From Sci-Fi to Reality: The Latest Transportation Revolution//
Technology has continually turned science fiction dreams into reality, and these developments are at the forefront of innovation.

The future of luxury travel cannot be entirely determined by consulting firms, think tanks, or research institutes, although these groups can give us an idea of what we are to expect in the near (and distant) future. A fixture of our engineering efforts and imagination, flying cars have been depicted in popular culture and science fiction films for decades. Until recently, with the advent of electric cars, artificial intelligence, and smart technology, most of us have not truly been able to fathom the idea of having automobiles with wings or propellers floating above our heads on our daily commutes to work.

Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic took members to the edge of space. Elon Musk transported astronauts successfully to the ISS through SpaceX, and Jeff Bezos shuttled himself, along with others, out of the atmosphere in his own Blue Origin spacecraft – all in 2021. These conquests cultivate hope for extra-terrestrial travel, but what about development in our own airspace?
The introduction of drones gave us a glimpse of what restrictions we can expect, the partitioning of airspace, and the efficacy of integrating futuristic travel methods in society.

Hidden in Horology: Fine Jewelry and Secret Timepieces //
Lifting the mouth of a serpent has never been this tantalizing!

A magnificent new trend has (re)-emerged in watchmakers’ ranks. Disguising a watch face as an article of jewelry may seem a bit impractical when it comes to the conventional usage of timepieces; however, these brands have found a way to turn horology into opulence.

SHELBY | Cobra (1962-1967)
It is difficult to mention iconic vintage cars without mentioning the AC Cobra. Sharing production between the UK and the US, AC Cars was tasked with the challenge of developing a vehicle that could be modified to contain a V8 engine. This trial was proposed by Texas native Caroll Shelby, a retired race car driver, and automotive designer. Ultimately, AC Cars ended up using Ford Motors’ latest lightweight invention, the Windsor 3.6-litre engine, and the rest is history.
