A Life Less Exhausting
By Norbert Ruecker Storm clouds have appeared from various directions. The auto business is finding itself in difficult to navigate waters. Following the rhetoric of some of the established European automakers, electric cars are no longer flying off the shelves and sales are underwhelming compared to expectations. The bottlenecks in the supply chains have disappeared and instead the focus has turned to bloated inventories at dealerships. Plug-in autos, with a partially- or fully-electric dri...

Alberto Repossi
Since 1920, jewelry has been a family legacy for the Repossi's. It all began when Alberto Repossi's grandfather opened the first High Jewelry factory in Piedmont, northern Italy. In 1978, Alberto Repossi, along with his wife Gio' Giove Repossi, inaugurated their first store in Monaco, followed by another in Paris' Place Vendome in 1986. By 1994, Repossi became the "Official Supplier of H.S.H. the Sovereign Prince of Monaco." His exquisite creations have adorned royal families and celebrities, including Princess Diana's engagement ring offered by Dodi Al Fayed in 1997, and the engagement ring for H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco's future wife, Princess Charlene of Monaco.

Troubled Waters
EVERY DAY YOU COME IN CONTACT WITH WATER from the early morning until late at night. You will find it in the shower; at breakfast you will drink it as milk, orange juice or coffee. Outside you see it as clouds in the sky, dew, rain, snow, fog or in the ponds, rivers, lakes and oceans. Flowing waters, such as rivers, oceans and waterfalls, are known to bring us a sense of wellbeing. Waterfalls have the highest negative ion content in nature, they help to increase our energy and h...

Appreciating Taste
IN THE EARLY 1930s, Zurich, a city teetering on the brink of metamorphosis, sets the stage for our tale. At the city’s pulsating heart, a young man of 22, recently bequeathed with a substantial fortune, found himself standing at life’s crossroads. Rather than embarking on a journey of reckless expenditure, he chose to make a singular, grand investment—a Bentley. A decision that, on the surface, appeared as a flamboyant exhibition of wealth, inciting murmurs of a squandered inheritance. Yet, bene...

I THOROUGHLY take pleasure in the art of eating in good company and tend to be more enticed by mouthwatering conversation than what’s on the plate in front of me. A lunch at La Pêcherie U Luvassu, at 8 Quai l’Hirondelle, was an exception. It began with the fi rst mouthful of bluefin tuna tartar. It happened again with the bluefin tuna rillettes and yet again with the sea bream royale raw sashimi. Next to me Sami Ben Slama, who runs the restaurant’s day-to-day operations was grin...
