Oris 40th Squadron Limited Edition
Oris is proud to announce the 40th Squadron Limited Edition, a watch that celebrates a new partnership with 40th Squadron Heli, the Belgian Air Force search and rescue team. The squadron was formed in 1974, and in nearly five decades of service has saved countless lives. Oris honours the squadron with this limited edition version of the Big Crown ProPilot, a 45.00 mm stainless steel watch coated in grey PVD. The model’s military-inspired detailing reflects the orange, green and beige livery of the Sea King helicopters the 40th Squadron operates, and the case back is engraved with the squadron’s insignia. It’s powered by an automatic mechanical movement that provides it with big day and date indications, it comes on a military green fabric strap, and it’s water-resistant to 10 bar (100 metres).

Gucci G-Timeless Iconic
The G-Timeless family has branched out with the introduction of two new quartz timepieces, which represent a solid direction for the line. Influenced by Gucci codes, the watches feature characteristic style notes, including the large central bee motif on the dial. Depicted with a refined thread-effect finish, mimicking the house’s embroideries, the design captures the brand’s unique spirit. The watches feature a 38mm steel case, a silver sunbrushed dial, and sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. Whilst one has a steel bracelet, the other is worked in steel and yellow gold PVD. Both designs are very versatile and easily combined with any outfit. Made in Switzerland, the timepieces are water resistant to 50m.

Reimagine the Dreams
Dusit International led by Ms. Sinhalese Suthumpun, Group CEO of Dusit International revealed the reimagined Dusit Thani Bangkok hotel and it will officially open its door to the discerning travellers again on 27 September 2024. “For over five decades, the original Dusit Thani Bangkok was a beloved landmark, a true ambassador of Thai hospitality for global travellers,” said Ms Suthumpun. “As we embarked on its reimagination, we were committed to honouring that legacy while exceeding the expectations of today’s sophisticated guests. This meant meticulously preserving elements of the original hotel and seamlessly blending them with a fresh, modern design. Throughout this process, we stayed true to the vision of Dusit’s founder, Thanpuying Chanut Piyaoui, and owner, Mr Chanin Donavanik, to showcase Thai culture, art, and gracious service in a way that resonates with contemporary travellers and adapts to evolving preferences. Sustainability remains a core focus for Dusit, and this commitment is also reflected in the new hotel’s design and operations. Ultimately, we aim to deliver an unparalleled guest experience while preserving the warmth and service that have always been synonymous with the Dusit Thani name.” Together with the supporting design team, Ms. Natalia Srisamorn, Managing Director - Dusit Estate and Group Creative Strategy, Dusit International and Mr. Somkiat Lo-Chindapong, Deputy Managing Director of Architects 49 Limited (A49) explained the conceptual ideas of the design and challenges in order to capture the essences of Dusit Thani Bangkok from top to ground and inside out. “The original Dusit Thani Bangkok had a soul all of its own, and our goal was to translate that spirit into a contemporary space equipped for the future,” said Ms Sriyuksiri. “We started by reinterpreting the original hotel’s unique design elements through a modern lens. This involved studying the hotel’s distinctive interiors and architecture to identify patterns we could modernise or reference in new creations.” “By reimagining elements from the original Dusit Thani Bangkok and focusing on exquisite craftsmanship throughout the entire design process – from architecture to décor to furnishings – we’ve woven a connection between the hotel’s past and present, creating a timeless harmony guests will experience throughout the entire new hotel,” said Ms Sriyuksiri. Beyond the architectural note, the new Dusit Thani Bangkok also incorporates Feng Shui principles for a holistic guest experience explained by Mr. Somkiat. “The goal was to seamlessly integrate world-class design with the legacy of the original hotel, and this included marrying ancient Feng-Shui wisdom about wind and water with modern architecture. This approach is evident in the building’s positioning within Dusit Central Park, ensuring each guest room offers unobstructed views of Lumpini Park through large bay windows with a luxurious gold finish. These breathtaking vistas act as ‘golden frames of memories,’ drawing positive energy into the hotel while creating lasting impressions for guests. “Blending old-world charm with modern elegance, there simply is no other building like it in Bangkok. It is instantly recognisable as the Dusit Thani Bangkok, inside and out. Furthermore, the seamless connection to Lumpini Park and the upcoming roof park at the
