]]> Towards a democratization of art: the market in full mutation. https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/towards-a-democratization-of-art-the-market-in-full-mutation/ Sat, 23 Aug 2025 13:27:09 +0000 https://news.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=935149

The “Art Basel & UBS Art Market Report 2025” confirms a profound transformation of the global art market. While the total value of sales declined by 12% in 2024, transaction volume increased by 3%, reaching more than 40.5 million sales. This contrast illustrates a major shift: growth is now concentrated in the most accessible segments.

Key figures from the UBS / Art Basel 2025 report :

  • Major works (+10M $): -39% in volume, market share down from 23% to 18%.
  • Intermediate works (50K – 1M $): stable, but under buyer caution.
  • Affordable works (<$5K): +7% in value, +13% in volume.
  • New buyers: 44% of buyers were new in 2024, primarily young forty-somethings looking for small, accessible works, both in terms of price and comprehension. Pop art, which features icons, particularly appeals to this new generation of collectors.

Furthermore, 52% of acquisitions involved works by emerging or new artists, reinforcing the interest in accessibility and novelty (Artsy).

Main motivations:

  • 96.3% buy for personal pleasure.
  • 87% to support the talents they love.
  • Only 7% consider investment an important factor (MyArtBroker).

Closures of traditional art galleries mark the transition

The recent closure of iconic New York galleries, such as Kasmin Gallery (after 35 years of operation) and Blum Galleries, which closed in New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo, as well as Clearing Gallery NY, shocked the art world. But these events, which also took place in major capitals across five continents, confirm that the traditional “old-fashioned” model must evolve to keep pace with the expectations of a new generation of collectors.

7Art Concept Store: anticipating change

“Art is what you can get away with.”

“Drawing inspiration from this famous quote, which was the guiding principle of Andy Warhol’s work, we have made it our philosophy.” It is in this spirit that 7Art, founded in 2006 by Audrey and François Trabelsi, has established itself as a visionary and pioneering player.

Already in 2008, during Art Basel Miami, Audrey and François produced the exhibition “In Fashion Photo” in a parking lot of more than 2,000 m2.

The main theme of this new kind of exhibition was the only retrospective dedicated to the career of supermodel Naomi Campbell, seen by the world’s greatest photographers. The event attracted more than 25,000 visitors in just 4 days. At that time, traditional galleries did not yet consider fashion photography as an art form… Galleries were then opened in Miami, New York, London and Paris…

INTERVIEW AUDREY TRABELSI – 7ART

Art after Covid-19: 7Art Concept Store, a new generation of galleries is born

 » The Covid-19 crisis marked a decisive turning point in the art world. For more than 18 months, our galleries in Paris (Hôtel Royal Monceau) and London (Four Seasons Ten Trinity) remained closed. This ordeal highlighted a profound change among collectors. We then understood that a new generation of buyers was emerging: younger, more curious, in search of works that resembled them and reflected their times. This generation no longer recognized itself in the rigid and intimidating codes of traditional galleries. It was at this moment that we made a visionary decision: to reinvent the art gallery model.

We designed a new, accessible and authentic offering, featuring works for less than $5,000, whereas our average was previously around $20,000. The immediate success of this approach confirmed our intuition: art had to leave its elitist temples and enter the daily lives of all those who love creation. Today, with 7ART Concept Store, we embody this breakthrough: a new generation of galleries that makes art closer, more understandable, more affordable, while remaining demanding and signed by emerging or established artists. The immediate success with new collectors confirmed our vision: the concept of 7Art Concept Store, where you can find accessible, unique or limited edition pieces, is a success, because nothing justified the exorbitant price of certain works offered by some of the traditional galleries. To date, 7Art cooperates with over a hundred artists and presents more than 1,500 works in a unique collection, also available on their new international website: www.7artusa.com.

7ART’s business model

Investing in the lobbies of large luxury hotels, on an average surface area of ​​25 m2 and, in less than 3 years, 7 openings in Dubai… Others are in progress for 2026.

