Marking the beginning of a new era of luxury in Mexico, the highly anticipated Rosewood Mandarina welcomes guests to enjoy the captivating energy and cultural reverence of the Pacific coast. Nearly a decade in the making, this all-suite sanctuary was conceived to express an ancient harmony with the natural world and foster meaningful exploration – not only of the destination and the community that has cared for it, but of the self. Set amidst the untamed beauty of Riviera Nayarit’s mega-diverse landscape and nearly 200 miles of untouched Pacific shoreline, Rosewood Mandarina offers an immersive experience across three distinct ecosystems: whether perched atop the lush mountain with sweeping ocean vistas, nestled along the pristine Canalan beachfront, or situated on the sprawling agrarian flatlands at the resort’s heart, guests are called to connect with the region’s dreamlike environment in a deeply personal way. Owned by developer RLH Properties, this resort represents Rosewood’s fourth property in Mexico and a landmark opening for the brand’s esteemed portfolio. With great reverence for its surroundings and cultural heritage, Rosewood Mandarina weaves local storytelling into every element of the guest experience. Each of the 134 ultra-luxurious accommodations—including three specialty suites and two expansive standalone villas—offers a private plunge pool, expansive terraces, and bespoke design elements crafted in collaboration with local artisans to honor the region’s rich heritage. For the pinnacle of rarefied luxury, the Canalan Beachfront Villa and the Cora Four Bedroom Mountaintop Villa provide unparalleled space, privacy, and breathtaking views, complete with infinity pools that blend effortlessly into the horizon. As part of the celebrated Mandarina development, the resort offers an array of curated experiences, from exhilarating surfing and ziplining to horseback riding and spirited polo matches at the Mandarina Equestrian Club, while the Mandarina Golf Club opened April 1st. Rosewood Mandarina invites guests on a gastronomic journey that celebrates regional flavors across multiple dining venues, all paying homage to the region’s fascinating culinary heritage and time-honored ingredients. Guests can savor soulful Mexican fare at La Cocina just steps from the shore of the Pacific Ocean or relax with good vibes and coastal Spanish cuisine on the beach at Buena Onda. Later this year, guests can experience the refined artistry of Toppu, an elegant Japanese fine-dining restaurant at the top of the mountain, or sip craft cocktails at the hidden cliffside Barra Peñasco. The property’s four serene oceanfront pools, state-of-the-art fitness center, and signature Asaya Spa invite guests to enjoy unparalleled relaxation, while younger visitors can engage in enriching, destination-inspired programming at Rosewood Explorers kids’ club. Culturally Rooted Design Drawing inspiration from the ultra-diverse landscape of Riviera Nayarit, Rosewood Mandarina’s design—led by Caroline Meersseman of Bando x Seidel Meersseman—merges modern luxury with the serenity of its extraordinary surroundings. Led by a deep understanding of how the region’s culture and natural environment are intimately intertwined, Meersseman and her team have thoughtfully conceived the entire property to blend harmoniously with the landscape and the region’scenturies-old traditions. The resort’s furnishings and decorative elements celebrate the artistry of the region’s Indigenous Huichol and Cora peoples, incorporating traditional techniques and styles in a way that showcases their profound cultural influence. “The opening of Rosewood Mandarina represents Rosewood Hotels & Resorts’ continued approach to thoughtful growth, where each location is carefully selected to include some of the world’s most magical destinations,” says Radha Arora, President of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. “Our fourth opening in Mexico, Rosewood Mandarina embodies the unique spirit of its surroundings—fostering exploration and togetherness while keeping our impact at the forefront.” Nearly every design element at Rosewood Mandarina is custom-made, offering a meaningful connection to the region’s artistry. Huichol crafts can be discovered throughout the property, from intricate embroidery, beading, and yarn art (made with beeswax and wool) to ojo de dios motifs and hand-sculpted Barro Negro pottery. Equally integral, the Cora people’s artistry is reflected in the resort’s use of intricate knotting, binding, and fiber constructions—most notably in the arrival pavilion, where the traditional rope-assembly installations create a striking sense of place. Native artisans collaborated closely with Meersseman and her team to create site-specific pieces, using ancestral methods that celebrate and preserve these cultural traditions. The result is a resort aesthetic that is not only visually stunning but also a living tribute to the artistic legacy of Riviera Nayarit. The Pinnacle of Coastal Luxury Accommodations One of Rosewood Mandarina’s most distinctive features is its accommodations, thoughtfully designed to connect guests with the local environment, culture, and heritage. Embracing the region’s ecological diversity, the resort’s suites immerse guests in a landscape where white-sand beaches, coastal estuaries, mountainous terrain, and agrarian flatlands converge. Each suite category reflects and harmonizes with its environment: Cliffside retreats are positioned to take advantage of the panoramic ocean vistas; beachfront sanctuaries offer the rare privilege of direct access to the Pacific Ocean and Canalan beach; and tranquil accommodations set within the resort’s flatlands include sun-drenched outdoor spaces with views of the entire landscape. This close integration with nature creates an intimate experience that honors the Indigenous roots and untamed beauty of Nayarit while providing the utmost in