Monaco. The billionaire’s playground. The kleptomaniac’s kryptonite. The ludomaniac’s lair. Superyacht city. Monaco is known as a fabulous place to spend money like wild (and to strut on a treadmill on the deck of your superyacht, whilst watching the F1).

Speaking of which, you might be interested to know how much it costs to moor a superyacht in Monaco during the Monaco Grand Prix. To answer this burning question, DMARGE spoke to Istanbul-based luxury yacht manager Candaş Balci.

Balci told us just to book a fairly average berth in Monaco “for F1 week” was around 30 thousand euros “for a 35-meter motoryacht for a place which had no view of track but inside the port.”

Balci explained: “There are different parts in the marina which have different rates depending on where the yacht will be.”

“If it sees the track or not, price changes as well,” Bali told us.

“The berths which directly see the track were around 50-100K euro for the week, which is almost their yearly berth fee in a normal marina.”

Browsing through Reddit’s F1 Technical page, one user posts a link to a photo which purports to give a list of Monaco’s pricing for 2019. The prices which appear in the photo seem more or less consistent with the pricing Balci gave DMARGE.

Another Reddit user said: “My old landlord used to work on super yachts and also happened to introduce me to f1 so I can at least give you an anecdotal response. He said to rent the slip during the race week was around 100k and there was usually a 20k ‘offering to the port master’ as a separate transaction. He called it a bribe but I’m not sure it’s fair for me to use his characterization.”

Forbes also wrote about this topic a number of years back. They reported: “To moor in one of the world’s most expensive marinas during high season, a superyacht owner can be expected to pay up to $4,130 per night, and during prime time events such as the Monaco Grand Prix rates can skyrocket to $100,000 or more for a five-day stay in Monaco’s prime berths.”

Monaco’s Port Hercules has 700 berths. According to 212 Yachts, “During the Monaco Grand Prix, the port is filled to capacity, with berths booked well in advance of the event.”

212 Yachts also says that to get yourelf a berth you need to complete a port application form. This is a highly competetive process.

“For the best chance of a successful application, it is essential to submit this form as early as possible,” 212 Yachts states.

“In order to do this, you must first select your charter yacht as technical details of the vessel must be specified on the form. Those directly associated with the Formula One, the Monaco Grand Prix and the event sponsors are fast tracked in the process, contributing to the extremely competitive nature of this process,” (212 Yachts).

There you have it: you can add knowing how much it costs to moor a superyacht in Monaco to your list of superyacht knowledge (which should also include knowing what it costs to spend a week on a superyacht in the medditeranean and why travelling around Europe on a superyacht is more stressful than you think).

There is nothing on this earth cosier than wool-based shoes. Although wool shoes are a relatively new invention, they have forever changed the shoe industry, with their ergonomic and innovative design, creating a much more practical shoe.However, though wool is synonymous with sweaters made by your grandma and warm winter blankets, it’s a little known fact that this fabric is one of the most diverse materials out there, as it can sustain in different climates. Its moisture-wicking properties can help keep you feeling fresh in the summertime, but it can also help regulate your temperature in the winter – there are so many pros to this advanced fabric.With designers starting to use more sustainable materials to manufacture their products, wool has become a highly sought after shoe fabric, as it’s eco-friendly and incredibly adaptable. Wool is now used to crafted different footwear, from comfy knit sneakers to snug felted slippers, promising ultimate comfort and durability. Best of all, you can throw wool shoes in the washing machine, after a long day of work.

Different types of wool shoes

Merino wool

Merino wool is an incredibly diverse fabric used to craft various products, from running shoes to exceptionally soft slippers. The reason why this New Zealand wool is often used in footwear is that it provides a highly breathable membrane and absorbs moisture effectively.Allbirds was the first company to create merino wool shoes after its founder Tim Brown, successfully launched a Kickstarter campaign to make footwear from natural materials. He raised over $1 million in over five days, thanks to Allbirds Wool Runner, which sold out instantly.