  • W Hotel – The Palm
  • Jumeirah Zabeel Saray
  • Royal Atlantis The Palm
  • Marriott Resort – The Palm Dubai
  • Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel Dubai
  • Waldorf Astoria Palm Jumeirah
  • Grosvenor House West Marina Beach

International expansion

“After validating our model in Dubai, one of the most competitive markets for luxury and tourism, we are now ready to expand internationally, primarily in the USA as a second step.”

Our strategy is based on three main axes:

  • Hotel partnerships: continue to develop strategic partnerships with luxury hotel groups, based on the same model as the one tested in Dubai.
  • Flagships: opening directly owned stores in major cities to establish the brand’s reputation and prestige image.
  • Franchise: Offering franchise experiences with partners in major cities and tourist destinations where luxury and culture intersect. The development of our model is naturally replicable in other countries with strong market potential, with low risk and high potential returns for investors and partners.

Buick vehicles offer sculptural designs, refined performance, modern interiors and thoughtful personal technologies.

Buick Enclave is the latest vehicle to launch with Buick’s new design ethos that started with the Wildcat EV concept, and provides even more premium finishes and amenities, including an ultrawide 30-inch-diagonal screen – the largest in its class.

“With the launch of our Buick Enclave flagship SUV, our ICE portfolio is now complete with a full lineup of completely refreshed or all-new vehicles,” said Duncan Aldred, global vice president, Buick and GMC. “The premium and sculptural design of the Enclave strikes a confident stance on any street, and the thoughtful technologies throughout elevate the driving experience. Coupled with luxury finishes, Enclave sets a new standard for our brand and the segment, it truly is exceptional by design and will help the brand continue our momentum through 2025 and beyond.”

Exceptional design, refined performance

The next-generation Enclave launches with upgrades to the grille, front and rear fascia to align with Buick’s PURE philosophy: purity in design, unexpected details, refined finishes and exceptional executions. The flagship SUV also features the body-mounted hood badging now found throughout the full Buick portfolio.

Buick’s design evolution incorporates the signature winged lighting, checkmark-style LED headlamps and cross-car LED taillamps. The Avenir trim includes a walk-up lighting animation, as well.

In the interior, the Enclave integrates a floating center console that adds to the airy and open ride experience. The floating center console houses functional storage, a multi-controller, wireless phone charger and cupholders.

The 2025 Buick Enclave is longer, wider and taller than the previous generation, providing a strong on-road presence.

All Enclave trims come standard with a powerful 2.5L Turbo engine producing 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, and a standard eight-speed automatic transmission. The Enclave will be available in front wheel and all-wheel drive variants.

The Enclave is trailering-capable with an available maximum capability of up to 5,000 lbs.

Standout technologies

The 2025 Enclave is the first Buick to offer Super Cruise, the industry’s first true hands-free advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), on all of its trim levels.

The Super Cruise package also includes Driver Attention Assist5 and Enhanced Automatic Park Assist5. The Avenir trim includes a rear camera mirror5 as part of the available Super Cruise package.

The Enclave’s infotainment system is designed to give drivers the most intuitive vehicle experience. Using the touchscreen or Google Assistant, drivers can reply to text messages, get directions through Google Maps, or control select vehicle functions. Drivers can also add apps like Spotify to listen to their music and favorite podcasts.

Additional standard tech features include:

  • 30-inch-diagonal premium ultra-wide display – the largest screen in its class
  • Wireless charging capability
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability
  • Seven standard camera views, including front, rear and surround views. Two additional cameras available for up to nine through optional packages.

  • Customizable, multicolor ambient lighting
  • Auto-sense power liftgate
  • QuietTuning, Buick’s signature technology to help prevent unwanted road noise from entering the cabin

Heading to Istanbul, we land at Europe’s largest airport, and already we feel a sense of modernity, cleanliness, and friendliness.

We are welcomed by Jabbar, a member of the Dentakay Marketing & Communication team , and transported in a high-end car with VIP service where the goal is to make us feel as good as possible, like  Dentakay patients . For 3 days we will be accommodated in high-end hotels between Istanbul and Antalya, 2 of the different locations where the luxurious Dentakay
clinics are located.