comfort. Every accommodation features generously sized private plunge pools, expansive terraces, and bespoke design elements crafted in collaboration with local artists and artisans, ensuring a deep Sense of Place®. For the ultimate in luxury, Rosewood Mandarina’s two standalone villas redefine resort living. The Canalan Beachfront Villa, positioned directly on the sand just steps from the shore, offers unrivaled immersion into Pacific coastal beauty. Spanning two floors, this exclusive retreat includes two king bedrooms, a full kitchen, elegant indoor dining and living spaces, a private gym, a media room, a jacuzzi, an indoor garden, a deep soaking tub, and an outdoor rain shower. Meanwhile, the Cora Mountaintop Villa commands breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and ocean from the most rarefied vantage point at Rosewood Mandarina; its 13,000 square feet of space blends grandeur with understated sophistication and features four bedrooms, a media room, a private gym, and a private infinity lap pool that flows out over the cliffside. Both villas feature open-air living areas designed to maximize natural light and uninterrupted vistas, culminating in dramatic infinity pools that blend subtly into the landscape. A Celebration of Culinary Tradition & Innovation Rooted in the bounty of Riviera Nayarit, Rosewood Mandarina’s culinary program honors heritage, craftsmanship, and seasonality. Each dining experience is guided by a commitment to fresh, locally sourced ingredients and ancestral cooking techniques. Whether savoring the rustic pleasures of a traditional Mexican kitchen or the refined artistry of a Japanese irori, every meal is a celebration of place and palate. "Rosewood Mandarina embodies our vision: crafting authentic luxury, from its atmosphere to its offerings. The property's design immerses guests in Mexico's heritage while providing world-class amenities and experiences," stated Luis Durán, Chief Executive Officer at RLH Properties. "We're excited for global travelers to explore culinary journeys at La Cocina Mandarina with its traditional Mexican cuisine, curated wellness at Asaya Spa for rejuvenation, and existing Mandarina amenities including the Mandarina Golf Club and state-of-the-art Mandarina Polo & Equestrian Club." La Cocina: The Soul of Mexican Cuisine Set directly on the beach, La Cocina offers elevated dining inspired by the soulful traditions of the Mexican kitchen. Mornings begin with handmade tortillas cooked on the wood-fired comal, locally sourced tropical fruit, and freshly brewed regional coffee and chocolate. By midday, the open-air dining room becomes a lively taqueria and the menu showcases tacos, grilled fish, aguachiles, and ceviches, embracing bold flavors and ocean-fresh ingredients. As evening falls, fresh-caught seafood is cooked over a wood-fired grill in the local zarandeado style, alongside elevated Mexican classics served under star-filled skies. Toppu: Refined Japanese Cuisine on a Mountain Peak Bridging the shared traditions of Mexican and Japanese cuisine, Toppu, the resort’s signature dining experience, draws inspiration from izakaya and robatayaki traditions. Suspended above the valley floor with sweeping ocean views, the restaurant is a masterclass in precision and flavor, featuring an exposed irori (sunken charcoal grill) and yakitori grill, a tempura bar, and a specialty sushi and cold counter. Dayboat-harvested seafood and locally sourced meats and produce take center stage, highlighting the synergy between method and product. The beverage menu draws inspiration from the landscapes that converge at Mandarina—ocean, flatlands, and jungle—blending the bold flavors of Mexico with the rigor of Japanese mixology. “At Rosewood Mandarina, our guests will feel deeply connected to the rich Riviera Nayarit region,” said Managing Director, Juan Carlos Cardona Aquino. “We are bringing an innovative set of offerings to the destination that provide unfettered access to a wide array of experiences and landscapes.” Barra Peñasco: A Hidden Oasis of Mixology Perched dramatically on a hidden cliff above the roaring Pacific and nestled among ancient Higuera Blanca trees, Barra Peñasco offers a spiritual and immersive cocktail experience rooted in shamanic traditions and elemental mixology. Inspired by the elements of water, earth, air, and fire, the bar program blends ancestral botanicals, local spirits and ingredients, and contemporary techniques to create a sensory journey unlike any other. This intimate, open-air speakeasy welcomes guests from sunset to the early morning hours. Buena Onda: Good Vibes on the Beach A welcoming respite set at the base of the mountain, just beside the main pool area, Buena Onda is a relaxing retreat for refreshing drinks and coastal Spanish fare. Set on the beach just above the crashing waves, it serves an affable menu of classic cocktails, sangrias, and chilled wines and beers, accompanied by tapas, simply grilled seafood, meats, and vegetables, and classic Iberian dishes. Lively and laid back, Buena Onda is open from late morning until the sun goes down. Wellness in Harmony with Nature Rooted in the belief system of the Huichol people, Rosewood Mandarina’s holistic wellness philosophy embraces the idea that the body, mind, and spirit are in constant need of renewal and self-discovery—an ethos embodied in Asaya Spa. With a pair of ancient parotta trees at its center, the square-shaped layout mirrors the energy of this sacred species, long revered for its healing properties—guiding guests through curated wellness journeys that foster connection, restoration, and exploration. At the heart of Asaya Spa are treatments inspired by healing rituals passed down through generations of the region’s Indigenous communities. Among them is the Mara’akame Journey, a massage created to honor the Huichol pilgrimage for spiritual enlightenment and designed to induce deep rest and heighten