August Man SG Magazine - Issue 194

In this issue

Trappings can showcase our values because it takes a significant amount of coin and we spend undue amounts of time trying to figure out how to get our money’s worth.It is also in this process that identity often finds its most eloquent expression – To what values and aesthetics do we aspire? To what lifestyle do we ascribe? It’s an age where those so blessed have choices in abundance.. The choice of a finely crafted timepiece or the allure of a precision-engineered automobile reflects our appreciation for excellence and the pursuit of
the extraordinary. Consider Chanel’s remarkable foray into high-tech ceramics in watchmaking (p. 46). It’s a testament to the unceasing pursuit of innovation and the harmonious marriage of tradition and technology.
Conversely. purveyors like Patek Philippe (p. 110) and Vacheron Constantin (p. 114) continue to ply levels of craft that retain the best traditions of human artisanship. Speaking of automobiles, costs in Singapore means that a car transcends its functional utility as “a mode of transport”. Therefore investing in the best-made cars (p. 118) isn’t just a financial decision; it’s an investment in the joy of living life to the fullest.
But ultimately, it’s not about materialism but using these objects as catalysts for inspiration and as tools to elevate our daily experiences. By surrounding ourselves with well-crafted, inspiring artifacts, we can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, turning the drudgery of daily life into a canvas for our dreams to take flight.