A journey that will combine visits to three clinics with the tourist discoveries of a modern and traditional country – 
Turkey , Istanbul , between Europe and Asia, between the past and the future, separated by the Bosphorus Strait … An invitation to dream. Then a stopover in Antalya, a famous seaside city for its tourism and its ancient arenas.

Dentakay ‘s marketing and communications team, led by Barış and his colleagues Meryem and Jabbar, have done everything they can to ensure this immersion is as accurate and representative as possible of their magnificent country and what  Dentakay has to offer. We thank them in advance!

Istanbul emanates a kind of positive energy that shows a country in real evolution, a megalopolis (26 times the surface area of ​​Paris) with historic districts where the distant call to prayer from the majestic mosques lulls us into a romantic elsewhere, and others where buildings rise up whose ground floors house malls with luxury boutiques and very elegant restaurants.

The cluster of minarets erected in spires are like hands reaching toward the sky. A trip to Turkey means enjoying visits to magnificent sites, but also discovering refined and rich cuisine; it’s a true invitation to travel…

After a restful night at the Mövenpick Istanbul Marmara Sea Hotel  , we were accompanied by Meryem who took us to the first clinic in Istanbul, mainly reserved for French patients.

We talk with patients who experienced this as a rebirth, a sort of “on/off” in their lives. They came for a week and praised the merits of Dentakay, for the professionalism and support, the care and precise translation, the services throughout the stay and the tourist aspect because everything is done to make anxieties disappear.

Reinventing the patient experience with a trusted environment

In recent years, we have observed a new trend: healthcare establishments are now adopting warmer codes, combining noble materials, soft colors and soothing design. The objective? To offer a reassuring, almost hotel-like experience, where the emotional is as cared for as the medical. The care is intended to be comprehensive, aiming to reduce anxiety and strengthen 
the human connection from the moment of arrival . In addition, there are high-end additional services: concierge, multilingual support, lounge areas, quality drinks… A new vision of care, more human, more comfortable...

At the crossroads of medical excellence and aesthetics, Dentakay boasts a unique positioning, between expertise and elegance.

Onur et Gülay Akay – © Dentakay

We had the pleasure of talking with the founders of Dentakay – Being a couple in entrepreneurship is a strength, Onur and Gülay Akay each have their specificities but are totally complementary, in the expansion of the company, the precise recruitment with profiles of gifted, expert dental surgeon doctors, with more than 5 years of experience and a great artistic sense. I voluntarily call them “ Dent-Artist ”. We followed the dental check-up like the other patients with 3D radio scan, smile photographs, examinations with 4 doctors including Dr. Gülay Akay , among the 60 dental specialists.

We observed extremely detailed and precise analyses of our two cases, with advice, solutions, care, etc. And a constant concern for anticipation to block future oral and dental problems; initially orthodontics, bruxism, then aesthetics.

Health is the priority, even if the result is magnificent and identical to their advertisements. The photos are not retouched for a magical effect; this magic and talent are very real, as we saw with patients Laurence & Christophe, who came from France and were absolutely delighted with this experience.

Everything is “tailor-made”, each action is explained and validated by the patient, the care, the price and the payment facilities offered, the wishes, the psychological impact, the traceability of the implants (Swiss made) with bar code, Qr code, references… 

They are extremely specialized in implantology and its monitoring with techniques specific to  Dentakay including “zygomatic implants” .

Their strength is both a constant synergy between several doctors and the management of prostheses from their own laboratories with a networked computer system between all clinics. In addition, architecturally, all clinics have the same layout so that each doctor can work on each site without losing their bearings ( Ex: all surgical instruments are placed in the same drawers ). You enter a high-tech site, with international awards in the field of dental innovation, 3D manufacturing workshops, smile designers before manufacturing and a “hand” finish .

“At Dentakay, we are redefining excellence in dental care by combining cutting-edge technology with a patient-centric approach. Our commitment to innovation ensures that every treatment is performed with precision, efficiency, and optimal comfort. By integrating advanced techniques with personalized care, we offer a seamless experience that puts your well-being and satisfaction at the heart of everything. From routine checkups to complex procedures, our team of experts is committed to achieving remarkable results in a warm and professional environment. At Dentakay, your smile is our top priority.” 
Dr. Gülay Akay .

