When it comes to celebrating life's moments of triumph and joy, few beverages can match the elegance and sophistication of champagne. And if you appreciates the finer things in life, then Champagne Piper-Heidsieck is a brand you should have on your radar. With a legacy dating back to 1785, this French champagne house has been producing extraordinary champagnes for over two centuries, captivating the palates of connoisseurs around the world.

Piper-Heidsieck's Rich History

The art of champagne making is a meticulous process that requires a delicate balance of expertise, innovation, and passion. Piper-Heidsieck has mastered this art to perfection. One of their hallmarks is their unique blends, crafted from a harmonious combination of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay grapes. It's no wonder that they have received numerous accolades and awards for their superior craftsmanship.

To truly appreciate Piper-Heidsieck, it's important to delve into the rich history of the champagne house. Founded in 1785 by Florens-Louis Heidsieck, a German businessman who settled in France, the company initially operated under the name Heidsieck & Co. With a passion for viticulture and a belief in the art of blending, Heidsieck created the Piper-Heidsieck brand in 1839, setting the stage for the champagne house's enduring legacy.

Over the years, Piper-Heidsieck has gained worldwide acclaim for its distinctive fresh, elegant, and harmonious taste. It has become a symbol of luxury and celebration, making appearances at prestigious events such as the Cannes Film Festival. Savoring a glass of Piper-Heidsieck is like indulging in a piece of history and immersing oneself in the refined elegance of a bygone era.

A new Era for the Maison

While many chief winemakers have been instrumental in shaping the legacy of Piper-Heidsieck, the brand's future lies in the capable hands of Émilien Boutillat, who joined the family in October 2018 as the chef de cave. At a young age, Émilien has already garnered extensive experience working with renowned champagne houses such as Armand de Brignac. His exposure to diverse winemaking practices across the globe has enriched his skills and expertise, making him the perfect successor to carry forward the Piper-Heidsieck tradition of excellence.

Émilien has now also infused his expertise into the creation of the Essentiel Blanc de Noirs. By blending the distinct qualities of Pinot Noir and Meunier grapes, he reinterprets the Champagne-making tradition with audacious expressions. With delicate freshness and unparalleled skill, Émilien captures the essence of the unconventional while respecting the House's storied identity.

Piper-Heidsieck Essentiel Blanc de Noirs

With the introduction of the Essentiel Blanc de Noirs, Piper-Heidsieck pays homage to its legacy while embarking on an exciting new chapter. This cuvée stands as a testament to the House's commitment to both tradition and innovation. Tasting Piper-Heidsieck's first ever Blanc de Blancs lets us embarking on a sensory adventure. From the delicate notes of yellow fruits that evolve into the rich hues of red and black fruits, to the intriguing accents of smoky honey and paprika, each sip is a symphony of flavors. This cuvée's crisp generosity on the palate, guided by citrus and raspberry undertones, culminates in a finish that is both rounded and tension-filled. Aged for three years with an Extra Brut dosage, the Essentiel Blanc de Blancs unveils a wide array of pairing possibilities to enhance your culinary experiences.

Through the Piper-Heidsieck Essentiel Blanc de Blancs, the House not only introduces a new Champagne but also invites us to explore the delicate balance between history and innovation, tradition and sustainability. With each bottle, a legacy is honored, a terroir celebrated, and a promise to craft a future that embraces both the art of winemaking and the responsibility to our environment.

In the world of men's fashion, finding accessories that strike the right balance between style and functionality can be a challenge. However, the Epic X Chrono 44MM by Jacob & Co. effortlessly blends the best of both worlds, making it a true statement-piece for the modern gentleman. Let's get hands-on while taking a boat for a spin on Lake Geneva!

Signature X-shaped Lugs and Dial Appliqués

At the heart of the Epic X collection lies an unmistakable design, characterized by its contemporary flair. Each timepiece is a work of art, expertly combining traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge materials, resulting in a truly epic aesthetic that stands out from the crowd. The Epic X Chrono 44MM is no exception. It boasts the signature X-shaped lugs and dial appliqués that define the collection's identity. Its intricate case design adds to its unique appeal and incomparable feel.

