Golf and luxury converged at the 3rd Annual Citizen Kanebridge Open, held last week at the picturesque Mount Broughton Golf Course in the Southern Highlands.

The event, a staple in the calendar for those who appreciate both precision and prestige, attracted an elite gathering of golf enthusiasts, business leaders, and connoisseurs of the finer things in life.

The 18-hole, par 72 championship course, renowned for its lush fairways and challenging play, provided the perfect backdrop for a day of competitive yet convivial sport.

Participants navigated the rolling greens with skill and strategy, vying for an impressive lineup of prizes, including a Zenith wall clock, an elegant Armani tea set, and a $500 M.J. Bale voucher.

A highlight of the day was the exclusive whisky tastings courtesy of the Whisky & Wealth Club at the Par 10 station.

The Paramonte Legal team, headed by Robert Bounassif, won the overall trophy for the day.

Beyond the fairways, the Open delivered an experience that extended far beyond the game.

As one attendee noted, “This event isn’t just about golf—it’s about celebrating the art of excellence, whether on the course, in timepieces, or in life.”

As the sun set over the Highlands, players and guests transitioned from the greens to the grandeur of the Citizen Kanebridge Lodge in Berrima for an exclusive after-party.

A highlight of the night  was an engaging talk on the history of watches, reinforcing the event’s theme of precision and craftsmanship.

The evening was a seamless blend of sophistication and camaraderie, where guests relaxed, networked, and toasted to another successful tournament.

“The Citizen Kanebridge Open has evolved into more than just a golf tournament; it’s an immersive experience that marries sport, luxury, and connection in an unparalleled setting,” said a spokesperson for Citizen Kanebridge.

“Each year, we strive to elevate the event, and this edition has certainly set a new benchmark.”

Here’s to another year of precision, passion, and play.

ROLLS-ROYCE MARKS A CENTURY OF PHANTOM WITH ULTRA-LIMITED PRIVATE COLLECTION

Rolls-Royce has unveiled the Phantom Centenary Private Collection, a landmark series of just 25 motor cars honouring the 100th anniversary of its most storied model.

Described as the marque’s most complex and technologically ambitious creation to date, the Centenary Collection is a statement of craftsmanship, symbolism and legacy, three years in the making.

Each Phantom Centenary tells the story of the nameplate’s century-long reign as the pinnacle of luxury motoring.

Every surface, from its embroidered headliner to its gold-detailed engine cover, reflects an element of Rolls-Royce’s history.

The Bespoke Collective of designers and artisans distilled the Phantom’s heritage into 77 motifs that appear throughout the car, created using groundbreaking techniques such as 3D marquetry, ink layering, laser-etched leather and 24-carat gold leafing.

Chief Executive Chris Brownridge called the Centenary Collection “a tribute to 100 years of the world’s most revered luxury item,” describing it as “a motor car which reaffirms Phantom’s status as a symbol of ambition, artistic possibility, and historical gravitas.”

Inside, the rear seats feature more than 160,000 stitches across 45 panels of high-resolution printed and embroidered fabric inspired by historic Phantoms, developed in partnership with a fashion atelier.

The front seats are laser-etched with hand-drawn sketches that reference key design codenames, while the Anthology Gallery installation – 50 brushed aluminium fins engraved with a century of quotes – forms a centrepiece that reads like a living archive.

The exterior pairs Super Champagne Crystal paint with Arctic White and Black tones, finished with iridescent glass particles. Each car is crowned with a solid 18-carat gold Spirit of Ecstasy, enamelled and hallmarked with a bespoke “Phantom Centenary” mark. Even the famed RR badges have been plated in 24-carat gold and white enamel for the first time.

Bespoke woodwork depicts the Phantom’s most defining journeys, from Sir Henry Royce’s homes in France and England to the 4,500-mile expedition of the first Goodwood-era Phantom across Australia. Roads and landscapes are etched in gold, and interior embroidery continues these lines in gleaming thread.

The Starlight Headliner, with 440,000 stitches, portrays the mulberry tree under which Royce once worked, complete with bees from the marque’s Goodwood apiary and constellations referencing legendary Phantoms such as Sir Malcolm Campbell’s ‘Bluebird’.

Limited to 25 cars worldwide, the Phantom Centenary Private Collection stands as both an homage to Rolls-Royce’s past and a promise of its future, a modern-day heirloom crafted to be read, driven and remembered over generations.
