The new race car will be powered by an all-new 5.5L DOHC V-8 that will be paired to the LMDh common hybrid system.

Cadillac’s commitment to performance is embodied in the V-Series portfolio. Its recent expansion includes the CT4-V and CT5-V sport sedans, Escalade-V as well as the track-capable CT4-V Blackwing1 and CT5-V Blackwing1.

The race car will begin on-track testing this summer and first race at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in 2023.

Classic Meets Traditional Residence: A Project By Rafael de Cárdenas

Located in the city of Design, London, Rafael De Cárdenas elevated the contemporary design to the next level with Glebe Place Residence, by mixing novel styles, gathering together such dissimilar traditional Portuguese pieces and modern design. Still, the distinguished and top interior designer guarantees the most harmonious environments with this ambitious interior project design. Glebe Place Residence by Rafael De Cárdenas is way more than a platform of design, it has its own personality keeping most of the original details intact.

Featuring modern furniture and fine craftsmanship pieces, the astonishing six-bedroom residence was renovated to evoke timeless luxury, balancing contemporary classics with the home’s historic character. A restrained palette of Portland limestone, hardwood, and natural materials is punctuated by vibrant accents of turquoise, fuchsia, brass, and deep purple furnishings from modern European and American designers.

Rafael De Cárdenas recreated several different rooms, each one with its own classic touch. One of the three contemporary dining rooms has a special Portuguese reference completing the whole ambiance with the perfect piece of art, D. Manuel I Cabinet from Boca do Lobo’s Limited-Edition Collection.

Designed by Rafael De Cárdenas, the modern dining room is filled with luxury furniture pieces: a gigantic cream marble contemporary dining table and large upholstery modern chairs which gives the possibility to the room, to be more than a dining space. It can perfectly be a place to have an informal meeting with the closest professionals or business partners. The blossom rose wallpaper gives life to the walls and colour to the room delighted with classic hue and textures like beige, old greys, and dark woods.

Right beside the entrance door, D. Manuel Cabinet was chosen strategically by Rafael De Cárdenas to expand the space and cut the contemporary design of the rest of the pieces. The cabinet surface has a copper leaf finish, with a sophisticated black lacquer gradient applied on the outside. Its legs are made from solid mahogany and are crafted to a traditional and handmade form, finished in high gloss black lacquer.

Manueline Style was an inspiration for Rafael De Cárdenas due to the sumptuous and composite Portuguese style of architectural ornamentation, incorporating maritime elements and representations of the discoveries brought from the voyages of Vasco da Gama and Pedro Álvares Cabral, two of the most renamed discoverers in Portugal history.

ARTISANS DE GENÈVE Presents the John McEnroe Lefty Project Rolex Submariner

An incomparable game, a unique style; John McEnroe is an iconoclastic personality. A legend in the history of tennis. This incredible champion has offered us one of the greatest challenges: to make a skeleton version of his Submariner Date.

ARTISANS DE GENÈVE

Presents the John McEnroe Lefty Project Rolex Submariner

THE JOHN MCENROE LEFTY PROJECT

Not many can pull off this level of design without taking away the essence of the original model. Nevertheless, the Swiss workshop shows how years of experience can impart a stunning level of detail. After checking with the company’s official webpage, it’s clear that this John McEnroe collaboration might be a one-off piece.

This personalization has been requested by a private customer. It is a sample of our know-how and of the personalization services made upon request of our customers. If you would like to customize your timepiece in the same way or following your wishes, please contact us. Please note that due to the limited capacity of our workshops, we are not able to satisfy every demands so please accept our apologies in advance.

Knowing that there is only one in existence just adds to its value. Hence, let’s dive in and check out what Artisans de Genève brings to the table. Starting off with a Rolex Submariner Date, the team is focusing on reworking some of its components. The open-work dial with indices in black adds to the overall magnificence.

Mechanical
play

John McEnroe wanted his watch to have a modern and elegant look, full of finesse. Extremely technical and audacious, The John McEnroe Project is characterized by an entirely skeletonized movement, graphic lines, and monochromes tones. A distinctive feature of this unique timepiece, the crown has been repositioned to the left, so that John “Lefty” can continue to wear it during his games without risking injury.

THE BEZEL

The steel bezel displays a tungsten insert for a perfect harmony.

THE DATE DISC

The original date disc has been replaced by a polished sapphire piece enriched by the transferring. An extremely meticulous work requiring a perfect balance between know-how and technicality.

THE CASE

The horns of the case are angled at 45 degrees, the bevels are polished while the band is satin-finished. The bottom of the case is sandblasted. An elegant and delicate work magnifying each element.

Skeleton 3135
Movement

the 3135 movement was reworked entirely with extreme precision. The skeleton is cut, beveled and finished by hand. We have added under the date window a luminescence material: luminova to allow a precise reading of time in the dark.
Engineering work of art that required hundreds of hours of work to maintain the technical and functional features of the original version while offering a unique aesthetic.

The Craftsmen’s
View

“My father was a great admirer of John McEnroe. He didn’t miss any of his games. All my childhood, I was surrounded by this passion. His personality, immense talent and character have been as much a source of inspiration as his ongoing quest for perfection. Thank you, dad.”

JOHN ISAAC. CREATIVE DIRECTOR
