Henry Cavill on elegance, legacy and what truly matters across time zones
To commemorate the centennial, Longines introduces the Spirit Zulu Time 1925, a special-edition watch that blends the brand's pioneering legacy with modern sophistication. Housed in a 39mm stainless steel case with an 18-karat rose gold-capped rotating bezel, the model debuts several firsts for the collection. The black dial, adorned with rose gold-coloured indexes and Super-LumiNova-treated hour markers, is refined yet highly legible.
Under the dial, the exclusive Longines calibre L844.4 offers true GMT functionality and a 72-hour power reserve. Its silicon balance spring and cutting-edge components ensure magnetic resistance far exceeding ISO standards, while the transparent caseback reveals a rose gold PVD rotor engraved with a planisphere intersected by the Prime Meridian.
For Cavill, such craftsmanship is more than a technical marvel; it's a form of storytelling. 'There is such a history to watchmaking and to keeping time. These days, we really take it for granted—quite how important it was for navigation, and how the smallest error meant the difference between life and death.'

Electric aircraft goes for test run at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport
Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport says it is getting ready for the start of a new era of aviation as it prepares to welcome planes that are fully electric. On Monday, BETA Technologies, an electric aerospace company based in Burlington, Vermont, flew one of its "advanced air mobility" electric aircraft, known as the ALIA CTOL, in a demonstration flight. BETA Technologies is a manufacturer of electric aircraft and charging infrastructure. The ALIA CTOL is a single pilot airplane. Its passenger model can transport five passengers, plus pilot, while its cargo model has 200 cubic feet of cargo space. Its range is 336 nautical miles and it has a maximum speed of 153 knots. The aircraft has conventional takeoff and landing. According to the website of BETA Technologies, one electric airplane can be charged in less than an hour. "Today's flight of the electric ALIA aircraft signified Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport's readiness to invest in the foundations and technology required for electric aircraft," the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport said in a news release on Monday. Nicolas Pappalardo, CEO of Stolport, a company that oversees parking and ferry services at the airport, said the company is committed to electric aviation. Pappalardo said Stolpart has bought Canada's first BETA "minicube" charger that will be used in operations at the airport. Starting on Tuesday, the company will have the capability to power electric planes with the charger, which can power electric aircraft as well as ground vehicles. "Basically, we are enabling the cleaner, greener, quieter airport that we all envisioned," Pappalardo told reporters. "We're not just preparing for the future of aviation, we're here to power it." Pappalardo said the purchase of the charger is significant. He said it means the company is committed to being on the "leading and greening edge of aviation" in Canada. "This charger allows us to be on the map, on the charging network, to provide the electricity for those aircraft for the journey," he said. Warren Askew, vice president, airport at PortsToronto, said electric aviation is the future and is no longer "fantastical." He said the airport has always been known for innovation in terms of sustainability and green operations. "As a downtown airport, located just three kilometres away from downtown, within the context of a vibrant mixed waterfront, it's incumbent on us to do things differently," Askew said. "It's incumbent on us to look for ways to mitigate our operational impact, by making investments and ways to make us cleaner, greener, and quieter." James Maloney, MP for Etobicoke-Lakeshore, told reporters that electric aircraft is "state of the art" and will transform tourism, enhance delivery of medical supplies and improve economic opportunities. "Today's demonstration shows the promise of emissions-free travel that connects communities, creates jobs, and keeps our city on the cutting edge of environmental technology," he said.

