After a successful first season, the Netflix hit Owning Manhattan is back for Season 2. The popular show hit streaming services on Friday, December 5, and it is already dominating on Netflix and viewers from around the world tune in to see stylish realtors selling ultra-luxurious abodes to their extravagantly wealthy clients. Starring Ryan Serhant, New York City real estate mogul, the show follows Serhant and his fellow realtors as they work to build their brokerage to become an indomitable #1.
In Episode 7, however, we are hit with a commercial real estate twist (fair warning: spoilers ahead). Serhant meets with Avi Hiaeve, our very own founder and CEO, to investigate an iconic commercial property: the former Playboy Club at the corner of 59th Street and 5th Avenue. Nestled in the heart of New York’s most luxurious shopping district, there is no question that this location is a winner. But can Hiaeve and Serhant make it a viable investment?

If you have had your eyes trained on the NBA Draft over the summer, this year’s All-Star game, or even the previous season’s finals, then you have almost certainly spotted luxury watches strapped around the wrists of your favorite basketball stars. NBA players are among the highest-paid athletes in the world, with household names like Kevin Durant and Steph Curry raking in easily over $50 million every year.

Every year, A-listers and star athletes around the world flock to New York City for the final Grand Slam tennis tournament of the season.

We catch sight of amazing luxury watches on the streets of Manhattan every so often, but the true hotspots for incredible watch sightings are red carpet events like the Met Gala, Grammys, Oscars, and more. You will also see some incredible timepieces on less famous red carpets, like the one at the NFL Draft and those gracing the entrances of charity galas.
In the past, we have zeroed in on memorable timepieces from key events (the Cannes Film Festival, for instance), showcasing the exceptional styles and one-of-a-kind watches that A-listers rocked and wore. But today, we are taking another tack. It is time to enter the next phase of the bracket with our red carpet roundup of the best watches worn across countless different upscale events.

Summer is the perfect time to escape the heat and spend a couple of hours in a cool, dark movie theater. Sip on a syrupy soda, feeling the bubbles burst on your tongue. Crunch your way through a bag of popcorn, the salty butter coating the roof of your mouth. Recline your red pleather lounger all the way back and tuck in for one of the summer’s biggest blockbusters.
This summer, there are some heavy hitters (and some less heavy hitters) coming to theaters near you. Some of this year’s most anticipated films, per Rolling Stone, are about to arrive in your local cinema. The only question that remains is which one you will choose on your ticket stub. Whether you are in for the nostalgia factor of a live-action Lilo & Stitch, or you are looking for heart-pumping adrenaline from Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, the biggest movies this summer are diverse and engaging.

The French Open, also known as Roland Garros, is one of tennis’s “Big Four” tournaments. In addition to Wimbledon, the US Open, and the Australian Open, Roland Garros is one of the most prestigious titles that a tennis player can take home. Each of these events has its unique character and style. Where Wimbledon is known for its grass courts and all-white attire, Roland Garros is famed for its red clay courts and its elegant Parisian location.
The clay surface slows down the game of tennis, demanding a unique skill set from players. Throughout this tournament’s storied history, there have been standout athletes who are known for their success on the clay. Rafael Nadal, dubbed the “King of Clay,” is perhaps most famous for dominating this particular surface, and his 14 Roland Garros titles cement this position. Other standouts include Bjorn Borg, Novak Djokovic, and Carlos Alcaraz, the young Spaniard who won the trophy in 2024. On the women’s side, Chris Evert, Iga Swiatek, and Justine
Every May, movie stars and celebrities from around the world congregate in the beautiful French Riviera for the renowned Cannes Film Festival. Like so many red carpet events, Cannes is a hotbed of incredible fashion and head-turning style. This prestigious event attracts the best of the best, and the watches spotted here in Southern France echo that sentiment.
We kept our eyes trained on the A-listers showing off their chic attire while celebrating directorial debuts and hot film releases in Cannes. Our goal? Catching sight of the luxury watches that these tastemakers chose to highlight at this ritzy celebration. Now, we are sharing our findings with you. Let us take a close look at the opulent timepieces that attracted almost as much attention as the global premieres at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

The Met Gala, hosted annually on the first Monday in May by Vogue’s Anna Wintour, has rightfully been dubbed the biggest night in fashion. The exclusive, invite-only event draws in the rich and famous from around the globe. These A-listers descend on New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the theme reflects a current exhibit at the museum’s renowned Costume Institute (which the gala is a fundraiser for”). This year’s theme? “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”
The exhibit drew its inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity as well as Zora Neale Hurston’s 1934 essay “Characteristics of Negro Expression” and is organized into twelve sections that represent the twelve characteristics Hurston outlines. This thought-provoking theme for the 77th Met Gala is resonant for numerous reasons, including but not limited to its juxtaposition with the current political state of the U.S. Additionally, it is the
