Tibor Rosetti Galic Samardzic: Norwegian designer with Croatian roots
I've been a follower of Tibor on social media for a long time. His way of dressing and his attitude towards small details have always been interesting to me. But it was only through talking to him that I realized that he has Croatian roots, his full surname is Galic Samardzic and that he often spends his summers in Opatija, which gave the whole story an additional, more personal layer.

Reportage Garage: Ivan Levak and the Porsche 944
The idea of a column about vehicles and the people behind them was born this summer. Who owns them, where did the car come from and what interesting stories does it hide? These are some of the questions we wanted to cover, and the idea of a reportage was so appealing that the name Reportage Garage was chosen. The name somehow perfectly describes what we want to do: bring stories about “tin pets”, from cars to motorcycles, all the way to boats and airplanes.

Cigar Talk with João Maierhofer
When you think of cigars, Mexico probably isn’t the first place that comes to mind. Most people immediately picture Cuba, Honduras, or Nicaragua, countries famous for their rich cigar traditions. But what many don’t know is that tobacco was first discovered and cultivated in what is now Mexico. On the Gulf Coast, particularly around the San Andrés Tuxtla valley, ancient civilizations grew and used tobacco long before it became the global symbol of leisure and craftsmanship we

Piaget presents Andy Warhol Collage
Piaget već desetljećima njeguje vezu između urarstva i umjetnosti, a Warhol je u tom svijetu imao posebno mjesto. Bio je strastveni kolekcionar i posjedovao više od 300 satova, među kojima i nekoliko Piagetovih. Upravo iz te osobne povezanosti nastala je ideja da se stvori model koji bi bio vizualni odraz njegova duha i energije. Inspiracija za sat „Collage” dolazi iz Warholovih samoportreta i tehnike kolaža, osobito iz njegovih Polaroid radova iz 1986. godine.

Style Talk with Kirk Robert Chambers: Fall essentials, bucket hats and Moscot
Fall is that in–between moment when your wardrobe has to do a little more thinking. Mornings feel crisp, afternoons still carry some warmth, and the right outfit needs to move easily between the two. It’s not about reinventing your look but about adjusting the rhythm, layering smarter, playing with texture, and knowing when to trade linen for wool or suede for leather.

From depth to trend: How orange dials in watches took over
The color orange on a watch dial wasn’t born in a design studio. It emerged out of necessity, from the murky depths of the ocean, where visibility could mean survival. In the 1960s, as recreational and professional diving surged, legibility underwater became a top priority. Watchmakers began experimenting with dial colors that would remain visible in low-light conditions and through the thick greenish-blue haze at depth. Amid various tests, one color consistently outperformed
