Contributors SUMMER 2018 SANJAY SURANA p76 ANDREW HILDRETH p45 CHRISTINE MUHLKE p24 SANJAY SURANA “It was remarkable to meet the brains behind this visionary project and to witness the early stages of it,” says the Singapore-based writer about his experience with the world’s first room under the ocean, which he describes in Sea of Dreams (p76). “The highlight of my stay, apart from seeing the room sunk in the water, was joining the 500m pre-sunset swim that the general manager does every evening between the resort’s islands – it’s invigorating.” CHRISTINE MUHLKE The New York-based writer and consultant has taken note of Los Angeles’s high concentration of young female chefs at the helm of top restaurants like Kismet, Sqirl and n/naka on repeated trips to the West Coast over the past few years. “They’re walking in the footsteps of some of my biggest food heroes, La Brea Bakery and Mozza’s Nancy Silverton and Suzanne Goin of Lucques and AOC,” she says of the chefs she profiles in Broad City (p24). HARLECH 18 ILLUSTRATIONS JÖRN KASPUHL ANDREW HILDRETH “Richard is ever effusive with an enthusiasm for his watches that is contagious,” says the London-based Hildreth, who has known Richard Mille for over a decade and wrote about him for Of Technique and Time (p45). “That emotion is transmitted to his watches and makes them so original and different.” Hildreth, a Liveryman at the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers, writes on horology for Revolution and The Daily Telegraph among other publications.
