The best adventure watches 2025

2 days ago | squaremile.com | Alan Seymour

In the world of luxury horology, there’s something refreshingly honest about a proper tool watch. No diamond bezels or dainty lugs here – this is the realm of reinforced cases, GMT functions, shock absorption and water resistance deep enough to impress a submarine commander. Today’s crop of adventure watches embraces their utilitarian heritage while layering in the latest materials, technologies and mechanical chops.
Roni Neumark: “Building a collection is an art in its own right.”

Some of the most precious art collections remain forever hidden from public view – books and paintings whose value is nearly priceless, often stored under lock and key in vaults across the globe by anonymous collectors.
Cape Town: sunshine, wine and one of the world's finest restaurants

5 days ago | squaremile.com | Max Williams

It's sunrise in Cape Town and I'm hanging off a mountain. This isn't artistic licence: both hands are gripping rock, my trainers are scrambling for a purchase, and an ill-timed sneeze will see me descending Lion's Head significantly faster than I went up. Somewhere above my head is Ryan Cole, one of South Africa's finest chefs, and his two Staffordshire terriers, Truffle and Rhino. This evening a small group of us will dine at Ryan’s celebrated restaurant, Salsify at the Roundhouse.
Katie Boulter: “You never forget your first title”

1 week ago | squaremile.com | Max Williams

Current British No. 1 in women's singles, Katie Boulter has seen her career go from strength to strength in recent years. She's currently playing both singles and doubles at the inaugural HSBC Championships at the Queen's Club, the first female edition of the tournament for more than 50 years. Away from the court, the Lexus ambassador loves reading, cooking and fashion, harbouring dreams to start her own clothing brand one day.
Budapest hotels don't get more beautiful than Anantara New York Palace

2 weeks ago | squaremile.com | Max Williams

There’s this notion of Budapest as an ideal stag party destination. Quick flights, cheap booze, strong beer, ruin bars, a currency that feels like monopoly money. (4,000 HUF for an aperol spritz? I have no idea if this is a great deal or imminent bankruptcy.) It’s a simplistic mentality that undersells Budapest’s remarkable culture and presents Brits abroad as pissed up philistines who descend on cities like invading armies, leaving a trail of carnage in their wake.
The Dalmore Luminary Series No 3 is whisky, reimagined

2 weeks ago | squaremile.com | Mark Hedley

Unless you’re in the spirits trade, the launch of a new luxury whisky collection is unlikely to grab too many column inches. Another day, another decanter, right? But The Dalmore Luminary Series is in a different league. It’s not just broken the mould; it’s made a new one. Several, actually. The design-led whisky collection from The Dalmore Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, created in collaboration with V&A Dundee was launched in 2021.
“This is a game. This is joyous.” Crossing blades with a professional swordsman

2 weeks ago | squaremile.com | Max Williams

So I’m killing time on YouTube and the algorithm brings a Business Insider video to my attention: Sword Master Rates 10 Sword Fights From Movies And TV. I’m a simple man. I clicked. The video was sparse but effective: a clip was played, the sword master dissected the historical and technical accuracy of said clip, while supplying additional information of his own.
Sky-high serenity: inside Shangri-La The Shard, London

2 weeks ago | squaremile.com | Mark Hedley

Discover the luxury hotel that puts the city at your feet – from cloud-grazing bathtubs to the highest hotel bar in LondonThere’s no doubt that the designers of Shangri-La at The Shard, London understood the assignment. When your hotel occupies one of the world’s most iconic skyscrapers, the views aren’t just a feature – they’re the headline act. Step into your room and the floor-to-ceiling, wraparound windows are initially veiled, the blinds at half-mast.
All aboard the British Pullman

2 weeks ago | squaremile.com | Mark Hedley |Charlie McKay |Will Heap

When it comes to feeling special, few experiences rival a journey aboard a Belmond train. From white-tie waiters to cloches so polished you could fix your hair in them, it’s silver service elevated to platinum. Short of being handed the backdoor key to Buck House, it’s hard to imagine feeling more like royalty.
Why British craftsmanship still sets the global gold standard

3 weeks ago | squaremile.com | Mark Hedley

When it comes to craftsmanship, Britain doesn’t do things by halves. This is a nation that still hand-welts its shoes, tailors its suits in basements beneath Savile Row, and waxes its canvas bags in Yorkshire mills that predate electricity. Even our whisky ages more gracefully than most of Europe’s monarchies. But in an age of fast fashion, instant gratification and ‘artisanal’ everything, it’s worth pausing to appreciate the real thing.