One cannot help but admire the smoked mineral crystal dial and case-back. It provides a tantalizing glimpse into the exclusive JCAA05 chronograph caliber and its exquisite finishing details. We really like that this smaller case size, compared to the 47-mm versions, opens up the Epic X Chrono to a broader audience. Now more people can appreciate the brand's design features in a universally wearable, definitely unisex format.

The Fascination of Chronographs

Chronographs have always been highly sought-after complications in the world of watchmaking. For us, the appeal lies in the unique interactivity they offer, allowing wearers to use the watch not just to read the time but also to measure it. The Epic X Chrono 44MM features two pushers on the side of the case, a balanced bi-compax dial, and crown-guards on the left-side for ultimate design balance. This timepiece beckons you to explore its functions and form a special, tactile connection with it.

Exquisite Craftsmanship at Jacob & Co.

At the heart of the Epic X Chrono timepieces ticks the mesmerizing JCAA05 caliber. This 260-component masterpiece showcases refined movement decorations on the bridges, self-winding rotor, mainspring barrel, and column wheel. Speaking of the column wheel, it's this beautifully hand-finished component that controls the functioning of the chronograph mechanism inside the Epic X Chrono 44MM. It governs the start, stop, and reset functions, proudly displayed on the case-back side of the JCAA05.

Again, the attention to detail is awe-inspiring. Beveled and polished edges on the bridges, perlage circular graining, and the open-worked construction of the mainspring barrel—all impeccably executed to create a harmonious and captivating timekeeping marvel.

Bold Design and Technical Prowess

Beyond its technical prowess, the Epic X Chrono 44MM is a bold and stylish accessory. The 44-mm wide and 14-mm thick case exudes confidence, and its water resistance up to 200 meters showcases its robust architecture. Its white ceramic bezel, wrapped crowns, and angular pushers further elevate its allure, adding distinctive dashes of color and a superior tactile experience.

The blue-tinted mineral crystal dial is yet another eye-catching detail, providing a window into the JCAA05 caliber from the front. This intriguing touch enhances the watch's technical side, making it all the more captivating.

Contemporary Aesthetics

The skeletonized hands with Super-LumiNova luminescent tips not only make reading the time effortless in any light but also add a touch of modernity to the watch's overall design. The bâton-shaped hands dedicated to the chronograph timing indication serve as a reminder of the timepiece's functionality.

In our opinion, the Epic X Chrono 44MM is more than just a watch; it's an extraordinary fusion of style and substance. Whether you're heading to the office, spend a day on the lake, or attend a formal occasion, this timepiece effortlessly adapts to your lifestyle. Embrace the allure of this iconic creation and let the world know that you're not just wearing a watch; you're making a bold fashion statement with the Epic X Chrono 44MM.

Château Galoupet presents its second vintage since embracing organic farming, following the resounding success of the Château Galoupet Cru Classé Rosé 2021. The latest vintage, crafted entirely from estate-grown vines, is a complex, full-bodied Rosé de Provence boasting a refined mineral finish and remarkable aging potential. Let's discover the magic of Château Galoupet's second vintage since transitioning to Organic Cultivation!

An Exceptional Rosé de Provence

Located in an environmentally conscious and forward-looking estate, Château Galoupet encompasses 77 hectares of protected forest and 69 hectares of certified organic vineyards. It boasts three distinct micro-terroirs and a unique microclimate shaped by the winds blowing between the Massif des Maures, the ancient salterns of Hyères, and the "Golden Islands" off the Côte d'Azur.

Recognized as a Cru Classé de Provence since 1955, the estate traces its roots back to an 18th-century map and lies within the geologically oldest area of the appellation. As a burgeoning biodiversity sanctuary, housing diverse native plants and animals, the team at Château Galoupet strives to produce increasingly refined expressions of the terroir while respecting nature and the environment to the fullest.

The 2021 vintage presented its challenges, but given the weather conditions of 2022, this second vintage rosé is truly a marvel. Due to extremely high temperatures, the grapes ripened ten days earlier than in 2021, leading to an unprecedented early start and end to the harvest in the month of August. However, the harvest was suddenly interrupted by a severe hailstorm, an event not seen on the estate for two decades.

