Breguet, the innovator.
   Invention of the Breguet balance spring, 1795
   The balance spring gives time rhythm and sets its rate – the key to a
   watch’s precision. With its many patented innovations, the Tradition
   7047PT with fusee tourbillon pushes the limits of precision time-keeping
   by combining the accuracy of the Breguet balance-spring’s terminal
   curve, conceived in 1795, and the anti-magnetic properties of silicon.

EDITOR’S LETTER




                                         In the summertime, when the weather is high... you can stretch right
                                         out on the sun deck with an ice-cold cocktail and a good magazine. The July/August edition of Harrods
                                         Magazine is an unmissable holiday read, bringing together the key trends of the upcoming season from
                                         the world of fashion, as well as fragrance, food and furniture.
                                            Autumn starts with a wardrobe rethink. Perhaps in response to last season’s flashy ’80s aesthetic,
                                         this season sees a revival of ’90s grunge in womenswear (p62) – albeit with a far more glamorous edge.
                                         Layering up a patchwork of textures and fabrics in the great grunge tradition, autumn’s most relaxed
                                         trend mixes prints with gothic shapes, subtle military references with a strong shoulder. Sophisticates,
                                         on the other hand, will enjoy the Mad Men influence that has inspired a strict yet demure silhouette,
                                         as well as a new love affair with lace. For a full breakdown of the major new-season looks, see our
                                         Autumn/Winter 2010 preview by Jess Cartner-Morley (p56).
                                            On the other side of the gender divide, menswear cleverly combines dressing up with dressing down
                                         (p72). The trend for formal tailoring, begun by the likes of Thom Browne, has made new ground this
                                         season as suiting is paired with T-shirting, turned-up jeans and hard-as-nails boots. Military details also
                                         feature in shearling flying jackets and swinging khaki officer coats; knitwear becomes less slouchy and
                                         more structured; and a tartan army of plaids and checks takes over all manner of casual separates.
                                         Elsewhere in the issue, find the latest looks in tabletop dressing (p95), delicious recipes using Aberdeen
                                         Angus beef, and the best indulgent adventures around the world (p103).

                                         Take a trip to Harrods...
                                                        go out and see what you can find

                                                     By Laura Jordan  Ben Felsenburg




                   DESIGNER: Phillip Lim
                   Phillip Lim has a flair for designing must-have womenswear that attracts enviable waiting lists.
                   Hard-to-please hipsters, for example, adore his now-signature pea coats. Lim’s date for this year’s
                   Met Costume Institute Gala was Alexa Chung, the poster girl for effortless cool, who wore an
                   elegantly androgynous 3.1 Phillip Lim tuxedo. Since 2007, Lim has been quietly applying his Midas
                   touch to menswear – and is now starting to turn heads. His cornerstone is dedication to quality.
                   “Men are less forgiving when it comes to fit than women. It’s very important to get the tailoring
                   right…it’s about subtleties, the unusual details on a familiar style.” The AW10 collection is based
                   on utilitarian outdoorwear, and is given an urban polish with a sleek cut and luxe fabrics. The coats
                   are the stars of the collection. Lim’s favourite piece is the motorcycle leather jacket. “I have one

                   in brown; the leather is amazing and it goes with just about everything.” So who is the Phillip Lim
                   man? “He has a sense of urban elegance. He is cool because he just is, not because he is trying to
                   be. I would say he is the kindred spirit of the 3.1 Phillip Lim girl – cool, easy, chic.”

     Tara Donovan or Tim Burton?                                    Easy cardigan, because it goes with everything.

     Travel books or fashion books?                                 Planes are the most efficient.

     Minimalism or maximalism?                                      Tradition or innovation?
     Maximalism is more glamorous.                                  Innovation. I’m always looking to push the envelope.
     American or Taiwanese cooking?                                 Simple or complicated?
     Taiwanese food is what I grew up on, especially from the       Complicated – I enjoy taking on new challenges.

 YEARS IN THE
(WATCH)MAKING
      Standing the test of time takes on a whole
        new meaning as Baume  Mercier dips
          into the archive for its latest collection
                                         Since 1830, Baume 
                                         Mercier has distinguished
                                         itself with the incredible
                                         innovation of its watches
                                         – a legacy that today
                                         arms the brand with 180
                                         years’ expertise.
                          In the 1890s, the mark of true horological
                       excellence was to win the world’s most
                       famous chronometry competition, held at
                       the Kew Observatory. It was a competition
                       at which the Baume Maison was repeatedly
                       successful, winning the Absolute Precision
                       Record for its keyless chronometer with
                       tourbillon escapement in 1892.
                          Paying tribute to this heritage, Baume
                        Mercier is revisiting the complications
                       of its past by launching the William Baume
                       Collection. Each timepiece has been
                       singled out for its own special connection
                       to the brand’s history. The Single
                       Push-Piece Chronograph is inspired by a
                       function first established in 1938, and uses
                       a single pusher to start, stop and reset
                       short times. The 6.2mm Ultra Thin reflects
                       Baume  Mercier’s ongoing dedication to
                       creating sensationally slim and elegant
                       timepieces. And the new Retrograde Second
                       (left) has a retrograde function that counts
                       off 30-second intervals across a graduated
                       arc of a circle before jumping backwards
                       to its starting point. Today Baume 
                       Mercier is held in as high regard as ever.

