Tonino Lamborghini Timepieces and BeauGeste Luxury Brands

Tonino Lamborghini Timepieces and BeauGeste Luxury Brands the Brand’s exclusive agent in the USA will participate in the next edition of Couture in Las Vegas from August 24-26, 2021. Held annually at the luxurious Wynn Resort, the Couture Show is one of the leading trade shows specializing in designer fine jewelry and luxury timepieces. In addition, BeauGeste Luxury Brands will exhibit Tonino Lamborghini watches in the “Krug” ballroom and showcase the entire collection to America’s elite top-tier buyers and the most recognized luxury consumer and trade media.

Visitors will have the opportunity to view the newly redesigned Cuscinetto, originally launched in 1983 when Tonino Lamborghini created one of his first watch models taking inspiration from a mechanical element, the ball bearing (in Italian, “cuscinetto”). In addition, this model features a unique bidirectional rotating bezel worthy of the rich engineering tradition of the “Bull brand.”

Thirty-six years later, Tonino’s son, Ferruccio Lamborghini, redesigned the case in titanium with Torx screws and four different colour variations, mounted a new Swiss movement, and inserted a branded deployment buckle. As Tonino donated the first Cuscinetto to his father, so did Ferruccio, thus carrying on the Lamborghini family’s tradition.

Like the Spyderleggero Skeleton, another iconic watch from the brand, this watch is dedicated to the man who is ambitious, determined, and competitive. As with the Spyderleggero Chrono, it conveys the personality of the Italian “Bull brand.” In addition, it summarizes all the unique features of the new branded timepieces: stylistic sophistication, bold design, manufacturing research, light materials, ergonomics, and performance.

The minutes and hours dials recall the image of a sandglass, epitomizing the passage of time because as Latins used to say – “Tempus fugit” (time flies).

Just as the sand flows from one part of the hourglass to the other, in the Spyderleggero Chrono, the future enters the past marking the evolution of the Tonino Lamborghini brand.

Panfilo diving watch: In medieval times, the word “Panfilo” (or panflio, a traditional Greek boat) indicated a warship. The term refers to a motor, sailing, or pleasure boat of big dimensions with comfortable accommodation in modern and contemporary days, also called a yacht or motor yacht in English. Tonino Lamborghini has dedicated its first divers’ watch to oceans enthusiasts, people who love to sail or dive and pursue in water the same challenges and goals they chase on the road.

The slanting numbers and indexes on the unidirectional rotating bezel add dynamism and vitality to this timepiece, allowing a firm and secure grip when submerged in the aquatic World. The design of the titanium “sandwich case” – with original holes in the lugs inspired by the sport car frames and four visible Torx screws – is a clear tribute to the automotive heritage of the Brand.

In five different colour variations, it is also available in a typical blue ocean shade perfect to match with the rubber strap that further recalls the colour of the deep sea. Panfilo is a diver watch with an elegant yet sporty and robust design that mirrors the values of the Tonino Lamborghini brand.

“After one year and a half of pandemic, we are delighted to take part in Couture Las Vegas 2021 thru our exclusive agent BeauGeste, because this exhibition has always been a reference point for the watchmaking industry in this part of the World.

The USA has always been a significant market for our Brand and our timepieces, so it is strategically fundamental for us to participate this year. In addition, since USA clients have always shown much interest in our Brand and products, this market has often driven our choices in terms of design, trends, and proposals. Couture is the first trade show we can finally attend live, so we are eager to present our Swiss-made collection face-to-face to our potential clients. I am very excited about this opportunity and looking forward to receiving feedback for a project that I have personally followed and developed for many months; thus, I hope this Las Vegas appointment will set a new course for Tonino Lamborghini Watches in the United States.” Ferruccio Lamborghini, CEO and VP of Tonino Lamborghini Spa.

According to Thierry Chaunu, Founder & President of BeauGeste Luxury Brands, himself a Cartier and Chopard veteran with 35 years of luxury watch and jewelry expertise, “in the history of watchmaking, it is uncommon when a house with a prestigious engineering heritage and universal renown such as Tonino Lamborghini successfully applies its rich DNA to the particular demands of fine horology, thus upholding the same level of excellence in design and craftsmanship”.

BeauGeste Luxury was founded in 2015 by Thierry Chaunu to promote diamonds, fine diamond jewelry, watches, and other carefully curated high-end luxury goods to select jewelry retailers, VIP private customers, and watch collectors, connoisseurs.

BeauGeste is inspired by the gesture of the artisans: skilled diamond jewelers, pedigreed watchmakers. It is also a tribute to the Gesture of Giving, a time-honored tradition of offering to love one’s products with a soul designed and manufactured to pass from one generation to the next. And, as true luxury is honored again, after years of globalized mass luxury, BeauGeste is the natural place where passionate creators can meet their enlightened patrons.

Champion, makers of authentic athletic apparel since 1919, and Muhammad Ali Enterprises, will be dropping the second, limited-edition capsule in Champion’s Muhammad Ali Collection on August 4.

The pieces have legendary quotes from Ali, including “I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was,” along with Games-inspired brand decals.

