. 100 years of Ducati - and instead of nostalgia, there's a hyperbike that thinks more along the lines of MotoGP than the road.

Cool is a coveted trait. For people, of course, but for brands and products as well. Which raises the question: Is Rolex cool?

When Porsche does something, it does it right. And with the will to realise the highest standards itself. So? Porsche Design has built its own watch manufactory in a historic building in Grenchen, Switzerland. We were there for the opening.

You already know that the tennis court at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes is one of the most beautiful courts in the world. We also reported on the Ottagono Wellness Gym. So we don't really need to tell you any more about how good it is to live at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. But of course we do.

Wie die eigene Uhr eine Verbindung mit der eigenen Zeit eingeht. Was man besonders spürt, wenn sie geraubt wird. Und warum man eine Rolex nicht polieren darf.

In the 60s, Steve McQueen was the coolest dog in Hollywood. Today, this McQueen is considered the coolest dog in the universe. At least. But that's how it is when personality, stories and images are ideally combined to create a stylistic figure that is as authentic as it is iconic and abstract. He would have been 96 years old today.