dream awareness. Another signature experience adopts tobacco, used by the Huichol as a natural remedy and known for its detoxifying and hydrating properties, incorporating a tobacco-infused compress to replenish and restore the skin. One of Asaya Spa’s most distinctive offerings is its family-focused wellness experiences, inviting guests of all ages to engage in meaningful self-care. Designed to strengthen bonds and instill the importance of well-being, these programs blend fun and mindfulness through activities tailored for families. Beyond the spa, guests can extend their wellness journey into the natural beauty of Mandarina and Riviera Nayarit, whether through invigorating pursuits like pickleball and surfing or peaceful practices such as outdoor yoga and spiritual hikes to the ancient La Abuela tree, a site held as sacred for centuries. Immersive Adventures in Riviera Nayarit Rosewood Mandarina offers bespoke experiences designed to introduce guests to the rich landscapes, culture, and traditions of Riviera Nayarit. On-property adventures include an exhilarating ziplining journey and ropes course through the jungle canopy. Equestrian culture is woven into the fabric of Riviera Nayarit, and Rosewood Mandarina celebrates this sport through exclusive access to the Mandarina Polo & Equestrian Club. Guests can watch world-class polo matches, take private lessons, or try their hand at the sport themselves. For those seeking a deeper connection with nature, guided horseback excursions offer a breathtaking journey from rainforest trails to the ocean’s edge. The club is also planning a therapeutic equine program, harnessing the healing energy of horses to foster balance, growth, and self-discovery. The Mandarina Golf Club features a signature golf course designed by the legendary player and designer Greg Norman. The 9-hole short course, plus an additional “challenge” hole for a thrilling conclusion, presents a new style of leisure and entertainment within the sprawling green landscape of the flatlands, overlooking the Sierra de Vallejo mountain range. The experience concierge also curates tailored excursions for guests beyond the resort, from exploring the bohemian markets of Sayulita and San Pancho to discovering the secluded beaches of the Marietas Islands. Enriching Children’s Experiences Rosewood Mandarina redefines family-friendly luxury with the Explorers Club, a curriculum-based program designed to immerse children in nature, culture, and adventure. Inspired by The Journey of Tunuri and the Blue Deer—a Huichol teaching tale that celebrates stewardship and discovery—the Explorers Club offers a thoughtfully curated experience that blends education with exploration. From the moment children step into space, they embark on an interactive journey designed to deepen their connection to the natural world. Hands-on activities include nature hikes, water adventures, fossil searches, sustainability workshops, and cultural field trips, all crafted to engage young minds while fostering curiosity and environmental awareness. A Commitment to Community & Conservation Rooted in Rosewood Hotels & Resorts' philosophy that hospitality should create a meaningful impact, Rosewood Mandarina blends thoughtful luxury with social and environmental responsibility. The resort is dedicated to both cultural preservation and ecological stewardship, embracing sustainability in every aspect of its operations. As an active community partner, Rosewood Mandarina collaborates with local and national organizations to support eco-friendly initiatives that safeguard the region’s biodiverse landscapes, from lush estuaries and dense jungles to pristine coastline. These environments are home to rare and extraordinary wildlife, including the endearing coati and the American crocodile, whose presence enriches the Mandarina story and offers a deeper connection to nature for guests. Guests are invited to participate in experiential activities that give back while enhancing their stay. Opportunities include art workshops led by native artisans, spiritually focused nature experiences, and hands-on community-building and recycling initiatives that support underserved populations. These immersive programs ensure that Rosewood Mandarina is a place where luxury and legacy converge, fostering a positive impact on both people and planet. ML Staff. Courtesy of Rosewood Hotel Group

The exhibition features a series of never-before-seen works created after Parlá's recovery, alongside a site-specific mural painted live at the museum over a weekend in late October 2024. The museum gallery has been transformed into a recreation of Parlá's Brooklyn studio—complete with paint-splattered tables, an eclectic vinyl record collection of Cuban-inspired music, and decades of the artist's personal memorabilia. Through his unique mark-making process, characterized by movement and bodily gestures, Parlá produces works that challenge conventional visual culture through addition, erasure, and layering. ABOUT JOSÉ PARLÁ José Parlá (b.1973) creates paintings and multidisciplinary works based on his interest in hybrid forms of abstraction. He draws inspiration from various mediums including music, calligraphy, dance, and the decay of urban architecture and advertisements. His works poetically challenge ideas about language, politics, identity, and how we define places and spaces. Parlá's relationship with mark-making is physical and textural, incorporating the body's gestures into a painterly stream of consciousness. Solo exhibitions of Parlá's work have been organized at institutions such as The Bronx Museum, New York; Gana Art Center, Seoul; Istanbul'74, Istanbul; Hong Kong Contemporary Art Foundation; Neuberger Museum of Art, New York; SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah; Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York; and the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, among others.