Continuation of the report towards Antalya

Turkey is now a prime destination for dental tourism, offering quality care at very competitive rates. Dentakay, voted Europe’s Best Clinic in 2022, offers comprehensive packages including airport transfers, accommodation, and VIP services to ensure a seamless and comfortable experience for international patients.

Our journey continues with a visit to the Antalya clinic, which demonstrates a true architectural commitment to providing a high-end, designer, and welcoming experience, where patient comfort is as important as the quality of care.

Spaces blending noble materials, soft colors, and soothing design. At the intersection of medical and lifestyle, a new era of dentistry is underway. A pioneer of this movement, the Dentakay network of international clinics has been offering a completely redesigned treatment experience for over 16 years.

The care is comprehensive, aiming to reduce anxiety and strengthen the human connection from the moment you arrive. In addition, high-end additional services are offered:

Concierge services, multilingual support, lounge areas, quality drinks… A new vision of care, more human, more comfortable. And accommodations in beautiful hotels like the Limak Lara De Luxe Hotel & Resort.

We were impressed by the professionalism and quality of each of our contacts, as well as the technology and humanity of the care provided.

These clinics are models for the medical world, with prices that allow patients to access major surgeries and cosmetic transformations without forcing them into their decisions.

Thanks to the communications and marketing team, we have traveled through a rich culture, a very welcoming people and a cutting-edge medical world… This mix of tourism and science is successful. It is always difficult to trust in this field and here we recommend Dentakay, hoping to see other clinics in France and Europe open to all.

]]> Tiffany Haddish to Host the 29th Annual FGI Rising Star Awards https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/tiffany-haddish-to-host-the-29th-annual-fgi-rising-star-awards/ Tue, 18 Mar 2025 14:42:47 +0000 https://usa.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=932301

Fashion Group International (FGI) will host the 29th annual FGI Rising Star Awards ceremony on April 16, 2025, in New York City, from 11 am to 2 pm (location to be announced).

Emmy, Grammy, and NAACP Image award winning actress, performer, producer, and New York Times bestselling author Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip, The Last Black Unicorn), will host the venerable fashion non-profit organization’s red-carpet awards ceremony – joined by presenters Fern Mallis, Gary Wassner, Ken Downing, Reem Acra, Jonathan Cohen, and more to be announced. The event convenes leading designers, executives, and tastemakers, and presenters to recognize emerging talent in fashion, beauty, and related sectors – along with distinguished leaders like Robert Chavez, former Executive Chairman Hermès Americas (Retired), recipient of this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

“The Rising Star Awards and program serve as a premier platform for celebrating the next generation of industry leaders,” said Alyce Panico, Chairperson of FGI Board of Directors and CEO of Luxe Collective Group. “I am incredibly proud of this initiative in championing mentorship and leadership in a year where these values are more vital than ever. FGI remains at the forefront of supporting emerging talent and empowering them to shape the future of our industry.”

“Each year, as we review the applications, we remain inspired by the energy and creativity of these founders, designers, and emerging brands,” says Maryanne Grisz, President & CEO of Fashion Group International. “They are the future of fashion – and it is our honor to recognize their work and support their vision as these nominees and honorees step into the spotlight and the next chapter of their careers at the FGI Rising Star Awards.”

The FGI Rising Star Awards is one of FGI’s signature fundraising events. The event’s visibility and impact reflect the global fashion organization’s commitment to nurture and support fashion professionals at every stage of their careers with vital resources, educational opportunities, and a global forum for connection. Applications opened in September of 2024 to eligible businesses in operation for two to six years. Finalists and honorees are ultimately selected by FGI member vote and juried panel.

