Editor’s Letter

Welcome to Emirates Man – The Winter Escape Issue.

This is your guide to being in the know. From grooming to tech, we will ensure you’re ahead of the curve when it comes to the latest gadgets. If you’re into watches, our resident watch geeks will deliver all the detail you need to make the right investment, we interview the guys making moves on a global and local scale and we’ll tell you where the coolest places are to hangout. Welcome to the club.

For the cover we are honoured to have Dr Michael Apa, founder of Apa Aesthetic. We discuss work ethic, scaling, and the drive it takes to perpetually innovate in The Rule Breaker on page 20.

Watch obsessives will enjoy the latest installment from The Watch Addict on page 16 while in The Art of Time on page 32 JeanChristophe Babin, CEO of Bulgari, discusses the concrete steps the brand is taking to diversify its offering, thereby ensuring the company stays ahead in the horology game.

We have exclusive interviews with those delivering excellence beyond expectation at every level. Edoardo Zegna, Chief Marketing Digital and Sustainability Officer ZEGNA, discusses quality, heritage and innovation in Quality Over Quantity on page 42, Yann Moujawaz Martini, Co-founder of Juana Skin, shares what it takes to build a brand from scratch, believe in your dream and push the boundaries of convention in the beauty industry in A Fearless Approach on page 72 and founders of Suited & Booted, Ryan Smith and Calvin Smith, show us how to look sharp for the festive season. The coolest kit you can buy is curated in The Boys Toys on page 14, the essentials for a modern man’s beauty regime in Well Groomed on page 18 and we have you covered when it comes to style, wherever you’re travelling in The Warm Escape on page 36 and The Cold Escape on page 38.

Style and substance are intrinsically linked, Emirates Man delivers both.

Look smart, live smarter.

LOOK SMART, LIVE SMARTER.