Nevertheless, thanks to rigorous micro-selection from 39 organically cultivated plots and meticulous vinification in 600-liter French oak barrels, the wine reveals different aspects of the terroir. Compared to the 2021 vintage, it is equally expressive, boasting the same well-structured mouthfeel, a long, mineral finish, and intriguing aging potential.

Château Galoupet Cru Classé Rosé 2022

The Aroma: Generous and vibrant, with notes of apricot, wild peach, and complex pastry aromas.

The Palate: Full-bodied, opulent, and intense, with delicate notes of fresh flowers, yellow fruits, almonds, and sweet spices, followed by a touch of honey. A long, complex, and mineral finish.

Blend: Grenache (58%), Tibouren (12%), Syrah (11%), Rolle (11%), Cinsault (6%), Sémillon (2%).

Cellaring Potential: 2-4 years.

At Artworth we believe that the Château Galoupet Cru Classé Rosé 2022 is a truly exceptional wine that harmoniously captures the essence of the estate's unique terroir and organic winemaking philosophy. With its impressive complexity, luxurious mouthfeel, and the promise of graceful aging, it is the perfect companion for moments of indulgence and celebration.

Throughout the meticulous fermentation, distillation, and aging processes, a harmonious blend of heritage and craft comes together in every batch of Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum. The result is a spirit infused with the true essence of Jamaica, bearing the mark of a legacy dating back back to 1749.

Her influence extends to the very limited edition introduced to us today – the 17 Year Old Legend. A culmination of decades of blending experience, this rare gem beautifully embodies the spirit of Appleton Estate.

Appleton Estate - The 17 Year Old Legend

Created with a unique care, the 17 Year Old Legend pays homage to the historic rum used in the original Mai Tai back in 1944. Joy Spence expertly recreated this legendary profile using four exceedingly rare 100% pot still distillates, which were aged to perfection in just ten carefully selected casks at the Appleton Estate. With only 1,500 bottles crafted globally, the Legend is a testament to the dedication and passion that defines the essence of Appleton Estate.

A Must-Have for Rum Connoisseurs

For those who appreciate rum and collectors alike, the Appleton Estate 17 Year Old Legend is a remarkable treasure, destined to be a cherished addition to any discerning collection. Its exquisite taste, nuanced flavors, and limited availability make it an extraordinary experience that should not be missed.

When art and champagne come together, it's a match made in heaven. The renowned Champagne house Ruinart is proud to present "Promenade(s) en Champagne" by Eva Jospin at Art Basel in Basel. This unique exhibition invites you to embark on a journey through the rich landscapes, history, and craftsmanship of the Montagne de Reims region. All beautifully depicted through the artistic vision of Eva Jospin, a French sculptor. Join us as we take you on a virtual tour of this extraordinary collaboration, celebrating the beauty of the terroir and the craftsmanship involved in creating exceptional wines.

Embark on a Champagne Promenade

Imagine taking a leisurely stroll through the picturesque Champagne region, immersing yourself in its breathtaking landscapes, hidden rituals, and the intertwined vines glistening under the sun. Ruinart's "Promenade(s) en Champagne" exhibition captures the essence of this experience, allowing you to feel a profound connection with the land and its evolution over time.

As the guest artist for Ruinart's Carte Blanche 2023, Eva Jospin presents her interpretation of the Maison's terroir. She perceives the Montagne de Reims as a cross-section of geographical and temporal layers, both real and imaginary. Inspired by the region's richness and historical significance, from the deep-lying crayères (chalk cellars) to the intertwined vine roots, from the coronation of French kings in the Reims Cathedral to Ruinart's elevation to nobility, Jospin invites us to explore this mystical world where history, vegetation cycles, life, and creation intertwine.

A Stop on Art Basel's World Tour

Following its opening event in Paris earlier this year, the Carte Blanche exhibition by Ruinart travels the world, revealing itself to art enthusiasts across different continents. In June 2023, Art Basel in Basel serves as the next destination for this remarkable exhibition.