Peralta allows 1 hit in 6 innings and Brewers beat Cubs
Freddy Peralta allowed one hit and struck out six batters and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 7-0. All-Star pitcher Peralta (15-5) shut Chicago out over six innings to help Milwaukee advance to an MLB-best record of 79-45. The Brewers, which had their franchise-record 14-game winning streak snapped by the Reds on Sunday, have won 23 of 28 games since the break. Brice Turang and Caleb Durbin each had two hits, two RBIs and a solo home run to lead the way. Milwaukee's Abner Uribe, Jared Koenig and Grant Anderson held Chicago to one combined hit over the final three innings of relief. The Brewers attacked Cubs pitcher Cade Horton (7-4) early. After Turang's homer in the third, Horton allowed three of the next four batters to reach base and was removed from the game with a blister on his right middle finger. Reliever Drew Pomeranz retired the ensuing batter to escape the inning with a one-run deficit. TIGERS 10, ASTROS 0 DETROIT (AP) — Jack Flaherty struck out nine batters in seven scoreless innings and Detroit went on to beat Houston Astros. Wenceel Pérez, Riley Greene, Trey Sweeney and Colt Keith homered for the Tigers, who were coming off a 5-2 road trip. Flaherty (7-12) allowed three hits and a walk to win for the second time in 12 starts. Former closer Alex Lange, who underwent lat surgery last season, pitched the ninth — his first MLB appearance since May 22, 2024. Spencer Arrighetti (1-4) gave up five runs on seven hits and four walks in five innings. PIRATES 5, BLUE JAYS 2 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Paul Skenes kept the American League's top team in relative check for six innings and Pittsburgh took advantage of some sloppy play by Toronto Blue to pull away for a victory. Skenes bounced back from a rare shaky performance in his previous start to limit the American League-leading Blue Jays to two runs over six innings. The burly 23-year-old struck out eight against one walk as his ERA ticked up to 2.16. Evan Sisk (1-1) picked up his first big league victory with a scoreless seventh. Dennis Santana worked the ninth for his eighth save as the Pirates won for just the second time in nine games. Henry Davis doubled off Yariel Rodríguez (2-1) leading off the seventh, and scored on a wild pitch by Brendon Little to put Pittsburgh in front to stay. Spencer Horwitz, a former Toronto first baseman, had two hits for the Pirates. PHILLIES 12, MARINERS 7 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Trea Turner had four hits, including his first home run at home this season, Bryce Harper homered twice and Philadelphia defeated Seattle. Turner hit a three-run homer off Seattle starter Logan Gilbert (3-5) as part of a six-run second inning. Turner also had two singles and a double for his fifth straight multihit game. He finished with five RBIs. Harper hit homers in back-to-back innings. His solo shot in the sixth marked the 11th time he's had 20 home runs in a season. An inning later, his two-run homer off the second deck made it his 30th multihomer game. J.T. Realmuto had three hits, including a home run, and the Phillies also got RBI hits from Kyle Schwarber, Max Kepler and Bryson Stott. All told, the Phillies got 21 hits. Ranger Suárez (9-6) matched a career high with 10 strikeouts to earn the win. He pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits. ORIOLES 6, RED SOX 3 BOSTON (AP) — Trevor Rogers took a shutout into the seventh inning, and Gunnar Henderson had a solo homer and an RBI to lead Baltimore to a victory over Boston. Top Orioles prospect Samuel Basallo, who was the No. 8 prospect in all of baseball before he was called up for his major-league debut on Sunday, doubled off the Green Monster for his first extra-base hit and added a two-run single in the ninth. Ryan Mountcastle had three singles. Boston starter Dustin May (7-9) allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks, striking out five in six innings to lose for the second time in three starts since he was acquired by Boston from the Dodgers at the trade deadline. Boston cut it to 6-3 in the ninth on Jarren Duran's two-out, two-run double. But Yennier Cano got Ceddanne Rafaela to hit a broken-bat grounder to third for the final out. CARDINALS 8, MARLINS 3 MIAMI (AP) — Alec Burleson went 3 for 4, including the go-ahead single in the seventh inning, and St. Louis ended their five-game losing streak with a win against Miami. Miami right fielder Dane Myers was unable to make a routine catch at the warning track in the seventh, which put a runner in scoring position for the Cardinals. Burleson's RBI single sent Iván Herrera home for a 4-3 lead. St. Louis added another run on a single by Pedro Pagés. The Marlins were undone by two errors, three unearned runs, four wild pitches and five walks allowed.
