TUDOR Steps into the Dohyo: A Partnership Born to Dare

Image
The TUDOR-Grand Sumo partnership runs beyond just being a sponsor. Tudor and Sumo both have a passionate commitment to their traditions and have a strong work ethic committed to excellence. As sumo becomes increasingly global – with Paris 2026 right around the corner – the TUDOR Black Bay 68 will sit ringside as an amazing companion to one of the most legendary traditions in sports. Sponsoring a marathon or Formula 1 team may seem like an obvious partnership, but there is another type of partnership that causes people to stop and wonder if it makes any sense. TUDOR has partnered with the Japan Sumo Association, which will leave everyone scratching their heads for a few minutes. You may not think the two could work together until you spend some time doing research that shows they are compatible. You almost become convinced that this is going to be a great fit for both parties once you spend a little time confirming that they would be compatible. A Thousand Years of Tradition, O...

India Returns to Venice with Geographies of Distance

Image
Walking into the India Pavilion at this year’s Venice Biennale is something quite remarkable. You step into the historical Isolotto warehouse at the Arsenale — a building created from exposed timber, bricks and industrial lights — where no sound is present. There’s no spectacle waiting to attract your attention. Instead, you feel stillness and an unexplainable weight when entering the pavilion. The exhibition includes five Indian artists who each practise differently; all five have one fundamental question: What is home? What remains after home has disappeared? India has returned to La Biennale di Venezia for the first time since 2019 and officially rejoined La Biennale di Venezia (61st edition) after many years. India’s official participation in La Biennale di Venezia started in 1954; this is India’s fourth official participation in La Biennale di Venezia. The India Pavilion, titled Geographies of Distance: Remembering Home, is hosted by the Ministry of Culture of the Gove...

Timing the Perfect Start

Image
On the ocean, time isn’t so much something to keep track of but rather something you can depend on. When the winds change unexpectedly, or the horizon becomes obscured, a sailor doesn’t simply look at their watch, but rather they place trust in what their watch says. Entirely. When Time Was Navigation For many centuries, sailors have used clocks to determine their location, long before satellites and electronic charts. It is hard to believe now that a vessel could be hundreds of miles from the desired destination due to just a few seconds of incorrect timekeeping. Today, although the majority of offshore yachting is accomplished using GPS technology, there is still value to sailors, particularly offshore, in mechanical devices because when electronic systems fail, something simple, reliable, and effective once again is highly desired. Rolex entered this world nearly 100 years ago when it released the Oyster in 1926. As the world’s first water-resistant wristwatch, it was a nec...