Historically, the FGI Rising Star Awards have served as a career incubator for some of the fashion world’s most revered brands and designers, including Tory Burch, Jason Wu, Brandon Maxwell, Joseph Altuzarra, Phillip Lim, Kerby Jean-Raymond, Thom Brown, Monica Rich Kosann, Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger, Brett Heyman, Warby Parker, Cornelia Guest; Dylan Lauren of Dylan’s Candy Bar; Jennifer Fleiss and Jennifer Hyman of Rent The Runway, and Rachel Shechtman of Story.

Returning sponsor Macy’s, in its second-year partnership with FGI, will again sponsor the Future Fashion Award in Fashion Merchandising, recognizing an outstanding student in fashion merchandising enrolled in one of six partner collegiate programs. On behalf of returning sponsor Hilldun Corporation, Gary Wassner will present the Hilldun Business Innovation Award to Carly Bigi, Founder of Laws of Motion.

FGI will fete awards finalists at an annual, invitation-only pre-event. This year, for the first time, the awards pre-event will take the form of an informal fireside chat: a new format proposed by FGI Board Chairperson Alyce Panico. Ms. Panico was appointed to the role in January of 2025, succeeding 6-year former Board Chairperson and current FGI Board member and advisor James D’Adamo. 

Prior to her appointment, Ms. Panico served on the FGI Board of Directors for five years in addition to co-chairing the 2024 FGI Night of Stars gala. The fireside chat aligns with FGI’s strategic direction for 2025 and Panico’s expressed goals to continue fostering opportunities for connection and to further develop the organization’s impactful programming.

This year’s pre-party event will be hosted by APL and APL Managing Partner NJ Falk, at the luxury performance athletic and lifestyle footwear flagship store in New York City’s SoHo district. During the event, FGI Chairperson Alyce Panico will moderate a fireside chat with NJ Falk, Robert Chavez, Gary Wassner, and other special guests who, together, will discuss the topic of mentorship and paying it forward in the fashion industry.

]]> H. Moser & Cie Opens First U.S. Brand Boutique in Silicon Valley at The Villa Menlo Park https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/h-moser-cie-opens-first-u-s-brand-boutique-in-silicon-valley-at-the-villa-menlo-park/ Sat, 01 Mar 2025 13:48:00 +0000 https://usa.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=932281

H. Moser & Cie, the independently owned, small watchmaker gaining notice with collectors for its bold, unconventional design and mechanical ingenuity, has chosen Silicon Valley’s The Villa Menlo Park development as the site of the brand’s first U.S. watch boutique.

To mark this important milestone, H. Moser & Cie unveils its new boutique exclusive Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton timepiece to the world for the first time at the brand’s new Silicon Valley store, presented in partnership with Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry—now open at 500 El Camino Real in Menlo Park, California.

The Villa Menlo Park development realizes the vision set forth by Jared and Stephen Silver, longtime Bay Area retailers and pioneers in the independent watch category. They set out to create a new Silicon Valley cultural hub, with an emphasis on discovery, fine craftsmanship, quiet sophistication, and enriching, curated experiences. The new venue houses world-class dining and retail destinations, including the new H. Moser & Cie boutique, reflecting the growing importance of the American market for the brand and the watchmaking industry as a whole.

The H. Moser & Cie boutique at The Villa Menlo Park offers visitors the opportunity to discover the watchmaker’s rare and remarkable timepieces in a resolutely modern environment. The brand’s first stand-alone U.S. retail boutique—its fourth worldwide—artfully interprets both the brand’s philosophy and its traditional watchmaking craft through a refined, minimalist lens.

The interior exhibits understated lines, refined industrial materials, and carefully composed lighting, inviting watch lovers to rediscover the very essence of the watchmaker’s art, stripped of any artifice. Within its walls, boutique visitors will discover one of the world’s largest selections of rare H. Moser & Cie timepieces in a single location, including the new boutique exclusive Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton timepiece, one of only seventeen such timepieces available in the world.

Edouard Meylan, H. Moser & CEO, says : “The opening of our boutique in the San Francisco Bay Area marks a key milestone in our international development strategy. This iconic region, synonymous with innovation and creativity, perfectly embodies the values that drive H. Moser & Cie.: boldness, a pioneering spirit, and a passion for artisanal excellence.”

