Breitling Joins Aston Martin for a New Chapter in Speed Image Courtesy Breitling & Aston Martin Breitling steps into a new era as it joins Aston Martin and its Formula One™ Team as Official Watch Partner. The partnership connects handcrafted performance with precision engineering, beginning with the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team; a timepiece marking the watchmaker’s return to Formula 1®. Two worlds shaped by speed now move together. From Aston Martin’s vehicles built in Gaydon and St Athan to the team’s pursuit on the circuit, the collaboration spans the full Aston Martin universe. “Every line, finish, and proportion has purpose,” says Georges Kern, CEO of Breitling. Lawrence Stroll highlights the shared values of ambition, craftsmanship and engineering excellence. The Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team reflects that alignment. Limited to 1,959 pieces, it carries Aston Martin Racing Green with lime accents from the team’s livery. A lightweight titanium case, the first on a Navitimer, meets a carbon‑fiber dial inspired by the cockpit of an F1® car. A textured leather strap recalls a racing harness, while enhanced nighttime visibility keeps the watch legible under pressure. Through the open sapphire‑crystal caseback, the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01 reveals its COSC‑certified precision, complete with a matte‑black tungsten rotor created for this edition. Engravings mark the series: “One of 1959” and “Instruments for Drivers.” The partnership will be visible throughout the Grand Prix season, beginning with the AMR26 launch on 9 February and continuing at the Australian Grand Prix in March. As the collaboration evolves, fans can look forward to exclusive releases, a continued meeting of time and speed.

Cole & Son and Vivienne Westwood Introduce New Wallcovering Collaboration Cole & Son will debut a new capsule collection in collaboration with Vivienne Westwood, bringing together two British design houses known for their heritage, craftsmanship, and distinct visual identities. The partnership marks the first time Cole & Son has translated the fashion house’s iconic prints and hand‑drawn graphics into wallcoverings, reimagining Westwood’s design language for contemporary interiors. Launching in 2026, the collection draws from Vivienne Westwood’s extensive runway history and celebrated print archives. Fabrics, motifs, and graphic elements have been adapted into wallpaper designs that merge historical references with an avant‑garde approach. The result is a series that connects fashion, interior design, and art through a shared commitment to intentional, expressive design. A preview of the collaboration will be presented during Paris Design Week in January 2026 at a curated installation on Rue Saint‑Honoré. The space will be arranged as a living gallery, featuring four distinct areas that highlight the versatility of the collection. Visitors will experience signature Westwood prints at a life‑size scale, including Rainforest Squiggle, Absence of Roses Moiré, MacAndreas Tartan, and the V&A design. image courtesy Cole & Son, Vivienne Westwood Marie Karlsson, Creative and Managing Director at Cole & Son, described the collaboration as a dialogue between two design houses with aligned values. “A true design dialogue between two iconic British design houses, translating the movement, fabric, and form of fashion into the materiality and mood of interiors. It reflects a shared commitment to intentional design. My vision for this collection blends bold beautiful colors with fluid form and tactile richness, creating interiors that feel dynamic, layered, and unmistakably tomorrow. “It is a privilege to introduce this collection into the world of interiors.

Sörmland Mazmez Take the Stage at Restaurant Bitza in a Unique Culinary Collaboration

Kaat Van Der Linden / January 27, 2026

Sörmland Mazmez Take the Stage at Restaurant Bitza in a Unique Culinary Collaboration images courtesy of Bitza and Sörmland Mazmez Sörmland has long been home to several influential culinary talents, including chefs Jacob Ker Lamb, Maria Printz and Kristofer Winnerhed. Now, they are coming together in a new project that aims to highlight Sörmland’s rich ingredients and food identity. At the heart of this initiative is a culinary exchange with Stockholm restaurateur Aadel Kersh and a guest appearance at his restaurant Bitza on Södermalm. Together, they have created an exclusive menu where Palestinian flavours meet Sörmland’s ingredients in a fresh and unexpected way. Maria Printz notes that restaurants do not need to look far to find top-quality ingredients; many of them are grown or produced just an hour outside Stockholm. The collaboration began during an intimate workshop at Arkadien outside Gnesta, where the chefs explored how Sörmland ingredients could be interpreted in new ways. Heritage grains, foraged produce, fermented elements, by-products and wild catch quickly became the foundation for new ideas. The new menu is a set of Sörmland small plates, so-called mazmez, that will be served at Bitza later this spring. The dishes reflect a personal meeting between two food cultures: Palestinian tradition and Sörmland’s deep-rooted food landscape, woven together through flavour, technique and storytelling. “Jacob, Maria and Kristofer are extraordinary culinary minds. It has been inspiring to experiment with them,” says Aadel Kersh, owner of Bitza. For many, the Sörmland pantry remains an undiscovered goldmine. The region holds a unique mix of strong agricultural tradition and forests full of culinary treasures, Sävstaholm apples, heritage grains, fallow deer, greylag goose, freshwater crayfish, mushrooms, rapeseed and a wide range of legumes all contribute to one of Sweden’s most diverse food landscapes. More information about the menu, reservations and the dining experience will be released in early 2026. Bookings will be avaible 24 februari på Bitzas webbplats: Bitza Hornstull • Hornstulls Strand 13 – Stockholm, Sweden
