TAIPEI: Taiwanese superstar Jay Chou's 90-year-old grandfather-in-law, Laurence Quinlivan, recently defied age by clinching multiple medals at the World Masters Games 2025 in Taiwan. According to a recent report by The Straits Times, Quinlivan participated in the multi-sport event, which is similar to the Olympics but primarily for athletes over 30. The games were held in Taipei and New Taipei City from May 17 to 30. On May 18, the opening day of the event, Quinlivan secured a gold medal in javelin and a silver medal in the 100m sprint, both in the 90-plus age category. Jay Chou, 46, celebrated Quinlivan's impressive feats on his Instagram Stories later that day. Laurence Quinlivan is the grandfather of Chou's wife, 31-year-old Taiwanese-Australian model-actress Hannah Quinlivan. Hannah's father is Australian, and her mother has Chinese and Korean heritage. Chou shared a photo of Quinlivan being interviewed by the media, captioned: "@hannah_quinlivan's grandpa is awesome." Hannah Quinlivan also posted a video of her grandfather competing in the 100m sprint, with the caption: "Thank you for cheering for grandpa." Demonstrating his consistent performance, Quinlivan went on to win another silver medal in the 200m sprint for the same age group on May 19.

Featured in this campaign are international superstars Rosé from Blackpink, Jay Chou and F1 racing star Sir Lewis Hamilton, alongside three of RIMOWA's iconic aluminium suitcases. Each of the suitcase is a celebration of the personal power of movement and they all carry the marks of adventure like a visual diary in various forms such as subtle dents, worn stickers, and gentle scuffs. They also have personalised touches like Jay Chou's tennis sticker (a nod to his favourite sport), Rosé's tribute to her new album, and Sir Lewis Hamilton's Roscoe sticker — immortalising the close bond with his beloved bulldog. Video courtesy of RIMOWA. Directed by Daniel Wolfe and Elliott Power in partnership with creative agency Anomaly, the campaign's films embrace a cinematic sensibility while remaining grounded in human connection. You can see movements of movement and stillness interwoven together with imagery captured by a global network of photographers and filmmakers to lend a quiet intimacy and sense of place. Each of the three icons are also featured in a pair of bespoke short clips that give a more personal lens on their journeys. Video courtesy of RIMOWA. The first provides a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the campaign while the second delves into their individual suitcase sticker collections which showcase the places they've been, ideas that they were drawn to, and the passions that continue to shape them. Together, they reveal a more intimate portrait of each person, offering you a deeper connection beyond what you might already know about them.

7 timepiece moments from March and April 2025: Watches & Wonders, the effects of Trump's tariffs, and a bevy of new releases to get excited about
This March and April, the world once again descended on Geneva for the year's biggest watch fair, Watches and Wonders. But hanging over the fair were US President Donald Trump's tariffs on the Swiss watchmaking industry, and brands seem increasingly likely to price up their watches as a result. Nevertheless, we were cheered to spot several stars wearing Rolexes on television recently, or grail watches off screen; Breitling added another aviation-themed vintage brand to its expanding catalogue; and Philips in Association with Bacs & Russo are putting several beautiful clocks up for auction. 1.

Photo: EPA-EFE Advertisement The biggest event on the high horology calendar landed at Palexpo in Geneva during the first week of April, and the Style team was on the ground to take a closer look at all the new releases. Sixty brands showcased their novelties in stunning booths to over 55,000 attendees. This year's edition was also arguably one of the most star-studded yet, as Kim Woo-bin visited Jaeger-LeCoultre, Jay Chou visited Tudor, Eileen Gu and Simone Ashley visited IWC Schaffhausen, Gianna Jun visited Piaget and Kylian Mbappe visited Hublot along with Usain Bolt, just to name a few.

Rolex officially unveiled its first five-hertz movement with the Land Dweller, whilst Vacheron Constantin celebrated its 270th anniversary and also released the most complicated wristwatch ever made (the Les Cabinotiers Solaria). Bulgari made its first-ever appearance at the fair, debuting the thinnest tourbillon watch in the world, while Cartier revisited its Tank à Guichets , an art deco jumping hours watch design from the 1920s.
