When the Riviera Hotel opened in Palm Springs in 1958, the area was already an established retreat for Hollywood’s elite—Palm Springs first began attracting high-profile vacationers in the 1920s. The communal-style property quickly became the go-to getaway during the swinging ’60s, and not surprisingly, it established itself as a staple hangout for Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and the rest of the Rat Pack. Sinatra continued to visit the property through the 1970s and ’80s, though by that time the hotel had evol…

The freewheeling, improvisational nature of jazz music may seem at odds with the precisely arranged mechanisms used in watchmaking, but Ulysse Nardin has managed to bring both worlds together with its Jazz Minute Repeater. The new timepiece features a round onyx dial decorated with a scene of four jazz musicians performing on stage in front of a crowd. The musicians—hand carved in relief from 18-karat white gold—are called jacquemarts, a watchmaking term for figures that are animated upon the activation of the…

The latest British tailored-clothing brand to break out of its traditional uniform with contemporary sportswear and suits is E. Tautz. Established in 1867 in London’s prosperous West End, the historic brand—which in its heyday supplied bespoke sporting and military apparel for luminaries such as Winston Churchill—is opening a London flagship store on Duke Street in the Mayfair neighborhood in September. The brand joins a lineup of time-honored British brands that use Savile Row–grade tailoring skills and luxur…