We could not be happier than to have the presence of H. Moser & Cie. at The Villa Menlo Park. The brand is one of the most important forces in modern watch design and a flag bearer for independent watchmaking,” says Jared Silver, President of Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry, and a key driver of The Villa Menlo Park development. “H. Moser is rapidly growing its base of collectors in Silicon Valley, and now they will have an immersive home to experience the many different aspects of the company.”

Introducing the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Boutique Exclusive Edition

To mark this milestone occasion, H. Moser & Cie. unveils a boutique exclusive version of its Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton – revealed to the world first at the brand’s new Silicon Valley boutique. The limited edition of seventeen timepieces was designed to offer unrivalled mechanical excellence and a unique visual experience – and marks a new step in the manufacture’s quest for perfection. Limited to the brand’s own boutiques and Moserland concepts, this yellow gold timepiece elevates the contemporary fluid aesthetic of the Streamliner collection whilst embodying the very essence of minimalism in the watchmaker’s art.

One of the most striking characteristics of this piece is its transparency, and perfectly symmetrical design. Faithful to its philosophy of “remove to better reveal”, H. Moser & Cie. has skeletonized every component, eliminating any superfluous material to enhance the stark, fascinating beauty of the mechanism. The skeletonization process results in a refined, luminous piece, highly transparent with incredible depth that reveals all the beauty of the watch mechanism, usually hidden from view. The barrel, which has also been hollowed out, offers a view of the spring, allowing the wearer to check that it is wound correctly. You can even see through the watch to the solid gold rotor, which has also been skeletonized. Particular attention has been paid to symmetry, ensuring the proportions are perfectly balanced. The minimalist finishes are modern, adorning the anthracite main plate and bridges with drawn strokes combined with precise beveling.

At the heart of this timepiece is a one-minute flying tourbillon which seems to float weightlessly, driven by the caliber HMC 814, an automatic movement equipped with a Straumann® double hairspring, designed, and produced in-house by Precision Engineering AG. This innovation reduces friction and increases accuracy, ensuring a perfect symbiosis between aesthetics and technical performance.

The 40 mm cushion case and its integrated bracelet are both made from yellow gold and echo the signature ergonomic curves of the Streamliner collection. This pairing ensures optimal comfort and a fluid design which sits perfectly on the wrist. With this exclusive model, the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Boutique Edition in yellow gold stands as a bold declaration of style, aimed at knowledgeable watch lovers who are seeking the perfect union between form and function.

Discover this rare timepiece — one of only seventeen in the world — and more at the H. Moser & Cie. Menlo Park boutique on the ground floor of The Villa Menlo Park, located at 500 El Camino Real, in Menlo Park, California.

The store is open to the public and by private appointment, Monday-Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

]]> The new BMW R 12 S 2025 https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/the-new-bmw-r-12-s-2025/ Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:23:03 +0000 https://usa.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=932160

With the BMW R 12 S, BMW Motorrad is expanding its Heritage range by paying fitting homage to the iconic R 90 S, which in 1973 set the exclamation point for BMW Motorrad with 67 hp, a top speed of 124 mph (considered the “sound barrier” for motorcycles at the time), twin disc front brakes and sporty riding dynamics.

The chief designer at the time, Hans A. Muth, skilfully expressed the sporting ambitions in the design language, marking the R 90 S as the world’s first production motorcycle with a handlebar fairing designed according to aerodynamic principles. A red “90” in the R 90 S’s engine emblem subtly underlined the capabilities of the new BMW and the model became very popular with buyers of the time.

Racing successes helped the BMW R 90 S acquire an iconic image. It didn’t take long for the R 90 S’s image to benefit from racing successes as well. In 1976, Hans-Otto Butenuth and Helmut Dähne celebrated a class victory at the Production TT on the Isle of Man . That same year, Steve McLaughlin (#83) won the prestigious Daytona 200 on a Butler & Smith-prepared R 90 S, and his teammate Reg Pridmore (#163) became the first-ever AMA Superbike champion, with McLaughlin finishing the season in second place. Today, the R 90 S is, as it was back then, one of the most sought-after BMW motorcycles.