As part of the global journey, Carte Blanche offers a gastronomic and artistic interpretation through the "Food for Art" program. Eva Jospin collaborates with local chefs, bringing together the culinary delights of the region with her artwork. It's a unique sensory experience that tantalizes both the palate and the imagination. In Basel, she teams up with Les Trois Rois. Here, tables are spectacularly set for the occasion: a setting of history, encounter and conviviality. It's an experience that combines art and gastronomy to celebrate the aesthetics of craftsmanship - in the kitchen, in the wine cellar or in the artistic creation.

Carmontelle by Eva Jospin

At the heart of this year's Carte Blanche exhibition lies Eva Jospin's sculptural landscape, meticulously crafted using her preferred medium - cardboard. Her installation comprises a series of masterpieces, reliefs, drawings, and embroideries arranged around a Carmontelle, reminiscent of the 18th-century era when Ruinart was founded. The Carmontelle, an invention of the Enlightenment era, serves as the narrative architecture of Carte Blanche. It unfolds a story without words, drawing connections between underground crayères, vineyards, nature, architecture, and the artist's handiwork in the studio, mirroring the intricate processes involved in champagne production. The intertwining motif echoes the vine tendrils, symbolizing the sublime connection between these two worlds.

Eva Jospin's "chefs-d'œuvre" are cardboard sculptures that invite us to explore the region in miniature. These intricate pieces, displayed on two levels, juxtapose representations of natural landscapes with architectural forms, paying homage to the historical crayères. The sculptures captivate with tiny staircases that lead us deep into Ruinart's cellars.

The History of Dormeuil

Dormeuil was founded in 1842 by Jules Dormeuil, who at the age of 22, decided to import the finest English cloth to France. He was soon joined by his brothers, August and Alfred, and together, they worked tirelessly to establish a reputation for selecting the most beautiful raw materials that the world could offer.

As watch enthusiasts, we're always on the lookout for the next game-changing creation that will propel the industry forward. In a world of ever-expanding horological wonders, it's often the pursuit of innovation and fresh ideas that make a timepiece stand out the most. The Swiss brand Horage definitely ticks a lot of boxes in that regard: let’s have a closer look at the newly released Lensman 2!

A Watch for Photographers

Photography is one of our biggest passions here at Artworth - and the idea of combining watchmaking with photography is without a doubt very intriguing to us. The Lensman 2 by Biel/Bienne based Horage is equipped with a very unique Bezel that functions as an exposure calculator, combining the two worlds in a way that has never been done before. An impressive ISO and aperture range is offered on the bi-directional bezel for quick referencing between your shots. This allows the watch to show you the optimal values for your camera when the markings on the bezel are aligned with your current lighting conditions. Fascinating, no?

This highly innovative function reinvents the definition of a modern daily tool watch in our eyes. The watch satisfies both form and function and gives off old-school vintage vibes, while maintaining a sleek and clean overall look and feel. In addition to the unique Bezel, the watch also features a GMT 24 hour jump set. This is ideal for photographers exploring the globe, keeping track of multiple time zones.

A Look inside the Horage Lensman 2

Of course, as you would expect from a Horage timepiece, the heart of the watch doesn’t disappoint either: The in-house K2 micro-rotor is accompanied by a 24-hour GMT module that packs a strong 72 hour power reserve. This highly sophisticated movement is also properly protected: both the crown as well as the case itself are made from polished grade 5 titanium to make sure the COSC Chronometer Certified timepiece won't be damaged.

At Artworth, we love the Horage Lensman 2 for multiple reasons. It's a timepiece that visually and functionally reinvents the definition of what a true modern-day tool watch can and should be. We’re convinced that anyone with a strong passion for either photography or watchmaking will fall in love with the Lensman 2, just as we did!

To learn more about Horage, read this article about our visit at their manufacture in Biel/Bienne.

Which complication is the most useful in a dive watch? We would argue having a GMT is pretty helpful since many of us travel to exotic places to explore the colorful underwater world. Mido, the pioneer of watertight cases in the early 1930s, offers now exactly that. To celebrate the 75th anniversary of their iconic Ocean Star collection, the Swiss brand is launching a dive watch with GMT and even worldtimer function. Let's have a closer look at the Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer!

