Society Insider: Peter and Lucinda Burling's new life in Italy; Kiwi It Girls in Europe; YouTube star Jesse James opens new Ponsonby Rd bar
Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli is based in Cagliari, a major port city, until the next America's Cup regatta takes place off the coast of Naples in 2027. Last month, the former Emirates Team New Zealand, three-time America's Cup skipper announced he was joining Prada Group chairman Patrizio Bertelli's team. 'I've always loved racing against Luna Rossa, and now to join this iconic team is a real honour,' said 34-year-old Burling. Burling will play a pivotal role in the team's leadership group and development programme. Peter Burling in his new Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli uniform. The impressive base is nestled on the Molo Ichnusa harbour area, where the team perform daily tests and analyses on and off the water. Society Insider is told Burling and Luna Rossa are keenly awaiting the release of the final protocols for the 2027 cup by Burling's former boss, Team NZ chief executive Grant Dalton. Lucinda, a lawyer and interior design expert, loves Cagliari's rich history and diverse architecture. She is also enjoying the wonderful Prada clothing she has access to thanks to her husband's new role. 'The family are all embracing learning Italian,' a source close to the family tells Society Insider. 'In Italy, pre-school education [scuola dell'infanzia] starts far earlier than in New Zealand, and Paloma will attend a bilingual one.' Lucinda Burling dressed head to toe in Prada at Wimbledon.

Days after the Black Foils won silver in SailGP in New York last month, Burling, his family and his Black Foils co-chief executive and Live Ocean Foundation co-founder Blair Tuke, spent three days at the United Nations Ocean Conference in Nice, France. The pair were star guests at the Ocean House Nightcap, where the duo highlighted issues closer to home in Aotearoa and the Pacific. Blair Tuke and Peter Burling talk at the United Nations Ocean Conference in Nice. Also at the conference was Bertelli's son, Lorenzo, who is the chief marketing officer of the Prada Group and its head of corporate social responsibility. Prada Group has pledged more than $4 million for its Sea Beyond project, which focuses on ocean literacy. The Burlings have a multimillion-dollar house in Ponsonby; however, their new base in Sardinia allows speedy access to the European SailGP racing all over the Continent in the next few months. Lucinda has many friends in London, and this month the Burlings have been spotted out and about. Peter headed to the Silverstone Circuit, near the Northamptonshire villages, for the Great Britain Formula One Grand Prix and both Peter and Lucinda got dressed up for Wimbledon.

The Burlings were guests in the royal box on the sixth day of the tennis tournament, and among the sports stars in their row was British sailing champion Sir Ben Ainslie, one seat down. Burling is making a return to ocean racing as a crew member on the French trimaran Trim SVR-Lazartigue in the Rolex Fastnet Race, just days after sailing in the British Sail GP this month. Burling will race with the Black Foils in Portsmouth this weekend and then head to Cowes in the Isle of Wight to join the French team, which will race over 600 nautical miles to Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, France.

Burling, who sailed in the Volvo Ocean race in 2017, told Yachting World that when SVR-Lazartigue contacted him to race, it was an easy decision to say yes. 'I've always loved offshore racing – that's what led me to the Ocean Race. The Ultim class is the pinnacle of high-performance offshore sailing,' said Burling. 'These boats are incredibly innovative and versatile. I'm really excited to get back offshore and to learn more about how this class is evolving.' The family will get some time at home in New Zealand this summer, when SailGP returns to Auckland in February. The Kiwi It-girls in the Med London-based Kiwi It girl Kimberly Owen is hitting Europe's hot spots this summer, and a new generation of women is following in her footsteps. Kimberly Owen has been enjoying the European summer. It's been nearly a decade since Society Insider announced that Owen, the daughter of one of New Zealand's most successful property men, Steve, was relocating to London, where her father owns a smart abode in Belgravia and she mixes with the city's elite. Owen was a guest last month at what was billed as the biggest party ever on the Spanish party Island of Ibiza: the opening of the new super club UNVRS, featuring a star-studded lineup of DJs including Carl Cox and Jamie Jones, and celebrities such as Will Smith and English football star Jude Bellingham. UNVRS has been called the world's largest nightclub, with a capacity of 10,000. VIP tables with table service for eight guests are said to cost more than $3000 for DJ booth access and it can cost twice that for a prime dance-floor table. Kimberly Owen at UNVRS Enchanted Forest in Ibiza. Last week, we reported that Gretchen and Duncan Hawkesby's son Dylan enjoyed the club with friends as part of his 19th birthday celebrations. Owen was back in Ibiza last week for the UNVRS Enchanted Forest party, where the club transformed into a forest of sequins. The next generation of Kiwi women turning heads in the Mediterranean are London-based model Ella Sloane, Auckland-based social media co-ordinator Estella Gapes and Sydney-based model Yasmin Christian.

