Watchmakers Are Catching Up to Cartier’s Small-Case Instincts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For much of the past two decades, luxury watches seemed to move in only one direction: bigger. Cases stretched past 40 millimeters and sports watches grew increasingly imposing as brands built entire identities around watches designed to announce themselves from across the room.

Dario Amodei Wants to Pace A.I. The Industry Needs to Pace Its Release. (opens the original)

At Restaurant St. Barts, Johnnie Crowe Celebrates Britain’s Culinary Bounty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s a warm summer day in late July in London, and the bounty of the British Isles is on display at Restaurant St. Barts. A rich bite of raw Belted Galloway beef on toast; a pot of English peas on a Japanese-inspired chawanmushi custard; slices of St. Bride’s duck served with a sunflower satay sauce and chunks of Cornish lobster tail laced with sansho pepper.