There’s something about Miami that makes it different from other cities. It became synonymous with the boldness of the ‘80s and ‘90s, with its bright streets and wild energy. Every time it shows up in a movie or TV show, it changes the mood—things feel louder, brighter, and a little more intense. Miami became a big deal in pop culture and gave filmmakers and artists something special: a place that wasn’t just real, but full of attitude and excitement. Miami made boldness look easy, and that’s what made it unforgettable. In this article, we’ll look at how Miami turned into one of pop culture’s most unforgettable settings. The Golden Age of Miami in Film Back in the ‘80s and ‘90s, Miami became more than just a beach city—it turned into a whole mood in pop culture. Its bright colors, warm nights, and wild energy made it the perfect setting for bold, unforgettable stories on screen. Here are three films that helped shape Miami’s place in movie history: Scarface (1983) When people think of Miami in movies, Scarface is usually the first that comes up. It wasn’t just a crime film—it showed Miami as a place of big dreams, danger, and power. And Al Pacino’s Tony Montana didn’t just live in the city; he ruled it with flashy cars, wild parties, and over-the-top ambition. The film gave Miami a gritty, unforgettable edge. Miami Vice (TV 1984–1990, Film 2006) Miami Vice made Miami look extra cool by turning the city into a style icon with its pastel suits and neon nights. Catching criminals wasn’t the only focus; the show also highlighted smooth moves, fast cars, and that relaxed luxury that only Miami could offer. Bad Boys (1995) Bad Boys brought high-speed chases, loud action, and plenty of humor. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence made the chaos feel fun, and Miami’s streets were right there in the middle of it all. The city added charm, heat, and just the right amount of attitude. Miami’s Influence in Digital Gaming Miami also found a home in video games with its bold style, colorful streets, and wild vibe. These all turned Miami into the perfect setting for some of the most memorable games out there. These games captured everything people love about Miami and made it interactive, including driving through neon-lit streets or getting lost in the chaos. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002) This nostalgic and widely known sixth entry in the GTA series captured the essence of 1980s Miami like nothing else. The game is a love letter to the decade, blending vintage cars and that unforgettable ‘80s soundtrack. Besides the missions and chaos, you could jump in a sports car, play some ‘80s music, and just drive around, enjoying the vibe. The city felt alive, and players couldn’t get enough of it. Hotline Miami (2012) A totally different take, Hotline Miami dives into an even darker version of Miami—one that is fast, intense, a bit surreal, and filled with danger, mystery, and nonstop action. The colors are loud, the music is wild, and the whole thing feels like a dream (or a nightmare). It showed a raw, gritty side of the city that looked unmistakably cool. Scarface: The World Is Yours (2006) Scarface: The World Is Yours is based on the movie and lets you play as Tony Montana and rebuild your empire in Miami. It’s full of flashy cars, big mansions, and loud action. The game took the vibe of the film and gave players a chance to live it out. It’s Miami at its most intense—loud, bold, and totally over the top. Miami-Themed Online Slots Miami’s unmistakable energy has even made its way into online slot games. With all that flash, fun, and wildness, it makes sense that Miami’s tropical vibe would show up in these games too. These Miami-inspired games capture that high-energy vibe, with visuals that take you right into the heart of the city. The ‘80s nostalgia and modern-day Miami heat are all packed into each spin, transporting you into a world of bright colors and non-stop action. What’s even better? Many platforms let you receive a number of free coins to try out these Miami-inspired games. It’s a fun, low-pressure way to feel the city’s wild energy and jump into the action without spending real money. The Role of Music and Aesthetic in Building a Mood Music plays a big part in how we feel Miami, even if we’re just watching it on a screen or playing it in a game. The city’s got a sound—hip hop, reggaeton, synth-pop—that instantly puts you in the mood. Songs like “Welcome to Miami” by Will Smith or those smooth ‘80s tracks from Miami Vice help set the scene. Mix that with the city’s vibrant streets, the energy of its nightlife, and that tropical warmth, and suddenly Miami is a whole vibe. That’s why movies and games use it so much. Miami’s Rise as a Pop Culture Icon Miami’s always been a top spot for tourists, with its sunny beaches, vibrant culture, and natural beauty. But what really makes it stand out from other cities is the way it’s been captured in movies and video games. Films and games turned Miami into something bigger than life. Even if you’ve never been there, you probably feel like you know the place. Those iconic scenes—bright streets, wild parties, the whole vibe—become a part of how you picture the city. As you read this, ask yourself: has Miami become a part of you too? Whether you’ve visited the city, played a game set there, or simply seen it on screen, Miami’s energy is unforgettable. It’s that same energy that might be calling you to explore it—or return to it—one day. By ML staff. Image courtesy of Pexels.