Sloane and Gapes have also spent time in Ibiza recently, enjoying the world-renowned outdoor nightclub Ushuaia's high-energy techno Ants Metal Works party. The pair also spent time in Marbella and celebrated Gapes' 23rd birthday in Madrid, before heading back to London to enjoy Sabrina Carpenter's concert VIP-style at Hyde Park. This week, Gapes enjoyed the sights and sounds of Saint-Tropez and Cannes and tells Society Insider the whole trip so far has been amazing. Christian has taken time out of her successful Australian modelling career to enjoy the European summer. So far, she has enjoyed time in Paris, France and Monaco, island-hopped in Greece and taken in Rome, the Amalfi Coast and Capri, in Italy, and this week, Spain. Yasmin Christian on the Amalfi Coast.

In Capri, the terrace at restaurant Villa Verde was stunning,' says Christian. Also in Spain is Auckland Bay Audiology heiress Ali Andrews, who married multi-billionaire Chanel heir Raph Wertheimer in a private ceremony at their home base of Manhattan in December. The couple started the European season in London, where Andrews caught up with Lucinda Burling. Ali Andrews (centre) with her friends in Marbella.

The couple joined friends in Marbella this week, staying at a palatial casa. In honour of their wedding, Andrews and Wertheimer had a celebration dinner at the Coya Club, Puente Romano. Jesse James holds a Texas fundraiser at his new Ponsonby hotspot Tradie, extreme sports athlete and YouTube star Jesse James hosted a fundraiser at the Ponsonby Rd bar he co-owns, Jolene, on Saturday afternoon to support victims of the Texas floods. The event came just a week after Jolene's opening party. 'When I saw the catastrophic floods, we couldn't sit around and do nothing,' James tells Society Insider. Jolene co-owner Jesse James with singer Mitch James at Jolene. 'In my teens, I spent time at a summer camp in Maine, so it rang home, the loss of life for so many people affected in Texas. I knew Jolene had to hold an event to raise money for the families who have lost so much.' James grew up on Auckland's North Shore, and chased an endless summer between the US and New Zealand in his teens after completing his plumbing apprenticeship. In between tradie jobs he would seek extreme sports adventures, including wakeboarding, skydiving, surfing, motorsports, boating and freediving. He took his love of creating extreme sports content for YouTube internationally. He often travelled with his best mate, fellow tradie and YouTube star, Queensland-based Logan Dodds, who was there to support his fundraiser last Saturday. James has opened Jolene alongside hospitality lads Thane Kirby and former Olympic decathlete Brent Newdick, at 164 Ponsonby Rd, the former site of Mexico. Jolene co-owner Brent Newdick.

Ponsonby's 'new home of country music and attitude' sits across the road from Kirby's new spot with Luke Dallow, Gigi Bar and Restaurant, which opened in May. At Jolene's opening party James' friend, singer Mitch James, performed. Guests included Precinct Properties' Lily Montana, lawyer Taylor Sutherland and James' good mate, former world champion wakeboarder Brad Smeele and his family.

