People Are Missing The Point Of The Tesla Cybertruck

Dec 5, 2023 | esquiresg.com | Joy Ling

It's been four years but I don't think anyone can forget how the Tesla Cybertruck had its windows smashed during its concept reveal. Twice. It was a glorious moment for the Meme-ternet. Complete with the perfect quote, "Oh my f—ing God, well. Maybe that was a little too hard."Fast forward to last Thursday; where the same man, Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen, repeats the throw, albeit with visibly less gusto and a much softer weapon of choice. Surprise, surprise.
Behind The Scenes of Squid Game: The Challenge

Dec 5, 2023 | esquiresg.com | Joy Ling

Listen up, players. A robotic voice shouted into a giant dormitory stacked to the gills with 456 bunk beds. I craned my neck all the way up to the ceiling—which was at least ten Shaqs high—to catch sight of the giant piggy bank that was suspended in the air. If you're reading this, you probably know where I was. On the set of Netflix's brand-new reality show, Squid Game: The Challenge.

Dec 4, 2023 | esquiresg.com | Joy Ling

Audemars Piguet has just announced details of a new collaboration with Cactus Jack, the record label and brand founded by US hip-hop icon Travis Scott. The new Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked Limited Edition is made from brown ceramic—a signature Cactus Jack colour and a first for Audemars Piguet. It has been nicknamed ‘The Chocolate AP’ by Scott, apparently a call-back to—or a pre-emptive bit of marketing in—the song ‘Meltdown’ on his recent album Utopia.
Envy Returns To Singapore After Over A Decade

If you know Envy, you probably know Envy. The Japanese band with more than 30 years of post-hardcore legacy revisits us this week. Coming off a successful European tour spanning nine countries and 16 shows, as well as their recent stint at Maho Rasop in Thailand and the release of their 10-inch EP Seimei last year, they will be showcasing an impressive catalogue in one night.

Dec 1, 2023 | esquiresg.com | Joy Ling

So we return, for a fifth time, to the strange, dusty dystopia of George Miller. The 78-year old director once again co-wrote the script, and has reportedly been planning this Furiosa-led prequel for years. To give you a sense of what to expect if the trailer somehow wasn't enough; the latest instalment is helmed by the same production team as Fury Road.
The Story Behind The Aston Martin DB12

Nov 29, 2023 | esquiresg.com | Joy Ling

You know that moment when you emerge from a side road hoping to join a queue of traffic only to realise that, no matter how sweetly you smile, no one is going to let you out? It’s hard enough to appeal to your fellow driver’s good nature if you’re driving a battered Vauxhall Corsa, but if you’re in a gleaming supercar that does 14mpg with a private number plate and a carbon body pack, you may as well just switch the engine off and check your food supplies.

Daniel Craig has played a spy, a detective, and even a stormtrooper, but a surprising new role has been making the rounds on the Internet: himself.

Nov 27, 2023 | esquiresg.com | Joy Ling

Like Mariah Carey re-emerging for her dedicated time in the spotlight annually, TWG Tea showcasing its latest festive tea and menu is something we can all anticipate as Christmas lights start going up. That's not to say the brand can't be enjoyed over the rest of the year. Many of us have a favourite from the ever-expanding selection of luxury teas. If anything, 15 years is testament enough that its offerings goes beyond seasonal fancy.
The 50 Most Important Watches Ever

Nov 24, 2023 | esquiresg.com | Paul Mescal |Rudolph Valentino |Joy Ling

What makes a watch ‘important’? There are the big leaguers – chronometers that changed the game for maritime travel; field watches that synchronised soldiers across two World Wars; space age watches that got astronauts safely back to Earth. There are the record breakers – watches that have gone deeper, higher or were more ‘complicated’ than ever before.