The Colombian actress opens up about her role in Shondaland’s new mystery series, the impact of Griselda , and how she’s taking control of her career—both in front of and behind the camera. Julieth Restrepo is no stranger to playing compelling, multi-dimensional characters, and her latest role in Shondaland’s highly anticipated series The Residence is no exception. Best known for her performances in Griselda and Loving Pablo , the Colombian actress has captivated audiences with her ability to bring depth and authenticity to every role she takes on. In The Residence , Restrepo steps into the world of the White House as Elsyie Chayle, a character whose responsibilities are as intriguing as the mystery that unfolds within the series. With a mix of humor, suspense, and unexpected twists, The Residence promises to be a fresh take on the political drama genre, and Restrepo couldn’t be more excited for audiences to experience it. Beyond acting, Restrepo is also making waves as a producer with her own company, Blue Rabbit Films, using her platform to create stories that matter. In this interview, she opens up about her journey in Hollywood, the impact of Griselda on her career, and what draws her to complex narratives. She also shares a glimpse into her personal life, revealing the unexpected lessons she’s learned along the way and what’s next on her horizon. Miami Living: What drew you to the role of Elsyie Chayle in Shondaland’s upcoming series The Residence ? Julieth Restrepo: Elsyie brings so much humanity to the story and her role in the White House comes with a lot of responsibility. As soon as I received the material for the audition I knew I wanted to play the complexity and subtlety that comes with her. Miami Living: Without giving away spoilers, what can audiences expect from this high-stakes mystery series? Julieth Restrepo: I’m sure they are going to be really entertained and are going to see the White House in a way they’ve never seen before. Expect a lot of laughs, twists, tension and a smart story that is going to make you feel like you are the detective and you are about to solve the mystery… and you might. Especially with Uzo Aduba as Cordelia Cupp. She is awesome. Miami Living: How did you prepare for the role of Elsyie? What would you say is the most interesting aspect of her character? Julieth Restrepo: Paul William Davies wrote Elsyie in a way that you like her immediately but there’s also an aspect of mystery about her past and her life that makes her journey on the series very interesting. She’s a hardworking woman and loves what she does so it was very easy to connect with that. And as a mom, myself, I completely relate to the relationship she has with her daughter and how much she wants to be an example for her. Miami Living: Your role as Marta Ochoa in Griselda was widely recognized. How has the success of the series impacted your career? Julieth Restrepo: It’s made a huge impact, especially here in the States. I moved to LA to open new doors and Griselda has done that for me. It put me in the spotlight and introduced me to this market. It gave me a lot of exposure and allowed people to see what I can bring to the table as an actress and the variety of roles I can play. Miami Living: Both Griselda and Loving Pablo , explore stories set in the world of crime and power, even The Residence touches on this theme a bit too. What draws you to these types of narratives? Julieth Restrepo: Being part of those projects goes beyond the theme and more about the complexity underneath those worlds. I’m always in the pursuit of great scripts, special projects and passionate people to work with, so I auditioned for them because I want to keep learning about the way we as human beings connect and relate to each other. I got very lucky to be part of stories that gave me some understanding about our history. And it has felt like a good balance doing these projects while I was working on completely different narratives like Deadland, Switch Up or Dear Gentlemen. Miami Living: In addition to acting, you also run your own production company, Blue Rabbit Films. What inspired you to start producing? Julieth Restrepo: I always had this curiosity for producing because I wanted to have some control over my career. I’ve been taking notes on the things I would like to change in our business so it was very exciting to think about the possibility of not waiting around but instead creating my own opportunities. I love that producing and acting, at least for me, complement each other. Miami Living: With The Residence recently premiering, what’s next for you? Any upcoming projects you’re excited about? Julieth Restrepo: I’ll be traveling with Rodrigo Branquias , a short film I produced last year and now it’s going to different festivals around the world. I’m currently developing a TV series where I play one of the leads and I’m pitching a feature film that I also co-wrote. So, I have a busy and exciting year ahead. Miami Living: What’s something fans might be surprised to learn about you? Julieth Restrepo: I learned how to ride a bike when I was 27 years old. So, I confirmed it’s never too late to learn something new and we are capable of anything we set our minds to. Miami Living: Miami has been the backdrop for many iconic films and TV series, including Griselda . What do you think makes the city such a compelling setting for storytelling? Julieth Restrepo: The inclusion and diversity that comes with Miami is wonderful. The community and the beauty of the city make it so attractive that once you visit Miami you feel connected to it and you can see that in every show or film that takes place in the city. It’s vibrant and its contrasts capture you immediately. Miami Living: Your role in Griselda was tied to Miami’s history. Did learning about the city’s past change your perspective on its culture and influence? Julieth Restrepo: The city has evolved so much and the resilience from its people really stands out. After learning a little bit about what the city has gone through it’s really inspiring seeing how Miami has recovered and continued growing. It’s more clear for me now how much it has contributed to this country and to the Latino community in the world. You can watch The Residence now on Netflix.

