When it comes to its size, stature, and sticker price, the Bentley Mulsanne is unquestionably the flagship sedan in the British automaker’s lineup of stalwart vehicles. The Flying Spur, however, while smaller in size, comes with a bigger W-12 engine, which in turn produces more horsepower. For some, these numbers are trivial when looking at overall luxury; but Bentley wanted to provide the 4-year-old Mulsanne model with an additional boost of power and exclusivity for 2015 (as a 2016 model). Enter the Bentley …

The French shoemaker Berluti has debuted the Swing, its first-ever ready-to-wear men’s golf shoe.

In September at the annual Cannes Yachting Festival, Dominator Yachts introduced the D26 Ilumen, an 87-foot semicustom model that uses hybrid propulsion. Though it has not yet been built, the yacht—which took two years to develop—presents specifications that are indeed promising, both in terms of design and performance.

Its four power modes range from pure electric, which engages the electric engines and enables the yacht to travel silently at speeds up to 6 knots, to diesel and electric, which engages both…

While Aston Martin has never left any of its models wanting in the looks department, its cars’ performance figures—even for the range-topping models—always seem one step behind those of the competition. In an effort to keep pace with the likes of Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and even Ferrari, Aston Martin is making some very astute changes to the Vanquish (both coupe and Volante) and Rapide S for 2015.

Many of these improvements are derived from an all-new Touchtronic III 8-speed automatic gearbox, which is desi…

One of the key questions asked by most patients diagnosed with cancer is, Why did this happen to me? In an increasing number of cases, scientists can provide answers, such the inheritance of a cancer-causing gene or exposure to a specific toxin. Just in the last year, researchers uncovered new information about the risks associated with another specific inherited abnormality—Partner and Localizer of BRCA2 (PALB2). Yet these kinds of specific causes are rare overall, and most cases of cancer appear to be sponta…

Founded in 1999 by retired craftsmen from Japan’s Platinum Pen Company, Nakaya is a boutique pen maker committed to handcrafting and traditional Japanese artistic techniques.

Nakaya’s artisans first apply a fine gold powder to create the background of the picture on the pen’s cap and barrel, and then use metal powders in different colors to add detail. The re…

In 2004, the Swiss watchmaker Parmigiani Fleurier inaugurated its partnership with the supercar manufacturer Bugatti by introducing the Bugatti Type 370, an avant-garde wristwatch with a horizontally oriented movement. In celebration of this decade-long relationship, Parmigiani has created three new limited-edition variations of that original watch, the first of which, the Bugatti Mythe, debuted recently.

Like the previous entries in the series, the movement powering the Mythe is horizontally oriented, with…