Wool Felt

Woollen felt is also an incredibly adaptable fabric for footwear, as it’s soft yet durable and machine washable. They can also be worn in all types of environments as there’s a range of outdoor felt shoes that can endure the harshest weather conditions.

Knitted Wool

Knitted shoes provide excellent warmth while feeling lightweight. They are the epitome of comfort, style, and practicality. Due to their breathability, knit shoes are ideal for the summer. However, their insulating properties also help to keep you warm in the colder seasons too.Knit sneakers have definitely become the rage of the shoe industry, as more and more mainstream designers are starting to embrace this trend, with many sneakers featuring a knit upper.

Though clogs were once considered an “ugly” shoe, the clog is recognised today for its stylish and comfortable design, which can seamlessly blend into both formal and casual attire. Clogs are suitable for almost every occasion, which is why they’ve become a go-to piece of footwear. However, men’s clogs date back to the 13th century, as it first appeared as a wooden flip flop in medieval Japan, then was later linked to 19th-century Dutch farmers. In the 60s, they burst onto the scene again, becoming known for their signature bohemian style.But the shoe emerged into the mainstream after Dior’s “Diorquake” collection of clogs became a staple for sleek off-duty style, and soon every celebrity was a part of the ‘clogerati’. Vastly improving from what was originally a design with wooden uppers and a bulky structure, the clog has undergone many makeovers, with every high-end designer now embracing the shoe.Finding the right clog for you is dependant on what style you’re going for. If you’re looking for a more polished clog, definitely opt for footwear with a simple suede design. However, if you’re looking for a clog to help you tackle outdoor terrain, purchase a shoe that features a cushioned footbed and rubber outsole, providing extra grip.

A. Lange & Söhne is a pretty conservative brand – not that that’s a bad thing. The German master of haute horlogerie (or should that be hochwertige Uhrmacherei?) has a very distinct, very Saxon style that makes it stand out amongst the top tier of luxury watch brands; it’s part of its allure.

That’s why when Lange released the Odysseus – their first-ever serially produced stainless steel watch and the closest thing the brand has to a sports watch – back in 2019, it immediately caused a huge stir. It also immediately became not only one of Lange’s most in-demand pieces but arguably one of the most in-demand watches in the world. They’re seriously hot property.

If the stainless steel Odysseus was Lange just dipping their toes in the luxury sports watch space, Watches & Wonders 2022 has seen Lange diving head-first into the market. Meet the A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus Titanium (ref. 363.117): a landmark watch for the storied firm and easily one of the hottest watches to emerge from the world’s biggest watch fair.

Making a sporty model like the Odysseus in titanium makes a lot of sense, but it’s still a real departure from form for the brand. Lange – like other traditional high-end watch brands such as Breguet or Patek Philippe – generally works with precious metals only, only making a small percentage of models in pedestrian metals like stainless steel… So to go even further and work with titanium is rather radical for them.

The advantage of titanium is that it’s 43% lighter than steel, making the Odysseus Titanium extremely light on the wrist. Lange has finished the titanium like it was a precious metal, though: its combination of polished, matte, and brushed surfaces is very compelling and really elevates the metal; making it rather luxurious. The integrated bracelet is particularly stunning, too.

Like the stainless-steel and white-gold versions of the Odysseus, this titanium number has a screw-down crown and is water-resistant to 120m, further underscoring its sporting pedigree. Like its siblings, it also features a sapphire caseback that reveals its immaculately finished L155.1 Datomatic movement. We love the contrast between the sportiness of the Odysseus Titanium’s case material and the ornate German silver mainplate of its movement.

The Odysseus Titanium’s ice-blue dial is also a highlight. It perfectly complements the titanium and further reinforces the watch’s sportiness. It also has a unique dial treatment compared to other Odysseuses: it features its own surface structure with fine guilloched grooves extending in gentle arcs to the hour markers, which amplifies the dimensionality of the dial and doubles as an exclusive signature.

