Royal Oak: From Iconoclast to Icon

Debuted in 1972 during the "quartz crisis" and penned by legendary designer Gerald Genta, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak has gone on to be an enormously influential timepiece. It effortlessly blended haute horology and sportiness, with a steel case, the thinnest self-winding mechanical movement available at the time, and a taste-redefining look. From the diver-inspired octagonal bezel and visible screws and gasket to the tapisserie dial, it was soon adopted by trendsetters worldwide, leading to a lasting legacy. This oversized book details both the technical and cultural details of its rise to prominence in the watchmaking world, accompanied by countless illustrations and photographs.

Vita Coco Treats

Launched last April, Vita Coco Treats is a new coconutmilk beverage crafted for those moments when you're in the mood for something light, sweet, and satisfying. Combining the flavors of creamy coconut and sweet strawberries, Vita Coco Treats offers a refreshingly indulgent drink. Instead of flooding "influencers" with free products as promotion, they brought the product to the people this Valentine's Day in the form of a DIY vending machine. Set up in Washington Square Park, New York, it dispensed free Strawberries & Crème Treats to passersby, leading to long lines and an overwhelming response. This fun, natural experience is much like the drink itself, which has ingredients you can pronounce and is likely to leave a smile on your face.