When Auckland nurse Rachel Lockwood saw Jolene fundraising for the Texas Flood Relief Fund, she asked if she could attend the event to share a personal connection. Lockwood had spent time working at Heart O' the Hills, a Texas Summer Camp for girls by the Guadalupe River, which was completely washed away by the floods. 'I am grateful to Jesse and the team at Jolene for putting on a beautiful event and to everyone who showed up to show their support,' says Lockwood. The afternoon event was family-friendly and alcohol-free, to mark Dry July. Sponsors came on board from Asahi 0.0% and Sober AF drinks, with food served by Hamish Pinkham's Tex-Mex pop-up, Sheppards Kitchen. 'All the money we raised from the drinks and food will be going straight to the relief fund,' says James. Rosie Teese and her band play at the Texas Flood Fundraiser at Jolene. Kiwi country star Rosie Teese and her band led the day's entertainment with her new single Breathe, which is released this week. In February, before he opened Gigi, Kirby and Newdick were doing Jolene pop-up nights at 155 Ponsonby Rd. 'I have known Brent for a decade, and when I saw what he and Thane were doing, I loved it,' says James. 'I perched up at the bar and said, You two should do this with a permanent spot with a real cowboy,' he says. When Mexico closed its doors in Ponsonby in May, the posse went about securing a permanent home for Jolene. Jolene co-owner Jesse James. James, whose full name is Jesse James Cassrels, says his dad, Geoff, named him after the legendary American Western outlaw, which gave James a fascination for America's Wild West. His mother, Arnse, is a singer-songwriter and his cousin is singer Benee. James says music is very much in his blood and Nashville, Tennessee, is his second home. James says line dancing and ladies-only nights will be part of Jolene's schedule. 'Customers have a great time enjoying fantastic country music and authentic, Southern-inspired food.'

Panerai renews Luna Rossa partnership with new new Luminor timepieces
As the continued official sponsor of Italian sailing team Luna Rossa, Panerai introduces two new Luminor novelties to the Luna Rossa collection, namely the Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa PAM01654 and the Luminor Luna Rossa PAM01653. Image courtesy of Panerai. Both of these additions are highly performing mechanical timepieces which have been tested for the toughest conditions to ensure reliability, durability and functionality — taking inspiration from Panerai's rooted connection with the marine world and Luna Rossa's striking aesthetics and visual identity. You'll find key elements of the Luminor collection in both watches, from the distinctive signature crown-protecting device with lever to the luminous dial, that offers optimal readability in all conditions. Further supporting performance is the rhodium small seconds display which allows you to verify functionality with ease. Image courtesy of Panerai. The watch is also easily readable even in low-light conditions, thanks to the Super-LumiNova X1 on the markers and hands. For the sporty casual Luminor Luna Rossa PAM01653, you'll find that it is crafted from the premium AISI 316LVM – 1.4441 stainless steel, which is known for its strength and corrosion resistance. It is essentially vacuum arc remelted to maximise purity and improve resistance to corrosion. Luminor Luna Rossa PAM01653. Image courtesy of Panerai. Each PAM01653 watch has been rigorously tested too, ensuring that it has guaranteed water resistance value that meets Panerai's stringent standards. On the other hand, the limited edition Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa PAM01654 is made with a Titanium 44mm case, which is a material that is much lighter than steel, making the watch more comfortable on the wrist. It is also resistant to corrosion and physical wear, providing you with longevity for everyday use. Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa PAM01654. Image courtesy of Panerai. Powered by the P.9100 caliber, the PAM01654 incorporates the flyback chronograph function with tachymeter scale for nautical use; allowing the chronograph hands to reset to zero and restart instantly with a single press. Over on the design front, the PAM01654 features a grey matt-tone sandwich dial which embodies the bold and technical ethos of the Luna Rossa team, and is accented with striking red details and the team decal. Both timepieces are now available at Panerai boutiques in Singapore.

