Jean Nouvel's Vision: From the Louvre Abu Dhabi to Luxury Living

Explore the visionary architecture of Jean Nouvel, from the iconic Louvre Abu Dhabi to his masterful approach to luxury living and light-filled spaces.

Fumel, a town on the River Lot in south-west France, is where Jean Nouvel was born on 12 August 1945. As the son of two teachers, architecture was not an obvious path. He failed his first entrance examination for the École des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, then in 1965 won a national competition for a place at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. While still a student he went to work for Claude Parent and Paul Virilio, two of the more radical thinkers in post-war French architecture. By 1970 he had a practice of his own, two years before he formally graduated.

Vacheron Constantin: The Oldest Name in Fine Watchmaking

Discover the history of Vacheron Constantin, the world’s oldest watchmaker in continuous production. Explore 270 years of fine Swiss horological excellence

Jean-Marc Vacheron was 24 when he took on his first apprentice. The contract, drawn up in Geneva on 17 September 1755, is still kept in the maison’s archives, and it is from that modest agreement that Vacheron Constantin dates its foundation. Geneva’s master watchmakers of the period, the cabinotiers, worked in workshops on the upper floors of the city’s houses, where the light was best, and it was in that world that the young Vacheron set up on his own account. The house he founded describes itself as the oldest watch manufacturer in continuous operation since its foundation, a run that reached 270 years in 2025.