Background stories place each model in the historical and cultural context in which it was born, offering a broader understanding of the evolution of the modern mechanical watch. REVOLUTIONISING FEMININE WATCHMAKING FOR 100 YEARS The 10 watches offered in the fourth capsule collection are all fitted with a Duoplan movement. Invented and patented in 1925, the Duoplan movement enabled an unprecedented degree of miniaturisation, answering the watchmaking conundrum that reducing the size of components almost invariably comes at the cost of robustness and reliability. LeCoultre’s solution was a rectangular movement with a two-level architecture, enabling larger components to be housed in a smaller space. This had a very significant impact on the design of women’s watches in particular. The Duoplan family of movements comprised four calibres, including Calibre 101, introduced in 1929 and today the oldest calibre still in production. Initially supplied to watchmakers and jewellers to power their watches, the Duoplan opened new creative horizons and quickly became a core line under the Manufacture’s own name. By 1931 – when Cesar de Trey and Jacques-David LeCoultre founded Spécialités Horlogères SA to commercialise Jaeger and LeCoultre’s products – LeCoultre & Cie had been collaborating with the Paris-based firm of Edmond Jaeger for almost three decades. Featuring Duoplan and Reverso models, the 1934 edition of the Spécialités Horlogères catalogue was the first catalogue to feature products created under this collaboration and so, although the two firms did not merge until 1937, it could be said to be the first “Jaeger-LeCoultre” catalogue. Depending on where a watch was distributed, the dial was signed either Duoplan, LeCoultre or Jaeger – and sometimes Duoplan together with one of the two names. Imitating the distinctive two plan architecture of the calibre, the lettering of the Duoplan logo itself is arranged on two levels. The fourth capsule collection of The Collectibles shines a spotlight on Jaeger-LeCoultre’s rich heritage in watchmaking for women. Since its earliest days, the Manufacture combined its commitment to technical sophistication and miniaturisation of components with an exploration of new aesthetics and different ways of wearing the time. One of its first wristwatches, created in 1865, was a woman’s wristwatch set with diamonds and rubies. Sixty years later, the Duoplan was to have a significant impact on the future of the Manufacture and what was to become the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand, as well as influencing the way women wore watches. Combining function and advanced mechanics with sophisticated design, a Duoplan watch was a fashion statement as much as a timekeeping instrument. Their lightness and ease of wearing were perfectly in tune with the spirit of feminine emancipation from the 1920s onwards. A CENTURY OF DUOPLAN: CELEBRATING 100 YEARS OF MINIATURE MASTERY The timepieces selected in the fourth capsule collection are ranging from diamond-set Art Deco cocktail watches to design-forward pieces from the 1940s and ’50s. Among these boldly styled pieces is a Duoplan Tubogas secret watch in 18K (750/100) yellow gold from c.1950, its distinctive geometry defined by strong vertical and horizontal ribs, and, from c. 1941, a Duoplan Chaine set on a bracelet of broad, yellow gold links. Clearly demonstrating the shift in tastes over the decades of the mid-20th century, a 1960 High Jewellery secret watch is set into a white gold bracelet of diamonds and sapphires set in rivière style, and fitted with Calibre 101, the smallest movement in the Duoplan family. Also on offer is a rarely seen version of the Duoplan Tuile collection, named after the convex dial glass reminiscent of the tunnel-shaped roof tiles used on traditional Mediterranean houses. This 1939 model features a rectangular case and dial set at 90 degrees, rather than vertically across the wrist. The horizontally mounted case also features on a steel 1930s Duoplan Driver with white numerals and hands on a black dial. Named for its angled case, which allowed drivers to read the time without removing their hands from the steering wheel, the ‘Driver’ is a fine example of a Duoplan model designed with functionality in mind. FULLY AUTHENTICATED AND IMMACULATELY RESTORED Every piece offered for sale through The Collectibles is thoroughly vetted by Jaeger-LeCoultre’s historical experts and fully serviced and restored by the specialised watchmakers of the Manufacture’s restoration workshop. Currently numbering 10 restoration watchmakers, the restoration workshop’s team has access to archives containing the blueprint of every piece ever made, as well as original spare parts in some cases. If there no component is available, the watchmaker can make an identical component from scratch, using one of the thousands original swages or stamps. Because the Manufacture is fully integrated, the entire process can be carried out in-house. While some pieces may require significant mechanical restoration, the intervention on the case and dial must be kept to a minimum, since too much work would alter the historical nature of the piece for collectors; therefore, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s acquisitions team seeks watches that are as close as possible to their original condition. Every timepiece offered under The Collectibles programme is presented with an extract from the Jaeger-LeCoultre archives and a complimentary The Collectibles book, as well as a new leather strap chosen to complement the style of each watch, except in cases where the model has an integrated metal bracelet. In addition, when available, the original box and papers, and original strap or bracelet will be included. The fourth capsule collection of The Collectibles will be launched in Paris on June 13th, 2025. The collection will be presented, along The Collectibles book, at the Jaeger-LeCoultre boutique at 7 Place Vendôme, from June 13th to July 27th, 2025. The timepieces will be available to purchase through jaeger-lecoultre.com, by appointment at the boutique HERE, as well as during the Paris presentation. ML Staff. Courtesy of Jaeger‑LeCoultre