Mido Ocean Star Decompession Worldtimer

At Artworth we love vintage inspired timepieces. And the versatile neo-vintage diver watch by Mido is right up our alley! With an eye-catching color-scheme inspired by the 1960s, the Ocean Star Skin Diver comes with a contemporary case size of 40.5mm. To highlight the vintage look, the top of the case is fitted with a box-shaped sapphire crystal that is nicely complemented by a solid screw-down stainless steel case back.

Although most people will wear the Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer as "desk diver", it was developed for scuba diving. Equipped with a decompression scale, the watch helps divers plan their surface intervals. This was an incredibly impressive feature at the time of its predecessor’s release in the 1960s and made the Ocean Star world-famous among divers. Today, Mido has updated the watch with a Nivachron balance spring. It protects the timepiece from magnetism.

Mido - King of Waterproof

Inside the watch, the ETA-based Mido Cal. 80 GMT movement is ticking away. It offers an independently adjustable local hour hand. What is impressive about the Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer is certainly the price. At CHF 1'270, it is one of the most affordable GMT watches out there. On top of that, the watch also comes with a second strap included that can be changed at the click of a button.

Another impressive feature that makes this watch stand out is its legendary monocoque case that has been in production since 1959. Mido’s reputation as the “King of Waterproof” watches originates from this case model and of course their Aquadura System. The honorable reputation certainly doesn’t disappoint with the Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer either: Mido guarantees complete water resistance, even if the crown is not fully pushed in. This security is given by its innovative gasket system which uses a natural cork to seal the crown winding stem.

For us, the playful Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer is a great vintage-inspired dive watch that will make every traveler happy. The bidirectional rotating bezel which displays the names of different cities around the globe makes for a useful watch. In addition, the decompression scale makes the watch pop and will make heads turn.

London is a city that never fails to impress. With its vibrant culture, rich history, and unmatched fashion scene, it's no surprise that it's a top destination for many travelers. Recently, we visited the city to host our 6th Artworth at Bucherer event, the first one in the United Kingdom.

Exploring London

Our stay started with a good breakfast at White Mulberries at Hay's Galleria. In a city filled with incredible coffee shops and breakfast places, there is a lot to be discovered. White Mulberries has long been a favorite of ours because it obviously serves great coffee but has also an incredible banana bread on the menu.

After getting our coffee fix, it was time for some meetings around town. Driving around with the new Range Rover, we got to see some of the famous sights as well. It is impressive to see how the the City of London is ever evolving.

Luckily, some things don't change. For example the Big Benn and Westminster Abbey. Historical buildings like these never fail to impress us! Which is your favorite sight in London? Send us a message and let us know.

Scarfes Bar at Rosewood London

We decided to stay at the Rosewood Hotel during our trip to London. This luxury hotel is centrally located, in the city's Holborn neighborhood, and is renowned for its Scarfes Bar, which boasts an impressive selection of rare spirits.

One evening, we headed to the bar, where we met Martin Siska, a talented mixologist who crafted a delicious cocktail with cognac by Rémy Martin. We were thoroughly impressed with his expertise and enjoyed our drinks immensely.

Offering drawing room conviviality and gentleman’s club sophistication, this bar gives true meaning to the phrase ‘get scarfed’. A roaring fireplace and shelves filled with over 1,000 antique books complete the classy atmosphere. We were particularly impressed with the selection of fine and rare spirits available. The perfect time and place to enjoy a glass of Rémy Martin XO and play chess!

Artworth at Bucherer

After Paris and Munich, London was the third event we organized outside of Switzerland. As usual, guests had the opportunity to discover rare Bucherer Certified Pre-Owned models by Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, and many more. Centrally located, the Bucherer boutique in Covent Garden was the perfect location to host this event!

We were thrilled with the turnout and enjoyed sharing our knowledge of mechanical watches and men's fashion with the attendees. Fielding & Nichols made sure that the guests got a good idea about the latest seasonal fabrics by Dormeuil. Meanwhile, Rémy Martin treated the attendees to some nice cocktails throughout the evening as well as hosting an exclusive XO tasting.

Our week in London was once more a fantastic experience. We relished exploring the city's fashion scene, trying new coffee shops, and learning more about the city's rich history. Co-hosting the event at Bucherer was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip, and we were delighted to share our passion for Swiss timepieces with fellow enthusiasts.
