The numbers speak for themselves: 612 horsepower, 850 Nm of torque, and a 0–100 km/h sprint in just 3.9 seconds, placing the GLE 63 S among the most capable high-performance SUVs on the market. Complementing the engine is a 48-volt mild-hybrid system with an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG), providing additional power, sharper throttle response, smoother starts, and improved efficiency without compromising the unmistakable character of the V8.

One of the most significant engineering upgrades is the introduction of a flat-plane crankshaft, designed to reduce rotating mass and allow the engine to rev more freely while delivering faster, more precise throttle response. Combined with revised fuel injection, optimized intake and exhaust systems, upgraded turbochargers, and advanced emissions technology, the result is a modern V8 engineered for the future without losing its soul.

Upon falling asleep, immediately enter phase 1. This phase lasts approximately 2 to 5 minutes. Phase 2 comes right after and lasts about 30 minutes. Here your temperature decreases, muscles relax, and breathing and heart rates become more regular. Your neurons fire in unison and create waves of activity that navigate the cerebral cortex, accentuated by rapid bursts of neural activity, which experts call sleep spindles.

As you entered phase 3, or slow-wave sleep, the undulating waves increase as your neurons fire in coordination. This phase is where the most profound dreaming occurs and lasts between 20 to 30 minutes.

Afterward, you enter REM (Rapid Eye Motion) sleep, which on a nap lasts between 10 to 20 minutes. In REM, the brain is more active; its activity is similar to the one performed while awake. The end of REM indicates a complete sleep cycle.

The craftsmanship of Asnières

Like Louis Vuitton’s most iconic creations, the Trophy Trunk is handcrafted at the Maison’s historic Asnières workshops, just outside Paris, where generations of artisans continue to preserve the techniques that first defined the brand’s legendary travel trunks.

Its design combines the unmistakable Monogram Canvas with a striking gold “V” motif, symbolizing both Victory and Vuitton. Gold-plated brass corners, locks, and hardware pay tribute to the Maison’s original trunks from the 19th century, while the interior, lined in elegant beige leather, has been specially designed to protect the FIFA World Cup Trophy.

Every detail reflects Louis Vuitton’s enduring philosophy: creating exceptional pieces worthy of life’s most extraordinary moments.

Moving Beyond Surface-Level Self-Care

Created by María Ortiz, author, speaker, mindfulness practitioner, and HeartMath-certified coach, Día Aura is founded on a simple belief: emotional well-being requires more than occasional moments of rest. It also means developing the tools to manage stress, strengthen self-esteem, and build healthier relationships.

Rather than focusing solely on wellness trends, the event explores topics that reflect the realities many women face every day, including emotional regulation, self-love, financial independence, eating disorders, women’s health, conscious relationships, and sustainable personal growth.

A French Chef Who Found a Second Home in Mexico

Born in France, Alexis Preschez trained at the prestigious Institut Paul Bocuse, one of the world’s leading culinary institutions.

He began his professional career in Paris at the renowned kitchen of Guy Savoy, before expanding his international experience in Australia and eventually establishing himself in Mexico.

Today, as Executive Chef of Sofitel Mexico City Reforma, Preschez has developed a culinary philosophy rooted in French precision while embracing Mexico’s extraordinary diversity of seasonal ingredients. That same philosophy now takes center stage at Le Bistro Palacio through this exclusive collaboration.

A Three-Course Journey Through French Cuisine

The experience begins with a glass of Taittinger Champagne, setting the tone for an afternoon inspired by the elegance of French dining.

The first course features a beautifully executed Camembert en Croûte, prepared with locally produced Camembert from Rancho Cuatro Encinos, blue cheese, caramelized onions and criolla pear, accompanied by fresh greens, roasted cherry tomatoes, figs and a whole-grain mustard vinaigrette.

Rich yet remarkably balanced, the dish pairs effortlessly with Maison Castel Rosé d’Anjou AOP, whose bright acidity and delicate fruit notes complement the creamy cheese without overwhelming its character.

A Rare Watchmaking Complication

Unlike most mechanical watches, where the power reserve is displayed in a subdial, Longines developed its own system using rotating discs positioned at the center of the dial.

The result is an intuitive display of the movement’s remaining energy while introducing a dynamic visual element rarely seen in traditional watchmaking. As the watch is wound and the stored energy changes, the rotating discs move progressively, transforming a technical function into a refined design feature.

Victoria: Pacific Coast Elegance

Located on Vancouver Island, Victoria blends British heritage with the laid-back spirit of Canada’s West Coast.

Its picturesque Inner Harbour is home to some of the city’s most iconic attractions, including the Royal BC Museum and Beacon Hill Park, while nearby whale-watching excursions offer visitors the chance to observe marine wildlife in its natural habitat.

With a highly walkable downtown, charming cafés, and beautifully maintained gardens, Victoria is an ideal destination for travelers seeking a sophisticated yet relaxed coastal escape.

The Bag That Changed the Rules

When the FENDI Baguette debuted in the late 1990s, fashion was defined by minimalism. While the era embraced clean lines and understated palettes, FENDI challenged convention with a bag that celebrated vibrant color, exceptional craftsmanship, and bold experimentation with materials.

Designed to be carried effortlessly under the arm—much like a traditional French baguette—it quickly became one of fashion’s most coveted accessories and a statement of personal style. Its cultural status was cemented when Carrie Bradshaw, portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City, delivered one of fashion’s most unforgettable lines: “It’s not a bag, it’s a Baguette.”