As fall rolls in, outdoor living spaces beg for a little refresh. The change of season provides the perfect opportunity to create a space that feels cozy, functional, and welcoming. From warm lighting to seasonal accents, these updates do not require an expert designer or a big budget. Small touches can make all the difference in creating an autumnal atmosphere. Whether you are hosting or relaxing solo, tailored choices enhance the experience. Keep reading for simple yet creative ideas anyone can implement this season to transform your patio or garden into a space that captures the crisp essence of fall. 1. Add Seasonal Flair with Autumn Container Gardening    Enhancing your outdoor space for fall starts with the right plants. Incorporating autumnal colors through container gardening allows flexibility and visual appeal. Vibrant mums, ornamental kale, or trailing ivy in earthy-toned pots provide a warm seasonal touch. Placing these containers near seating areas or along pathways creates inviting focal points without requiring permanent landscaping changes. Select varying heights and textures for added depth, making even small patios feel dynamic. Opt for weather-resistant planters to withstand fluctuating temperatures, ensuring they last through the season. Pair them with natural accents like pumpkins or dried branches to tie everything together effortlessly. It is an easy way to embrace fall while keeping your outdoor area fresh and functional. 1. Illuminate Your Space with Versatile Lighting    While seasonal plants add warmth and charm, lighting completes the ambiance for crisp autumn evenings. Strategic outdoor lighting transforms your patio or garden into a cozy retreat, perfect for relaxing as the days grow shorter.    Use string lights to outline pergolas or trees for a soft, inviting glow. Solar-powered lanterns work well along pathways, adding functionality and style without wiring hassles. Adjustable fixtures allow you to highlight key features like container gardening displays or decorative accents placed around seating areas.    Warm-toned LED bulbs create an intimate atmosphere while remaining energy-efficient for extended use during fall nights.   1. Cozy Up with Weather-Resistant Textiles     Thoughtful lighting sets the mood, but comfortable textiles make outdoor spaces truly inviting. Swap out summer fabrics for weather-resistant throws, pillows, and rugs in warm tones like rust, mustard, or deep green. These add both practicality and seasonal charm.    Layering blankets over seating areas allows guests to stay cozy on chilly fall nights while adding texture to the space. Use outdoor-safe cushions made from durable materials that resist moisture or fading to ensure they withstand the elements.  Choose patterned rugs designed for exterior use to define seating zones and tie together your autumn decor effortlessly. Combining comfort with functionality transforms patios into a space where everyone wants to linger longer this season.    1. Enhance the Atmosphere with Fragrant Fall Blooms    Fragrant flowers elevate your outdoor space into a sensory haven. Scented blooms like autumn-blooming roses, sweet alyssum, or lavender not only provide color but also create an aromatic experience that complements crisp fall air.   Position these plants in container gardening arrangements near seating areas for bursts of fragrance as guests gather. Pair them with earthy-smelling herbs like rosemary or thyme to add variety and dimension. Select late-season perennials to keep the space vibrant throughout fall while minimizing upkeep demands.  The combination of soothing scents and seasonal visuals creates a welcoming atmosphere ideal for quiet evenings or lively gatherings outdoors during cooler months. 1. Artistic Seating Arrangements     To complete your fall outdoor refresh, focus on seating that blends comfort and style. Choosing artistic arrangements adds a finishing touch to the space while providing a practical function for guests.    Mix in unique pieces like vintage-inspired ironwork or Adirondack chairs painted in warm autumn hues. Layer seating with textured cushions and throws to tie in seasonal colors used elsewhere, creating cohesion throughout your design. Placing seats strategically near lighting displays, container gardening highlights, or fire pits encourages interaction while showcasing the space's focal points. Thoughtful choices turn any patio into a polished yet cozy retreat perfect for enjoying fall evenings outdoors.    Final Touches for a Memorable Fall    Refreshing outdoor living spaces for fall goes beyond aesthetics—it is about creating a welcoming, functional area that feels connected to the season. Whether through fragrant blooms, warm lighting, or weather-resistant textiles, each choice enhances both style and comfort.    With the thoughtful additions mentioned in this guide, your patio or garden will become an inviting extension of your home—a perfect spot to savor crisp autumn days and cozy evenings with family and friends.   By ML staff.

