Saunders and Long’s ‘The Long Weekender’

The brainchild of London salon Lockonego founder Jonny Long and film producer Nick Saunders, this industry-first product was expertly crafted with Steve Musumeci, who was chief chemist at Kiehl’s and Bumble & Bumble. The trio’s hero product is “The Long Weekender” – a five-in-one shampoo, conditioner, body wash, shaving cream and styling cream. A soft shaving foam is created by applying the product in circular movements to the skin; a small amount applied to dry hair helps achieve a weightless finish while simultaneously nourishing and grooming the hair. As essential as travelling with your passport.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon Extra-Thin 41mm

Gerald Genta’s design for Audemars Piguet has stood the test of time – the Tourbillon addition a fitting (and very expensive) refresh to the 48-year-old icon. Powered by Audemars Piguet’s in-house calibre 2924, it is 4.46mm thick, beats at 3Hz and boasts a pretty decent 70-hour power reserve so you can spend less time manual winding, and more time bragging at Nammos Mykonos that your watch is the only Royal Oak Tourbillon Extra Flat to be produced in the combination of rose-gold and steel.

How To Read The Night Sky, by W.S Kals

“Is this just the kind of pretentious bullshit Americans always say to French girls, so they can sleep with them?” “God, sorry. Thought I was doing pretty good.” As much as we commend Leo’s efforts in The Beach, he would have done extra well if he’d read Kals’ hugely engaging book on how to read the night sky. From how to find north using Polaris, to identifying the super constellations, this 150-page book will give you a lifetime of joy should you ever find yourself under the night sky – alone or with company.