The BMW R 12 S brings the spirit of the R 90 S into the present. The new BMW R 12 S takes up the spirit of the R 90 S in its overall concept as well as in numerous details and skilfully brings it into the present. Based on the R 12 nineT, it embodies an authentic and sporty retro motorcycle and combines several ingredients that make up a skilful homage to the R 90 S.

“The defining design elements of our R 12 S include the handlebar-mounted cockpit fairing with tinted windscreen, the seat with contrasting stitching and the Lava Orange Metallic paintwork as a nod to the legendary R 90 S Daytona Orange from 1975. The design is perfectly rounded off by details such as the red “S” on the side panels, the double red line and the brushed and clear-lacquered aluminium surfaces of the tank and seat hump,” explains Alexander Buckan, Head of Design at BMW Motorrad.

European model shown above. US model features a standard short rear with a swingarm mounted license plate frame.

American model with standard short rear and swingarm mounted license plate frame.

Option 719 Wheel Classic II, Billet Packs Shadow and Shadow II, Headlight Pro, Shift Assistant Pro, and more.

The R 12 S underlines the claim of a sporty retro motorcycle with numerous standard features such as the Option 719 Classic II wheels with wire spokes and naturally anodized aluminum rims. The handlebars and fork tubes are painted black and the components of the Billet Shadow and Shadow II packages provide attractive accents. The components of the Billet Pack Shadow are the left and right ignition coil covers, the oil filler screw and the cylinder head covers coated in Avus Black Metallic Matte. The Billet Pack Shadow II includes the footrest system with brake pedal and gear lever, the passenger footrests, the handbrake and clutch levers, the expansion tank covers for the front brake and clutch, as well as the handlebar end mirrors.

Other standard equipment includes Hill Start Control, Gear Shift Assistant Pro, heated grips, cruise control and a short rear with swingarm-mounted license plate holder. For even greater safety when driving at night, the adaptive Headlight Pro cornering light provides better illumination of the road when cornering.

Complete list of original BMW Motorrad accessories for customization.

The BMW R 12 S is based on the BMW R 12 nineT and can therefore be supplemented with all accessories, such as titanium exhaust systems, soft bags or navigation preparation. Additional factory-installed options, such as the tire pressure control (RDC), the anti-theft alarm system (DWA), the intelligent emergency call, the Connected Ride Control and the digital display with micro-TFT screen as an alternative to the classic round instruments.

Standard equipment of the R 12 S

Like all BMW motorcycle models from the 2025 model year, the new R 12 S includes the Ultimate Care running-in service, or “600 Mile Service”, as standard. This included service also offers BMW customers a truly premium experience. Time and mileage limits apply – maximum 6 months from the date of initial service or maximum 750 miles – whichever comes first. 1,170 cc air/oil-cooled 2-cylinder boxer engine, 6-speed gearbox, DOHC cylinder head with 4 radially arranged valves, shaft drive, cast aluminium wheels, BMW Motorrad ABS Pro, BMW Motorrad Paralever, dual disc front brake with radial brake caliper, Dynamic Traction Control DTC, adjustable rear preload, steering stabiliser, upside-down fork with adjustable rebound, compression and preload, 12 V socket, speedometer and rev counter, electronic immobiliser, LED indicators, LED headlight and tail light, USB port, on-board computer, riding modes, adjustable handbrake and clutch levers, keyless driving, chrome manifold, aluminium fuel tank, intelligent emergency call, Ultimate Care running-in service.

]]> Arnold & Son Unveils Two New Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold Timepieces at Geneva Watch Days Event https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/arnold-son-unveils-two-new-perpetual-moon-38-red-gold-timepieces-at-geneva-watch-days-event/ Thu, 29 Aug 2024 18:40:07 +0000 https://usa.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=931250

Arnold & Son welcomes two new dial variations to the Perpetual Moon 38 collection.  The Swiss watchmaker revealed the two new limited-edition moon phase timepiece models at Geneva Watch Days – including a limited edition of 88 pieces in blue aventurine glass and a 28-piece limited edition in sunray brushed grey. With these new designs, Arnold & Son exhibits its mastery of color, its sense of texture, and its taste for premium materials, telling a nocturnal narrative that brings together the grey of a cliff, the iridescent white of the moon, the inky black blue of a starry sky, and the precise astronomical moon phase of the A&S1612 caliber.