  • 18. EDITOR’S LETTER In the summertime, when the weather is high... you can stretch right out on the sun deck with an ice-cold cocktail and a good magazine. The July/August edition of Harrods Magazine is an unmissable holiday read, bringing together the key trends of the upcoming season from the world of fashion, as well as fragrance, food and furniture. Autumn starts with a wardrobe rethink. Perhaps in response to last season’s flashy ’80s aesthetic, this season sees a revival of ’90s grunge in womenswear (p62) – albeit with a far more glamorous edge. Layering up a patchwork of textures and fabrics in the great grunge tradition, autumn’s most relaxed trend mixes prints with gothic shapes, subtle military references with a strong shoulder. Sophisticates, on the other hand, will enjoy the Mad Men influence that has inspired a strict yet demure silhouette, as well as a new love affair with lace. For a full breakdown of the major new-season looks, see our Autumn/Winter 2010 preview by Jess Cartner-Morley (p56). On the other side of the gender divide, menswear cleverly combines dressing up with dressing down (p72). The trend for formal tailoring, begun by the likes of Thom Browne, has made new ground this season as suiting is paired with T-shirting, turned-up jeans and hard-as-nails boots. Military details also feature in shearling flying jackets and swinging khaki officer coats; knitwear becomes less slouchy and more structured; and a tartan army of plaids and checks takes over all manner of casual separates. Elsewhere in the issue, find the latest looks in tabletop dressing (p95), delicious recipes using Aberdeen Angus beef, and the best indulgent adventures around the world (p103).

  • 26. TOP PICKS PEOPLE PLACES in the air this month By Laura Jordan Ben Felsenburg DESIGNER: Phillip Lim Phillip Lim has a flair for designing must-have womenswear that attracts enviable waiting lists. Hard-to-please hipsters, for example, adore his now-signature pea coats. Lim’s date for this year’s Met Costume Institute Gala was Alexa Chung, the poster girl for effortless cool, who wore an elegantly androgynous 3.1 Phillip Lim tuxedo. Since 2007, Lim has been quietly applying his Midas touch to menswear – and is now starting to turn heads. His cornerstone is dedication to quality. “Men are less forgiving when it comes to fit than women. It’s very important to get the tailoring right…it’s about subtleties, the unusual details on a familiar style.” The AW10 collection is based on utilitarian outdoorwear, and is given an urban polish with a sleek cut and luxe fabrics. The coats are the stars of the collection. Lim’s favourite piece is the motorcycle leather jacket. “I have one Lim Akira Yamada in brown; the leather is amazing and it goes with just about everything.” So who is the Phillip Lim man? “He has a sense of urban elegance. He is cool because he just is, not because he is trying to be. I would say he is the kindred spirit of the 3.1 Phillip Lim girl – cool, easy, chic.” Phillip Lim is available from Men’s Contemporary, Lower Ground Floor

  • 44. PROMOTION YEARS IN THE (WATCH)MAKING Standing the test of time takes on a whole new meaning as Baume Mercier dips into the archive for its latest collection Since 1830, Baume Mercier has distinguished itself with the incredible innovation of its watches – a legacy that today arms the brand with 180 years’ expertise. In the 1890s, the mark of true horological excellence was to win the world’s most famous chronometry competition, held at the Kew Observatory. It was a competition at which the Baume Maison was repeatedly successful, winning the Absolute Precision Record for its keyless chronometer with tourbillon escapement in 1892. Paying tribute to this heritage, Baume Mercier is revisiting the complications of its past by launching the William Baume Collection. Each timepiece has been singled out for its own special connection to the brand’s history. The Single Push-Piece Chronograph is inspired by a function first established in 1938, and uses a single pusher to start, stop and reset short times. The 6.2mm Ultra Thin reflects Baume Mercier’s ongoing dedication to creating sensationally slim and elegant timepieces. And the new Retrograde Second (left) has a retrograde function that counts off 30-second intervals across a graduated arc of a circle before jumping backwards to its starting point. Today Baume Mercier is held in as high regard as ever. Watches, from left Baume Mercier Retrograde Second £8,275, Single Push-Piece Chronograph £18,080 and Ultra Thin £8,075.
