Rolex has spent a century pretending the secondary market doesn't exist, so it was bloody strange watching Aurel Bacs hammer down four one-off Daytonas at Phillips in London on Monday night for a combined US$49.4 million.
The Four Seasons collection was Rolex's first ever charity auction, with every dollar going to the Federer Foundation and Leonardo DiCaprio's Re:wild. Each watch pairs a precious metal case with a natural stone dial and a serious amount of gem-setting, and Rolex has confirmed

What Rolex’s US$49.4 Million Daytona Auction Means For The Watch In Your Safe

You Can Now Sleep In A Retired Private Jet For Less Than A 5-Star Hotel
via dmarge.com
Flying private usually requires a net worth with a lot of zeroes, a charter membership and a thick skin when it comes to carbon emissions. On an industrial estate on the outskirts of Bristol, England, there's a far cheaper way to tick it off the list, provided you don't mind that the plane isn't going anywhere.
It's called PytchAir, and it's a 1960s Boeing 727 that local entrepreneur Johnny Palmer has turned into a 1,000 square foot short-stay rental, perched on a stack of shipping containers a -
Lando Norris Swaps The Halo For A Lie-Flat In Etihad’s New Business Class Campaign
via dmarge.com
Lando Norris spends his weekends strapped into a carbon fibre tub at north of 300km/h, so it tracks that when the reigning Formula 1 world champion finally gets to sit down on a plane, he wants a seat that goes flat.
Norris is fronting new Etihad Airways campaign imagery built around the airline's Business Class cabin. The hero shot shows him reclined in a sand-coloured quarter-zip, a glass of something fizzy with a slice of lemon in hand, gazing out the window like a man who hasn't queued at a -
Every Taylor Sheridan Show Ranked, From Cowboy Masterpiece To Absolute Dud
via dmarge.com
There was a time when Taylor Sheridan was just the bloke who wrote Sicario and Hell or High Water. Now he basically is Paramount+, a one-man content factory pumping out Stetsons, shootouts and slow-burn family feuds at a rate that would make a Netflix algorithm blush.
The numbers are ridiculous. According to Parrot Analytics figures reported by Forbes, Sheridan's shows have generated around US$800 million for Paramount+ once you factor in subscriber growth and retention, with Mayor of Kingstown -
The Laver Cup Crowd In London Looked More Like The Met Gala Than A Tennis Match
via dmarge.com
You can tell a lot about the health of a sport by who bothers to turn up and watch it. Judging by the front rows at the 2026 Laver Cup in London this weekend, tennis is doing just fine, thanks.
Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted at the O2 Arena alongside Roger Federer, the man who dreamed up the team event in the first place and who has settled into retirement as the most charming host in the game. Anna Wintour, who has never knowingly missed a Federer occasion, was there too.
The ATP has put togeth
