The Pilatus PC-12 single-engine turboprop has been a popular aircraft in that category since it entered service in 1994, with nearly 1,300 examples delivered worldwide to date. To celebrate the plane’s 20th anniversary, the Swiss company is offering a slate of new features for the Pilatus PC-12 NG (for “next generation”) variant, which was introduced in 2008 and was named to Robb Report’s Best of the Best list in 2013. Pilatus says that the new upgrades aim to make the most of new technologies and respond to r…

The owners of the recently delivered yacht Sassy, from Hargrave Custom Yachts, were so satisfied with their three previous builds from the Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., shipyard, that they went back a fourth time to commission this 101-foot raised-pilothouse design. The new yacht has the same overall length as the owners’ previous vessels, all of which were also named Sassy; the most recent was delivered in 2010. The new vessel, which features updated exterior styling, with a curved transom, swim platform, and aft-dec…

This spring, Dior Homme gives black tie a lightweight, casual feel with an informal lineup of summer tuxedos and suiting. In this new collection, Dior Homme’s artistic director, Kris Van Assche, juxtaposes the notion of tailored, formal pieces with the ease of casual, sport-driven informality. Specifically bending the rules are new silhouettes like the “shorts suit,” which serves to transport modern men from the boardroom to the beach, and a summer tuxedo, which is a one-button, athletic-style tuxedo in lightw…

Chinese artist Li Hongbo’s current exhibition, Tools of Study—which will be on display through March 22 at the Klein Sun Gallery in Chelsea, New York—pays homage to numerous classical sculptures. At first glance, the 20 pieces in the collection, which Li refers to as his “faithful friends,” appear to be porcelain replicas of renowned classics, including the bust of Michelangelo’s David. But the sculptures are made entirely out of paper—thousands of layers of paper, in fact, which can be pulled apart and stretc…

The Princess Yachts S72 is the first model in a new series from the English builder. The S in the model name stands for “sport bridge,” but this vessel is defined by so much more than its flybridge. The 72-foot yacht features an upper deck that offers space for open-air relaxation, and its overall styling and interior design seem to target a younger, more cosmopolitan clientele than Princess’s typical customers. With a top speed of 37 knots and below-deck accommodations for as many as six passengers and two cr…

The Sanchaya welcomes guests to discover Lagoi Bay, an upcoming beach-resort destination on the Singapore Strait scheduled to open June 1.
Why Go: Although Bintan Island belongs to Indonesia, its location 45 minutes by ferry from Singapore explains a lot. All along Bintan’s northern coast is an area called Lagoi with family-friendly beach resorts, golf courses, and manicured developments. There is a lot of promise here, as the renderings on various development websites advertise. One of the newest development…

The atmosphere at mid-February’s Miami International Boat Show, which displayed more than 3,000 boats, was the most positive it has been in years. Despite Valentine’s Day storms that canceled thousands of flights and left many would-be showgoers stuck in the Midwest and Northeast, visitors from the rest of the United States, Latin America, and Europe flew in to investigate dozens of new models and walk the docks. For the first time since before the onset of the global recession, boatbuilders and yacht brokers …

It stands to reason that Johnnie Walker’s master blender, Jim Beveridge—with more than 8 million barrels of whiskies aging in numerous warehouses throughout Scotland—would have quite a challenge if he wanted to select just three of these casks from which to make a superpremium, super-refined vatting. But with the John Walker & Sons Odyssey ($1,100) he has done precisely that. Inspired by Alexander Walker’s passion for epic journeys (plus his original blending notes), the Odyssey is the first triple-single-…

The dawn of a new Ferrari era is here, marking the end of naturally aspirated automobiles from the marque. That being the case, the new Ferrari California T is an impressive leap forward for hardtop convertibles. The car weighs 13 pounds less than its predecessor and features a turbocharged V-8 engine with 550 hp—60 hp more than the outgoing model—an an additional 49 percent boost in torque for a total of 556 ft lbs.
The history of Ferrari is deeply rooted in V-12s, so it has been a challenge for the company …
