    Trident by Triumph

    For a motorcycle company with more than 100 years heritage, any change to the brand’s proposition sends shockwaves through the segment. So it is today with Triumph’s latest model — the Trident. Triumph’s history is punctuated with legends, from racing icons to their category defining bikes, but for this latest iteration the goals are… different.…

  • DRIVEN — All new Honda e

    DRIVEN — All new Honda e

    Some concept cars you look at and think “Looks great, but it will never happen.” With the Honda e the dream pretty much made it unscathed from the conceptual artistic drawings to the public roads. You can wax lyrical about its visual design but there is much more to the Honda e than its Pixar…

    King of the Night — featuring Cullinan Black Badge

    In what now seems a different Age, back in February Rolls-Royce followed up the unveiling of the latest Black Badge Edition in 2019 with a special photoshoot with photographer Mark Riccioni in Los Angeles. His subject? The Rolls-Royce Black Badge Cullinan, specially equipped with a highly bespoke Urban Photography Recreation Module, and juxtaposed with fellow…

    Niceties — Le Louvre Douzaine by Buly 1803

    To look upon you would think that this cigarette pack-like box contained anything but the fine fragrant delights that await you within — that typifies the whimsical nature of Officine Universelle Buly. Open the “pack” and what greets you are twelve copper topped porcelain-like vials, each containing an alcohol-free water-based Parisian fragrant accord. While “La…

    Nike Flight — A whole new ball game

    One of the greatest attributes of football is that the only thing you need to play the game is a round object. It doesn’t even have to be perfectly round, just round enough to roll, and soft enough to kick. That said, in the elite format of the game, the stakes are high. With the…

  • ANDERSEN A2 — Aesthetically EV

    ANDERSEN A2 — Aesthetically EV

    The first surprise for me was that Andersen were in fact a British brand. Given the distinctly Danish sounding name and the purposely simple yet timelessly elegant Bang & Olufsen-esque aesthetic of the chargers, I had inwardly assumed that they were a Danish brand. I say my first surprise, as it was not the last…

  • Thinkpiece — My Black Story

    Thinkpiece — My Black Story

    I wouldn’t say that I’ve been a victim of racism—to do so would belittle the true sufferings of the black community—but I have experienced racism of varying degrees on many occasions in my life. I’ve had one unprovoked physical altercation, but in the main the racism I’ve experienced falls into the categories I would describe…

    Redbreast 27 — When Ruby Port met Irish Whiskey

    In a world that can be turned on its head in a matter of weeks the feeling of permanence is currently a seemingly distant emotion. It was barely a month ago that I was headed to Dublin to witness the launch of a new permanent addition to the Redbreast family of Single Pot Still whiskeys,…

    Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

    If you thought we were deep in the age of the entrepreneur before, we’re about to encounter new depths, as recent events have rocked the world in its entirety — both digital and actual — leaving business sectors worldwide needing innovation to simply survive, let alone grow. However, one “niche” sector of entrepreneurship is focused…

    DRIVEN — DS 7 CROSSBACK E-TENSE

    I’ll be honest, I’m not overly excited about the electric car revolution. It’s not that I don’t care about what happens to the world — of course I do, it’s my home — but I guess it’s more the cynic in me that wonders exactly how we’re planning on generating that much electricity with causing…

  • One Million Stitches — The Rose Phantom

    One Million Stitches — The Rose Phantom

    One questions I often get asked is “If you could have any car, which one would you choose…?” A hard question to answer, the irony being that the more cars I drive, the less certain I become. There are cars I definitely wouldn’t want to own, but that is perhaps a tale for another time.…

    LIMITED EDITION — Elton John x Bamford London

    After a brief respite, the Bamford London juggernaut has spurred back into action with their latest timepiece — a collaborative release with Sir Elton John. This isn’t the first time the legendary musician has combined with the Bamford brand, the first iteration being a successful release back in 2018 with the Bamford Watch Department. Using…

    Life without mirrors — Leica SL2

    Given the brand’s history and prestige in the photography sector, any camera that Leica release sets wallets twitching worldwide — their most recent launch is no exception. Building on the success of the Leica SL in 2015, the brand has now introduced the Leica SL2; the only mirrorless camera to be designed and crafted in…

    First Look — Black Badge Cullinan by Rolls-Royce Motors

    The thing about super luxury automotive is that there is so much to enjoy aside from their core function of being able to take you from “A-to-B”, at times it’s hard to know what aspect to focus on. When it comes to Rolls-Royce, this problem is amplified exponentially. That said, with the Rolls-Royce Black Badge…
