MEN 'S FOLIO Singapore Magazine - April 2022

In this issue

The phenomenon of life is a deeply unique experience. An introspective journey that meanders through time only to lead us back to ourselves, it’s a search for solace, a meditative state of mind, and the discovery of our individual significance.

This idea of a phenomenon underscores Men’s Folio April 2022 issue. Leading with the intent to dig deeper into the human consciousness, the team has gathered emotive imagery and stories meant to nudge an afterthought.

Birthed from the same school of thought, one of this issue’s cover subjects decked in Cartier, David Yong is the epitome of a modern hybrid man who juggles multiple professions and has found harmony between each as he navigates various settings.

In timepieces, Asaph Low looked at shapes and forms that go beyond traditional shapes with form watches, from Cartier and Bvlgari to Bell & Ross, Girard-Perregaux and Franck Muller, that set themselves apart from the crowd.

Deep dive into the psyche of a new generation of fashion archivists who are pioneering a new wave in preserving history. In Mechanical sculptures, the Men’s Folio team investigates the fascinating mind of a multimedia artist whose works reside years ahead in the future. Equally fascinating is a think piece that gleans insight into episodic memories – otherwise coined “core memory” by the TikTok generation.
