2024 at Miami Design Week, I was thrilled to witness Panerai unveiling the Luminor GMT Power Reserve Ceramica PAM01674, their latest creation in the realm of timekeeping. This beauty flaunts a minimalist, monochromatic aesthetic that easily catches the eye.

The Star Wars franchise, bursting at the seams with numerous characters, may seem to have reached its limit given the multiple films and shows since 1977. However, the recently released Disney+ series, titled “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew“, demonstrates that there’s still room for more. This fresh take on Star Wars introduces characters who aren’t part of the Skywalker saga or the Rebel Alliance. The story unfolds in an ordinary suburban town on a planet called At Attin. Instead of focusing on the epic struggle between the Jedi and the Sith, “Skeleton Crew” zeroes in on a group of seemingly harmless kids who end up lost in space. During the era of the New Republic, this series narrates an entirely original tale featuring new characters that seamlessly blend into the broader Star Wars universe.
Tom Cruise has consistently held the summit of box office success, with his heartwarming romantic films and high-octane action movies earning him widespread admiration. As a leading figure in ’80s cinema and beyond, he has set the benchmark for box office dominance and is one of the most reliable stars in Hollywood. The star of ‘Top Gun’ has consistently gone the extra mile to deliver exceptional performances for his audiences, from dangling outside of speeding aircraft, performing breathtaking jumps, motorcycle stunts, and even executing feats under real zero-gravity conditions.
Prior to his starring roles in movies like “Top Gun: Maverick”, “Anyone But You” and “Twisters”, Glen Powell’s first significant film appearance was in 2012’s “The Dark Knight Rises”. If you’re familiar with him, you might recall that he played the minor character of “Trader #1”, whose head was crushed by Tom Hardy’s Bane. However, Powell has since revealed that he had a conversation with director Christopher Nolan, and it seems like a heartwarming interaction.