A Venerated Italian Brand's Stunning New Sailing Watch Revives Classic Mechanical Magic
Panerai's latest Luminor references honor the brand's ongoing support of the America's Cup-contending Luna Rossa team. Every product is carefully selected by our editors. If you buy from a link, we may earn a commission. Learn more Sports cars. Motorcycles. Leather shoes. These are the types of high-end products we typically associate with Italy. But when it comes to luxury goods, the boot-shaped nation is hardly limited to those categories. Just look at Panerai. Founded by Giovanni Panerai in Florence, Italy in 1860, the brand really blossomed early the following century, when it began supplying technical equipment and precision instruments to the Italian Navy — including gun sights illuminated by Radiomir. From 1935 to 1970, the brand teamed up with Rolex to produce high-performance dive watches for the Navy, eventually replacing Radiomir with the safer, tritium-powered Luminor. And while Panerai is now headquartered in Geneva (where else?), its watches still boast a unique Italian flair. The Luminor collection leads the line for Panerai, and the latest reference upholds that proud tradition in exemplary fashion. The latest example? The glorious new Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa Titanio, one of two new Luminor references celebrating Panerai's continuing sponsorship of the Luna Rossa team. These watches are particularly special because the 38th America's Cup challenge will take place in Naples, bringing sailing's most prestigious competition to Italy for the first time. Currently offering dozens of references, the Luminor collection leads the line for Panerai, and the latest references uphold that proud tradition in exemplary fashion. Classic elements include the signature crown-protecting device with lever, luminous dial, rhodium small seconds display and Super-LumiNova X1 on markers and hands, making the watch easy to read in low light, a nod to the brand's naval background. Limited to 150 examples, the Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa Titanio features a 44mm case made of titanium, making it comparable to steel in strength but 44 percent lighter, plus resistant to corrosion and wear and generally optimized for long-time usage. Designed to meet strict mechanical standards, the watch is powered by the brand's first automatic movement with chronograph functions, the P.9100 caliber, visible through the sapphire crystal open case back. A key feature is the flyback chronograph, with tachymeter scale for nautical use, enabling the chronograph hands to reset to zero and restart instantly with one button press. This movement also boasts a 72-hour power reserve and a vertical clutch and column wheel mechanism, with chronograph minutes displayed by a central hand that jumps forward every 60 seconds. The sandwich dial is an understated grey matt-tone accented with red details and the Luna Rossa team decal. The symmetrically positioned subdials are easy to read, and the red chronograph hands offer their own distinctive pop. The PAM01654 comes on a black and grey bi-material strap featuring the Luna Rossa stripe. An additional black rubber strap comes with the watch as well. For those seeking similar vibes at a more accessible price point, Panerai has simultaneously introduced a simplified sibling, the Luminor Tre Giorni Luna Rossa (PAM01653). While it retains many of the trademark Luminor and Luna Rossa touches, one primary difference is the case. Also measuring 44mm, it is made of stainless steel, remelted for an impressive polished finish and increased corrosion resistance. Powering this option is the P.6000 caliber, a hand-wound movement with a three-day power reserve. Measuring 15½ lignes in diameter, it features a balance wheel that oscillates at 21,600 vibrations per hour. Adding to the precision is a traversing balance bridge that securely positions the oscillator. The P.6000 offers a hacking (aka stop-second) function. It pauses the balance wheel and seconds hand when the winding crown is pulled out, which enables precise time adjustments. Limited to 150 examples, the Panerai Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa Titanio (PAM01654) is available now for $16,400. The Panerai Luminor Tre Giorni Luna Rossa (PAM01653), meanwhile, costs $6,900. $16,400 at Panerai Now managing editor, Steve has served in a variety of roles with GP since 2019. Having previously written and edited for such publications as Men's Health, Men's Journal, Esquire and ESPN, he enjoys covering a range of topics — but mostly those pertaining to cycling, snow sports, pocket knives and motos — and dreams of a utopian world in which everyone's bike seat is at the proper height.