Golfers took a swing for a promise at the Lymphoma Research Foundation's Second Annual South Florida Golf Invitational on May 5. Supporters put their golf skills to the test at the iconic La Gorce Country Club, one of the most exclusive private golf clubs in the United States, designed by Jack Nicklaus, while being a catalyst in finding cures.  The annual event raised over $410,000 towards fulfilling Lymphoma Research Foundation’s mission to realize the promise of science to eradicate lymphoma and serve the community touched by this disease. The Lymphoma Research Foundation is the nation’s largest nonprofit organization devoted exclusively to funding lymphoma research and supporting the lymphoma community through evidence-based education, support services and resources. Proceeds support the Foundation’s partners who save lives every day by powering breakthroughs in research that cure blood cancers and directly support cancer patients in need. With just 72 participants, the exclusive tournament highlights the Foundation’s strong donor base and offered players a unique, intimate experience. The event kicked off with breakfast, while players warmed up on the driving range. The shamble-style tournament commenced with a shotgun start. Golfers enjoyed lunch, an open bar and a hole-in-one challenge to win a Cadillac Escalade generously donated by Murgado Automotive Group. After the final hole was played, players gathered in the La Gorce clubhouse for a networking cocktail reception and enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres and the event’s signature cocktail, “Passion for a Change.” The evening continued in the ballroom for the awards ceremony and an impressive culinary spread, including fresh sushi, a carving station, assorted pastries and a build-your-own sundae station. Guests listened to guest speakers, including Dr. John Leonard, member of the Lymphoma Research Foundation’s Board of Directors and past Chair of the Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Board and Dr. Adrienne Moul, lymphoma survivor and longtime supporter of the Foundation.  “We are deeply grateful to everyone who ‘putted for a purpose’ at our Second Annual South Florida Golf Invitational at the stunning La Gorce County Club,” said Meghan Gutierrez, the CEO of the Lymphoma Research Foundation. “Every five minutes, someone in the United States is diagnosed with lymphoma. This fun and meaningful day on the green wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of our co-chairs Leigh and Cory Olson, our committee, board members, sponsors and donors who share our commitment to advancing science, eradicating lymphoma and supporting the community affected by this disease.” Lymphoma is the most common blood cancer in adults, the most common cancer type for adolescents and young adults and the third most common cancer overall among children. More than one million people in the country are living with, or in remission from, lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).  Co-chaired by Leigh and Cory Olson, the Second Annual South Florida Golf Invitational honored Walter J.

The Hollywood Art and Culture Center (The Center), celebrating its 50th anniversary, will be assuming operations of the 72-seat art house movie theater Cinema Paradiso located at 2008 Hollywood Blvd. This new endeavor is part of The Center’s strategic plan to establish programs for emerging and established local filmmakers, and offer workshops for film, sound design, editing, music production, animation and motion design.   “In the arts, nothing remains the same. Creativity has no bounds and artists are constantly evolving and reimagining everything around them,” said Jennifer Homan, executive director of the Hollywood Art and Culture Center. “Adding Cinema Paradiso is a bridge to expand our reach and presence in South Florida as a 50-year-old cultural institution that showcases all visual and performing arts.”   Cinema Paradiso will serve as The Center’s dedicated theater for screenings of first run, arthouse and independent films. The addition of the movie theater is aligned with the anticipated opening of the Arts Education Center scheduled for this October.   The Center is no stranger to film as the producer of the award-winning Open Dialogues documentary film short series which debuted in 2020. Films such as Queer Allies and Black Voices | Black Stories received regional Emmys in back-to-back years, both winning Telly Awards among other laurels. Gen QueerZ was selected by both the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International and Miami Film Festivals and accepted into the South Florida PBS filmmaker project, paving the way for visionary director Freddy Rodriguez and Center Producer Jeff Rusnak to potentially win their third Emmy.  Jeff Rusnak and Freddy Rodriguez receive Emmy Awards “As an organization celebrating our golden anniversary and looking to the future, we will continue to evolve and reimagine all that we do,’’ said Tim Curtin, chair of the Hollywood Art and Culture Center’s board of directors. “It is part of our own cultural renaissance which will be a wonderful gift to the community with the ability to deliver diverse programming, classes and workshops.”   Cinema Paradiso was previously managed and operated by The Broward County Film Society which produces the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival, which will continue to operate Savor Cinema in Fort Lauderdale. The organization has generously extended their expertise and continued assistance throughout the transition.   “Over the past decade, we have been proud of the programming we have presented at Cinema Paradiso and are thrilled to pass the baton to the Hollywood Art and Culture Center as they celebrate their 50th anniversary, cultivating art and cultural engagements in downtown Hollywood,” said Lisa Grigorian, president/CEO of the Broward County Film Society.   The Broward County Film Society and Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival member benefits will remain intact for the next year. The Center will continue its collaboration with the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival and other film groups while defining and expanding new partnerships.   Under the new management, Cinema Paradiso will be one of 1,500 nationwide cinemas to premiere Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme, a dark tale of espionage following a strained father-daughter relationship within a family business. A screening and premiere reception is set for June 6.   About Hollywood Art and Culture Center Founded in 1975, the Hollywood Art and Culture Center is a respected nonprofit organization dedicated to showcasing the arts for all ages. Year-round programming, which includes exhibitions, Broadway and summer camps, live theatre, education, documentary films and more, contributes to its continued success as a leading cultural institution that strives to improve connection, communication and well-being through art and cultural experiences.
