She had access to clean, safe water and now wants the same for others. As a 2023 Rolex Awards Laureate, Koigi is scaling up her project to bring solar-powered systems that extract water from the air to provide a crucial resource for off-grid communities in Kenya’s most arid regions.

Beneath the turquoise waters of Australia’s World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Coast is one of the planet’s largest fringing coral reefs. Although highly protected and recognized for its biodiversity, many of its animals depend on a less-protected area on the other side of the cape: Exmouth Gulf. Mission Blue / Sylvia Earle Alliance Hope Spot Champion Ben Fitzpatrick has led his team on an expedition to the gulf’s unexplored waters. Using the latest technology in drones and underwater photography, they are surveying its incredibly biodiverse wildlife and proving how important the area is to the region and to the nearby Ningaloo Reef.

Our Jubilee bracelet, its emblematic weave recognizable at a glance. It combines fluidity and durability, offering unique comfort on the wrist. Years of research perfected the combination of two large satin-finished links, flanking three smaller polished links. Created for the Datejust, it was launched in 1945 to celebrate 40 years of craftsmanship and has never ceased to evolve.

These are lugs. Carved into the same material as the middle case of which they are the natural extension, they form the crucial bridge linking the bracelet and the watch. Their shape is meticulously designed to become part of the identity of each model. Their polished or satin finish highlights the curves they draw. In a seemingly small in-between space, these lugs, with their confident aesthetics but discreet presence, do more than unite parts – they reveal the unique character of each watch.
