New York gets a London member's club, AP drops a $400 collab with Swatch, Churchill's Saint Tropez hideaway is rescued, and Arc'teryx opens a Japanese tier house. Here's the news you missed this week in the Four Freedoms. Estelle, the private member's club group behind Maison Estelle in London's Mayfair and Estelle Manor in Oxfordshire has just filed plans for a five tier club on the Upper East Side. It's early, definitely no opening day yes, but given Estelle in London is now best only, it's one to keep an eye on. Audemars Piguet and Swatch just dropped the Royal Pop, a pocket watch, not a wristwatch. And it's the first piece in AP's hundred fifty year catalog no assembled by human hands. The manual wine swatch movement inside is built entirely by robots. For $400, you can wear it on a belt loop, around the neck, or perhaps even on your handbag in stores Saturday. Como La Bovillon just reopened on the Gulf Of Saint Tropez, an iconic palace once the summer hideaway for Winston Churchill and Audrey Hepburn. Closed since 2008, now back with 42 rooms, a private beach club, a speedboat to Saint Tropez, and the world's most decorated chef, Yannick No, running the food. And Arc'teryx has just opened a trail running hub at the base of Mount Takao, one of Asia's great weekend runs. They're hosting guided sessions stationed from this cool little tier worse, complete, of course, with a nice showcase of their latest kit. If you liked this, you'll love the newsletter.
