Few names in glassware carry the same weight as RIEDEL, the Austrian family company renowned for transforming the way the world experiences wine.
In 2025, the brand has turned heads again with the launch of the Cobra Magnum Decanter, a bold, sculptural piece that is as much an art object as it is a wine tool.
The limited-edition decanter features a striking optic design and is available in two eye-catching colourways, blue/black and yellow/black.
With its sweeping curves and generous size, the Cobra Magnum is designed not only to enhance wine aeration but also to act as the centrepiece of the table. For anyone who loves to entertain at home, it delivers both conversation-starting design and the functionality RIEDEL is known for.
The Cobra Magnum’s arrival comes as part of a season of innovation across the wider RIEDEL portfolio.
The company’s much-loved Fatto a Mano collection, celebrated for its vibrant colour stems and blend of craftsmanship with machine precision, now includes a new decanter.
This latest design pairs a machine-blown Cabernet body with a hand-applied ergonomic handle in four options: clear crystal, yellow, black or mint.
The handle has been extensively tested for a comfortable and elegant pour, reinforcing the Fatto a Mano philosophy of everyday luxury.
RIEDEL has also expanded the Fatto a Mano range with the new Black Tie series. This collection combines the lightness of the Superleggero goblets with a hand-applied transparent stem and a bold black crystal base.
The result is glassware that is both delicate in form and striking in appearance, perfectly suited for festive occasions and collectors who want to elevate their table setting.
Meanwhile, sister brand SPIEGELAU has introduced the Hi-Lite collection, a feather-light yet durable series of Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and Universal glasses.
Engineered with the elegance of handblown glass but created using the precision of modern technology, Hi-Lite offers wine lovers a refined tasting experience in everyday use.
The collection reflects SPIEGELAU’s centuries-long tradition of innovation, marrying functionality with beauty.
What ties all of these launches together is the ongoing conversation between heritage and innovation. RIEDEL and SPIEGELAU continue to push the boundaries of machine-made glass, crafting pieces that are light, elegant, and durable, yet still infused with the character and individuality of craftsmanship.
For those who love to entertain, the Cobra Magnum Decanter sits firmly at the centre of this narrative. It is not just another wine accessory; it is a piece designed to embody RIEDEL’s design DNA: functional, elegant, and impossible to ignore.
As wine culture increasingly becomes part of how people entertain at home, pieces like this aren’t simply tools; they are lifestyle statements.
Whether it’s the bold drama of the Cobra Magnum, the colourful ergonomics of the Fatto a Mano decanter, the black-crystal glamour of the Black Tie range, or the feather-light refinement of SPIEGELAU’s Hi-Lite, this new season of glassware has one clear message: wine deserves more than a glass – it deserves an experience.

Luxury Swiss watchmaker Zenith has unveiled the Chronomaster Sport Skeleton, a striking new timepiece that showcases the legendary El Primero movement through an open-worked design.

For collectors, the appeal of a great watch often lies in what cannot be seen.
The intricate movement, the engineering precision and the craftsmanship hidden beneath the dial are what separate fine watchmaking from mere timekeeping.
Now, luxury Swiss watchmaker Zenith is bringing those elements into full view.
The brand has unveiled the Chronomaster Sport Skeleton, a new interpretation of one of its most recognisable collections, combining contemporary design with the technical heritage that has defined Zenith for more than 160 years.
At the centre of the story is the legendary El Primero calibre, the movement that helped establish Zenith as one of the most respected names in Swiss watchmaking.
When Zenith introduced El Primero in 1969, it was recognised as the world’s first automatic integrated high-frequency chronograph.
Operating at 5Hz, or 36,000 vibrations per hour, the movement could measure time to one-tenth of a second, setting a new benchmark for precision.
More than five decades later, that same pursuit of accuracy remains central to the brand’s identity.
The Chronomaster Sport Skeleton takes that legacy and presents it through an open-worked architecture that allows wearers to appreciate the complexity of the movement beneath. Rather than concealing the mechanics, Zenith has chosen to celebrate them.
The result is a watch that offers a rare glimpse into the intricate world of Swiss horology while retaining the sporting character that has made the Chronomaster collection a favourite among enthusiasts.
Beyond the visual drama of the skeletonised design, the watch also incorporates a new folding clasp and ergonomic refinements that reflect Zenith’s focus on wearability alongside performance.
Powering the watch is the El Primero 3600 movement, a modern evolution of the original calibre.
The high-frequency architecture allows the central chronograph hand to complete a full rotation every 10 seconds, enabling the direct measurement of one-tenth of a second against the graduated bezel.
It is a technical solution that remains distinctive in contemporary watchmaking and a reminder of Zenith’s longstanding commitment to innovation.
For collectors, the Zenith Chronomaster Sport Skeleton represents more than a new release.
It is an opportunity to own a piece of a watchmaking story that stretches back more than 160 years while embracing a modern aesthetic that showcases the artistry normally hidden from view.
In a luxury market increasingly drawn to authenticity and craftsmanship, the Chronomaster Sport Skeleton offers both.
It is a watch that celebrates not only the passing of time but also the engineering mastery behind it.
The Chronomaster Sport Skeleton collection is available in stainless steel from AUD$26,100, with the rose gold model priced at AUD$49,000.
