Independent watchmaking has always thrived at the edge of invention, where craft, vision, and technical daring meet. Few contemporary maisons capture that spirit quite as vividly as Vanguart, a brand that in less than a decade has carved a path into Haute Horlogerie with a rare combination of pedigree, precision, and imagination. Founded in 2017 by an exceptional quartet: Chairman Mehmet Koruturk (private equity and F1), CEO Axel Leuenberger (formerly APRP R&D), Chief Technical Officer Jérémy Freléchox (an APRP veteran of 15 years), and Creative Director Thierry Fischer (renowned watch designer), Vanguart is the sum of extraordinary parts.

Some scientific missions arrive quietly and then never let go. They take root in the daily rhythm of a laboratory, in the conversations between researchers, in the decisions made behind closed doors. Over time they become part of the identity of a place. At the Baruch S. Blumberg Institute, the ambition to cure Hepatitis B is one of those missions. It is patient, determined and deeply human, carried by people who believe that even the most difficult diseases can be overcome when the right science, leadership and community come together. Robert Christmas, Chief Operating Officer of the Hepatitis B Foundation,…

There are moments in the evolution of an industry when ambition, resolve, and national momentum converge. Saudi Arabia’s mining sector is in precisely that phase, and few companies embody the seriousness and scale of this new era quite like AMAK. Under the leadership of CEO Geoff Day, the company has spent the last year expanding its operational footprint, accelerating exploration and hardwiring itself into the long-term goals of Vision 2030, while demonstrating the discipline and transparency expected from a fully listed public company on Tadawul. What emerges is the portrait of a miner that is not content with incremental progress.…

Data as the New Foundation Construction has always relied on information, but digital tools are turning raw data into a strategic asset. With vast amounts of project information now captured in real time, companies can…

Although still relatively small in absolute size, with an estimated 33.7 million scheduled seats forecast for 2025,…

Each one offers its own distinct character, from artisanal ornaments and hand-carved wooden toys to indulgent festive delicacies. The stalls are thoughtfully arranged, inviting visitors to wander slowly, browse, and savour the atmosphere. Even on the chilliest evenings, the markets…