Reebok’s Courting Greatness Campaign

Reebok’s “Courting Greatness” AR Tool, Campaign Empowers Players to Create Basketball Courts Anywhere

Local artist installations offer creative inspiration, tipped off in NYC by New York Sunshine Install Team for Question Mid “Iverson Four”

Today, Reebok officially launches “Courting Greatness,” its FW21 basketball campaign empowering youth to create playable basketball spaces where they may not exist. Central to the campaign is a digital tool that utilizes augmented reality to help players map out court features anywhere – on walls, fences, parking lots and alleyways. Throughout the season, to inspire creativity and build awareness around the tool, Reebok will work with local artists in major cities to construct playable basketball art installations, with the first coming from NYC creative collective New York Sunshine Install Team that will honor the upcoming Question Mid “Iverson Four”.

Carrying forward themes from Reebok’s latest film, CrateMaster, which shines light on the grit and creativity of inner city youth, as well as on accessibility issues in urban areas, “Courting Greatness” celebrates players on a local level. Using existing camera and measurement features in mobile phones, the “Courting Greatness” digital tool enables users to map out the exact (or rough) dimensions of a court, be it a free throw line, 10-foot hoop, three-point line or key.

“For kids and teens living in the city, basketball is the pre-eminent sport, but finding space to play can be especially challenging,” said Inga Stenta, Head of U.S. Marketing for Reebok. “We are continuously inspired by athletes who reimagine competition and find alternative ways to play. ‘Courting Greatness’ will help create access for these kids – and players of all levels and walks – whether they have a court or not.”

Demonstrating the tool’s creative potential and how a makeshift court may come to life, Reebok partnered with New York Sunshine Install Team, a contemporary art and fashion collective based in NYC, to create a court using raw, industrial materials, to initiate the campaign. The temporary installation is located at 36 Fifth Avenue in Brooklyn. Local artists in LA, Philly and Atlanta will then be tapped for subsequent installations throughout the FW21 season, each uniquely bringing to life forthcoming Reebok basketball product releases.

Coinciding with the launch of “Courting Greatness” and this year’s summer games, Reebok is set to release its Question Mid “Iverson Four” sneaker inspired by the ’04 national team uniforms worn in Greece, where A.I. adorned jersey number “4”.

Hoopers can visit HERE today to access the augmented reality tool and get to work. The Question Mid “Iverson Four” is available globally in adult and kids unisex sizing from Foot Locker, Finish Line, Champs Sports and Reebok’s website, among other select retailers, beginning July 31.

Rockstar Original DTLA by Kai Yeo for use by 360 Magazine

Rockstar Original – DTLA Headquarters

Inspired by the owners of the brand Frank Mechaly and David Mathey, the philosophy of Rockstar is to always stay-true and remember your roots. Rockstar believes that being genuine means finding the path to both a soulful and aesthetic balance. The unique sense of handcrafted details, the passion for quality and sustainability, and a nose for long-living trends makes Rockstar the ultimate must have for fashionistas worldwide.

Rockstar Original recently moved into their newly refurbished headquarters in Downtown Los Angeles and I was lucky enough to be invited for a tour of the office. Starting with a complimentary Uber Lux ride, we were picked up in a Black Chevrolet Suburban (the whole Beyonce experience!) directly to the Rockstar Original offices; a 20,000 square foot workspace that all of Rockstar’s creative processes happens.

Much like how the brand is very focused on individualistic touches, the workspace features many artworks that are hip and unique, such as contemporary sculptures by the French street artist David DAVID and installations by Los Angeles-based artist Punk Me Tender. In Frank and David’s office, both sides are decked out with BE@RBRICK figures, created by Japan’s Medicom Toy, also a canvas for modern expression and intersection of style, art, and fashion.

Over a glass of champagne and a prepared charcuterie board, I sat down with Frank Mechaly to talk about the new office space and view some of their latest drops. The new Rockstar location used to be a fabric warehouse, and they were the first brand to move in March 2020, “When all this happened over the pandemic… you know, I really thought we were crazy. But it all worked out.” David also popped by to say hello and gave me a tour around the office, showing us the warehouse where shipments came in and out every day (they’re even running out of space!), the printing studio where each piece is made, the customer service center, and photo studios. Due to space constraints, Rockstar also has another atelier further down the street where they go in to add final touches, hand paint, and wash products.

Anyone who steps into this space can tell that Rockstar is well thought out and has a sense of uniqueness in their designs, “We build our denim thinking how it can empower and flourish the potential of every single individual.” At Rockstar Original, they are known for their streetwear style and are dropping hundreds of looks every month. They have an in-house photographer shooting in the first-floor studio every day, and new looks ready to be photographed every couple of hours. This allows Rockstar to constantly be up to date with the latest trends happening in the hip-hop and rap music world. Frank mentions that both him and David are behind every single style that they drop on the website, making sure that their pieces are always aligned with the brand DNA, “We want to make sure you can always instantly recognize one of our iconic jackets and track sets.”

Rockstar also sent me home with a goodie bag filled with fashionable pieces, including their best-selling Roman Chain Necklace, this super flattering Sadie Skirt Set, a matching track set, some high-tops, and more.
