Does spending an afternoon ensconced in a private, futuristic pod with products from Bose, Loewe and Ad Notam as good company appeal to you? You can do just that – and more – at the brand new Atlas Experience Audio Visual Boutique at TripleOne Somerset.

The double storey space, serviced by its own private elevator, is the flagship showroom of premium audio-visual retailer and distributor, Atlas Sound & Vision.

Slip into the “True-to-Life” Bose theatre and witness cutting-edge video and audio from the luxurious comfort of the Ferrari Red auditorium Pitagora chairs from Poltrona Frau. Explore the “Loewe Tunnel” – the first of its kind – which is a stylish corridor lined with the latest sleek, high-definition televisions from the German brand.

The rest of the showroom is, in itself, a world of pure escapism. It resembles a club – bold colours and sharp, angled planes give off an energetic vibe. Throughout, high-end products offer “sound and vision that inspires”.

Atlas has pulled out all the stops in the creation of this flagship showroom. This is truly a space where technology harmonises with design and comfort, delivering a holistic experience for all to indulge in.

If you seek a spot of seclusion in overcrowded Bali, you may want to check out Alila Villas Soori – a brand new luxurious property off the beaten tourist track.

The establishment’s location along the south-west coast of the Tabanan Regency ensures guests stay far from the madding crowd. The 48 villas, designed by Singapore-based SCDA Architects, fit seamlessly with the West Bali landscape. Guests can admire vistas of the Indian Ocean or the volcanic Mount Batukaru on the distant horizon from their accommodation. The ruins of the magnificent Tabanan palace lie behind the resort, while charming black sand beaches and rice fields also add to the charm of the place.

The pampering continues. If you can drag yourself out of your room, Soori’s leisure concierge will arrange an experience tailored to your interests. You could take dance classes with the locals at the nearby Abiantuwung village or study Balinese terracotta at another, if you so fancy. Or, explore the area saddled up on an Australian horse from a stable opened by descendants of the royal family.

With the resort less than an hour’s drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport, you won’t be in much of a rush to leave.

Cartier’s first in-house automatic movement, the calibre 1904 MC, premiered at SIHH earlier this year. It is a nod to the brand’s century of watchmaking, and a decisive mark of Cartier’s horological expertise.

All set to become equally iconic is the Calibre de Cartier, a men’s watch and the first timepiece to house the 1904 MC. It is classically handsome, with subtle design cues that single it out as a watch for the 21st century.

The robust case, snailed dial emblazoned with Roman numerals, slender sword-shaped hands and alligator leather strap communicate timeless elegance. The interplay of polished and satin-finished surfaces on the case, and the slight curvature of the horns for a better wrist fit indicate a contemporary approach to design.

Available in steel, rose gold, or a combination of both, the Calibre de Cartier is a striking addition to any wrist. And it’s not just a pretty face – a sapphire crystal caseback shows off the whirring movement embellished with Cotes de Geneve, beating a rhythm of excellence that is pure Cartier at heart.