From the outset, Perpetual Moon 38 was destined to become a full-fledged collection. While distinct from its larger 41.5 mm diameter Perpetual Moon cousin, the 38 mm model shares the unwavering quality, precision, and high-level finish associated with the Arnold & Son name.

Measuring 38 mm in diameter and 10.44 mm thick, the Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold case is brought to life from a block of red gold (5N). Its bezel, four lugs, and crown are polished, shining under the cold light of the moon. The blue aventurine dial, constellated with metallic particles, blends into a celestial vault sculpted from the same glass. The “cliff grey” dial, in a warm, sunray-brushed grey, boasts an ever-shifting moiré effect under a grained matte midnight blue sky.  

These two limited editions of Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold are home to a huge moon phase: a luminescent disc of mother-of-pearl illuminates the sky, framed by the constellations of Cassiopeia and Ursa Major.  

A 38 MM PICTURE OF PRECISION

Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold transposes stringent watchmaking requirements of Arnold & Son into a smaller, more slender case. The Arnold & Son Swiss manufacturer has designed an entirely new caliber, the smallest in its collection, and dedicated it to Perpetual Moon 38.

At 30 mm, the A&S1612 caliber has been sized to fit the diameter of the case. The hand-wound movement continues Arnold & Son’s tradition of calibers with long power reserves, reaching up to 90 hours.  

WAXING MOON, WANING MOON

The star complication of the A&S1612 caliber is its moon phase. Perpetual Moon 38 showcases a large moon disc. The different crescents occupy the large aperture between 10 and 2 o’clock, with the form of their cut-out faithfully recreating the appearance of the moon.  

True to its tradition of precision watchmaking, Arnold & Son has given this moon phase an accuracy of 122 years. Continuously rising, it will take more than a century for this moon to lag one day behind the real one in our skies.  

About Arnold & Son

Arnold & Son eschews commonly expected conventions to create singular collections imbued with English heritage. It thus unites the exacting standards of Swiss watchmaking with a unique aesthetic.

Arnold & Son is named after John Arnold, a renowned English watchmaker of the 18th century. The golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry, and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art, and their genius.

This is how these three dimensions – Astronomy, Chronometry and World Time – have come to be embodied in the House’s contemporary timepieces. Echoes of John Arnold’s inventions and preoccupations, these principles represent the foundations on which the Arnold & Son collections are based. The twenty-plus calibers presented to date by Arnold & Son have all been designed and developed in-house and produced by its sister manufacturer, La Joux-Perret in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Switzerland). This independence and creativity demonstrate the House’s ability to perpetuate John Arnold’s exceptional inventions.

EXCLUSIVITY

Arnold & Son’s collections are produced in limited series and distributed worldwide through carefully selected retail partners. 

HERITAGE

As a renowned watchmaker, John Arnold produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century. He won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. He filed many patents as an inventor, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance spiral and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves. Arnold also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, many of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.

AUTHENTICITY

A fine watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold & Son has based its identity on its ability to produce great watchmaking complications linked to John Arnold’s heritage and based on three principles: Astronomy, Chronometry and World Time. These complications include tourbillon, true seconds, dual time zones and moon phase. Lastly, the long-lasting power reserves pay homage to Arnold’s marine chronometers, which also benefit from impressive autonomy. Arnold & Son’s twenty or so calibres have been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled, and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret. This independence demonstrates the House’s ability to perpetuate John Arnold’s exceptional inventions.

AESTHETICS

Arnold & Son is known for its timepieces with a unique style that can be easily recognized. The movements’ architecture, the continuous pursuit of multiaxial symmetry, and the skillfully crafted dials, often featuring rare gemstones and minerals, are all in line with the brand’s manufactured calibers, ranging from a single barrel to the full range of grande complication calibers.
