In this issue

In the month of the Singapore Grand Prix, Prestige celebrates the myriad ways in which people can get their thrills. The motorsport karting, for instance, has played a pivotal role in strengthening the relationship between our cover subjects, philanthropist Jin Lu and her son Jayden. Over in the world of watches, motorsports have long been a rich source of inspiration for luxury timepieces. We explore how this long-time alliance has evolved. For true thrill-seekers, even a beach holiday can be turned into a great adventure: This month, our travel correspondent writes about heading to a private island for a unique murder-mystery experience.

ABOVE AND BEYOND

Two decades ago, Banyan Group was among the first international names to put Yunnan on the luxury traveller's map. Its debut in the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture turned heads for transforming humble Tibetan farmhouses into the soulful hideaway that is now Banyan Tree Ringha (pictured). A year later, Banyan Tree Lijiang, adjacent to the Unesco World Heritage-listed Old Town of Lijiang, opened. Showcasing spectacular views of the snow-dusted Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, it set the standard in luxury travel with gracefully appointed villas nestled among tranquil pools and willow-lined pathways. Over the years, the Banyan Group's pioneering foothold has blossomed into a network of 36 hotels across five brands, including 17 Banyan Tree properties.

A LONGEVITY GUIDE

At the well-matured age of 270, Vacheron Constantin has seen and weathered it all. The secret to its long-lived success is to refine its best creations, both in aesthetic and technical design. The latest Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin references 4300V-220, at just 8.1mm thick and available in white and rose gold cases and bracelets, epitomise this philosophy. The Overseas is a descendant of the Ref. 222, carefully edited and developed for a contemporary style, while the movement that drives it, the Geneva Seal-certified calibre 1120 QP, has a 40-year record of precision timekeeping even with its leisurely 2.75Hz frequency. In a tone-on-tone rose gold option, or polished white gold with a rich burgundy dial (and matching textured rubber strap), the Genevan watchmaker demonstrates the value of taking things slow and steady.

WHOLLY TRINITY

Sensation- or thrill-seeking describes the search for experiences or feelings that are varied, novel and intense. It's something that many people today are mired in, as we figure out our tastes, and test our limits, by experimenting with new experiences. It's not always associated with risk-taking activity, but in the Venn diagram of \"exciting experiences\" and \"risky activities\", there's certainly plenty of overlap.