Panerai Unveils 2 Luminor Watches As Official Sponsor Of Luna Rossa
The Panerai Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa PAM01654 Panerai will continue its role as Official Sponsor of Luna Rossa, the Italian sailboat racing team, as it competes in the 38th America's Cup, with the finals set for Naples, Italy, in 2027. The relationship between Panerai, the Italian watch brand known for its high-performance seafaring timepieces, and Luna Rossa began in 2019 as the team prepared for the 36th America's Cup in Auckland in 2021 and continued through Barcelona 2024. Marking the third America's Cup campaign of this partnership, Panerai introduced two new Luminor novelties to the Luna Rossa collection: the Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa PAM01654 and the Luminor Luna Rossa PAM01653. The Luminor collection is known for its signature crown protection device with lever and its luminous dial, offering optimal readability in all conditions. The rhodium small seconds display allows users to verify functionality. Panerai uses the Super-LumiNova X1 on markers and hands, which the watchmaker says ensures the watch is easily readable even in low-light conditions. This is a crucial feature for military naval missions as the watch brand is historically known for supplying timepieces for the Italian navy and other military forces. Panerai Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa PAM01654 This watch is available in a limited edition of 150 pieces. It has a 44mm titanium case, a lightweight metal known for its strength and durability. It is resistant to corrosion and physical wear, providing robustness and longevity. The watch is water resistant up to 10 bar (approximately 100 meters), with each watch subjected to a pressure 25% greater than the guaranteed water resistance value to meet Panerai's standards. The watch is powered by the P.9100 caliber, Panerai's first automatic movement with chronograph functions. It incorporates the flyback chronograph function, with tachymeter scale for nautical use. This feature allows the chronograph hands to reset to zero and restart instantly with a single press. This eliminates the need for the traditional three-step process of stopping, resetting and restarting. The push-button operates the flyback function at 8 o'clock, which also resets the hands to zero when the chronograph is stopped. The pusher is marked by R for reset and F for flyback with red lacquered details. The caliber is also characterized by a vertical clutch and column wheel mechanism with chronograph minutes displayed by a central hand that jumps forward every 60 seconds. Equipped with two patented mechanisms, the movement has a 72-hour power reserve, achieved through twin spring barrels in series. The caliber is visible through a sapphire crystal caseback. The caseback of the Panerai Luminor Chrono Flyback Luna Rossa PAM01654 The two-lawyer 'sandwich' dial is in a gray matt finish. It is accented with red details and the Luna Rossa team decal. The subdials are positioned for symmetric balance and readability. The watch is completed with a black and gray bi-material strap with the 'Luna Rossa' stripe and an additional black rubber strap. Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa PAM01653 PAM01653 The 44mm case of this watch is crafted from AISI 316LVM - 1.4441 stainless steel, known for its strength and corrosion resistance, Panerai said. It is vacuum arc remelted to maximize purity and improve the resistance to corrosion. This alloy consists of iron with a chromium content of 17.0-19.0%, 13.0-15.0% of nickel, and 2.5-3.2% molybdenum for the main alloying elements. The Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa PAM01653 Like the previous timepiece, this watch is water resistant up to 10 bar (approximately 100 meters), with the same test standards of being subjected to a pressure 25% greater than the guaranteed water resistance value. This sporty-casual watch also has a minimalist gray sandwich dial. The engraved indices and clean layout emphasize legibility and functionality with the Luna Rossa decal positioned at 6 o'clock and the small seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock. subtle red accents represent the team's colors.

The balance wheel oscillates at 21,600 vibrations per hour. A traversing balance bridge securely positions the oscillator, enhancing the movement's stability and precision. In addition, the watch has a stop-second function, which halts the balance wheel and seconds hand when the winding crown is pulled out, allowing for precise time adjustments. The watch is complemented with a black and gray bi-material rubber and gray textile strap with the Luna Rossa stripe as well as a second black rubber strap.
