Can a luxury yacht also be sustainable? Clearly, a sailing yacht compares favourably to a powered one, but even motor yacht companies are seeking ways to be eco-friendly.
The lull in manufacture due to Covid has given many of the top yacht brands the time to look at yacht production methods and develop sustainable strategies that consider the issues of global warming and the problems caused by the ever-increasing pollution of our seas.
Companies are now waking up to the fact that products need to be produced in a sustainable fashion both to preserve our planet and for the discerning consumer.
We picked some of our favourite watches from the finest brands employing genuine efforts to clean up their manufacture. Watch companies that check the provenance of their suppliers and pay them correctly, including conflict free gems and ethical gold. Some pay a percentage of their sales to cleaning up the environment and the seas. Whilst others use bio plastic cases, natural rubber and recycled packaging.

Connoisseurs and collectors of the Art Establishment have looked on sporting art with condescension. Now they honour Sir Alfred Munnings as one of the two greatest painters of equestrian portraits, and the joys of rural life, in the history of English, or even world art. His reputation surges ever higher, his work fetches prices in the millions, up there with Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, and David Hockney.
Cardo recently released their new Packtalk Edge communication system.
It’s the most advanced communication system in the world they say. I currently use the Packtlk Bold, and use it all the time. Mostly, I use it for streaming music from my phone and making and taking calls.