All in all, it’s a really stunning watch. It might be the sportiest thing Lange’s ever made but it still has that quintessential A. Lange & Söhne classiness; restraint; savoir-faire. It’s definitely different and definitely a highlight of Watches & Wonders 2022.

Limited to only 250 pieces, this Lange might as well be made of unobtanium rather than titanium – we expect demand for these to be huge. Perhaps now’s the time to start learning some German and getting chummy with your local A. Lange & Söhne dealer… Viel Glück.

Originating from the Latin word “signum”, which means “sign”, in ancient times, signet rings were only worn by religious leaders and Pharaohs, as it was a mark of power and influence. Signet rings also had an engraved family crest, used as a signature on documents by pressing the crest into hot wax. Although this piece of jewellery no longer holds the same regal significance, signet rings still signify great style.

Best Signet Rings FAQs

What do signet rings signify?

Historically, signet rings were worn to establish wealth and affluence, as many who fashioned this piece of jewellery usually came from an influential family or dynasty. Today, however, signet rings are no longer considered a powerful family heirloom but rather a staple piece of everyday wear jewellery.

Which finger should signet rings be worn on?

Traditionally, signet rings are worn on the pinky finger. However, you can wear a signet ring on any finger you like; depending on the occasion and style you’re going for.

You may be thinking ‘what is exactly is an aromatic fragrance?’ and that’s a fair question as technically all colognes and fragrances for men do have an aroma. However, what classifies a cologne as an ‘aromatic’ fragrance is a scent that’s fresh and rustic with key notes of herbs and spices.

You will find that many aromatic colognes and fragrances for men fall into other categories such as spicy, woody, oriental, and even floral, but that’s the beauty of an aromatic fragrance; it can be a versatile type of fragrance. Overall, an aromatic cologne will be very grounded and down-to-earth smelling; perfect for those who don’t want to be known as the ‘guy who bathes in strong cologne’.

How to properly apply cologne

You don’t want to spray cologne all over you, as a quality strong fragrance will intensify over time. You just want a light spray on your neck and wrists; however, don’t spray one wrist and then rub your wrists together, as this will lessen the longevity of your cologne. Spray your neck and each wrist, extremely lightly.

Like to take your runs through forests or over some rocky terrain? Then you’re going to need a pair of the best trail running shoes to keep you moving more efficiently.

If you haven’t already tried trail running, then we really recommend you give it a go, as it offers myriad benefits. Firstly, the surface, while littered with more obstacles than a road, is softer underfoot compared to hard and tough asphalt. This means you’re less likely to put any serious strain on your muscles and joints (at least, when compared to road running).

But, because of the aforementioned obstacles on your trail, your reactions and reflexes will sharpen up and you’ll slowly but surely build up your core strength – as well as the muscles in your legs – as you seek to remain more stable on your feet.

Of course, your trail running experience can be dramatically improved with the right pair of trail runners. Men’s trail running shoes are very specific in their build and purpose to help you over various terrains, rocking much tougher soles than their road running counterparts.

Other parts of trail running shoes will also be beefed up in the name of endurance, to help with stability when your feet aren’t necessarily moving in a regular forward motion (you could find yourself dancing from side to side or hopping over rocks), and reinforcement to protect against any sharp sticks or rocks from penetrating the shoe surface.

While the majority of trail running shoes will sport these features, some may also gain waterproof protection from the likes of Gore-Tex or a manufacturer’s own waterproof technology. If you live in an area frequented by rainfall, or you plan to go trail running no matter the weather, this will prove to be an invaluable feature.

Naturally, you’ll also want your trail running shoes to look the part. Obviously, performance is vital, but when you can be the best looking guy on the trail, you should take the opportunity. We’ve, therefore, rounded up the best trail running shoes that are high-performing and stylish; perfect to get you moving off the beaten track.
