Making a splashLand Rover adds the Velar to its line-up

In this, the Digital Age of the iPhone, iPlayer, iEverything and the Daily Mail, it’s near impossible for anyone or any brand to keep a secret – Cheryl Cole heard she was pregnant before she even knew she was. It’s therefore hard to be-lieve that Land Rover, a universal name under an incessant media microscope, has been able to keep the launch of a new Range Rover model clandestine from prying eyes.

In fairness, Land Rover has had the perfect guise. While petrolheads have been looking east, speculating as to what will fill the vast chasm where once the mighty Defender dug in its brut-ish off-road tread, the engineers have been toiling away in the west, working on the fourth member of the Range Rover family: the Velar.

The Velar hangs from the luxury branch of the Land Rover baobab tree,

designed to fill the ‘white space’ between the Range Rover Sport and the Evo-que. Having dominated the SUV world, introducing a mid-size iteration was the next logical step. It is projected to emulate the Evoque’s success, which has been instrumental in growing Land Rover’s global sales.

The Velar is a nod to Land Rover’s prestigious bloodline, as the original Range Rover prototypes of 1969 were

known by the same name – it is Italian for ‘veil’ or ‘shroud’, which, given the na-ture of the reveal, is rather apt. It enters the market as competition to the likes of the Porsche Macan, the BMW X6 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupé.

Although at first glance the contrasts to its siblings are acute, the Velar does feature several unique character traits. This is the classic middle child: more daring and genetically-blessed than

the eldest, but not as wild and over-ly-confident as the youngest (there’s no convertible roof for the Velar in the pipeline just yet). It is easily one of the best-looking cars from the marque, with a finish of elegant refinement that has been achieved through the Land Rover belief in ‘reductionism’.

Not only does it look great, it’s also the most aerodynamically-efficient car to come from the Solihull factory, meaning

Need a light?The Ligne 2 Fire Head sounds as good as it looks

For more than 144 years S.T.Dupont has crafted beautiful objects that have been coveted by the European elite – not to mention three limited-edition collections for 007 himself. But its most iconic product is, without doubt, the Ligne 2 Fire Head lighter.

Although there are many lighters on the market, an S.T.Dupont iteration is inimitable. The Ligne 2 is elegant and

stylish, with a palladium finish and a bezelled geometric motif.

However, it’s not just the beauti-ful styling that makes an S.T.Dupont lighter instantly recognisable. You’ll always know when one is nearby from the iconic sound it makes when you flick it open. Designers think about how the crystal-clear chime of the lighter’s cap opening sounds before

anything else, as it is the most important part of the S.T.Dupont experience.

To make sure none of your cigar- toking pals walk away with your most gentlemanly of accoutrements, you can have the Fire Head engraved with up to three initials. All of the personalised engraving and embossing is done by S.T.Dupont’s master craftsmen and will take just two weeks.

‘THE ONLY METHOD I HAVE,’ muses Kyle Soller, ‘and it’s one that transcends all my roles, is to just do as much research as I possibly can.’

And that amounts to a lot of learning, as, for a young actor, 33-year-old Soller’s resume is surprisingly long.

From his early theatre work in the West End, via films such as Anna Karenina and The Fifth Estate, to television work including The Hollow Crown, You, Me and the Apocalypse and his best-known role as Francis Poldark, the American actor has played a range of parts – and he is an expert in every single one.

‘Whether that be reading up about the time period, or a person, or – for You, Me and the Apocalypse – learning about various disaster scenarios, I just gain as much knowledge as possible – to try to become an expert on whatever that character is about.

‘Otherwise, the audience can see the chinks – they can see the fakery.’

Soller was initially spotted by the Poldark producers while performing in the West End. ‘Several years back,’ he says, ‘I did three plays back-to-back – and I think that was the most significant period of growth in my career.’

And Soller, who singles out fellow American Sam Rockwell as an inspiration – ‘I dig how interesting his choices are, working in both theatre and film’ – is soon to return to the stage.

‘I’ve just finished shooting a film,’ the actor reveals, ‘but I’m actually just about to start rehearsals for Hedda Gabler at the National Theatre with Ruth Wilson – something I still can’t get my head around!’

The members of GunsOnPegs account for 85% of the total annual spend of £850m on game shooting. The magazine is mailed directly to the top 10% spending members of GunsOnPegs, and allows brands to directly reach this desirable demographic.

The Sportsman gets the rare chance to shoot sika, roe and fallow deer as we head to the sun-soaked valleys of the West

Country with Jason Ward of Thornhill Deer Management

W o r d s b y F R A N K S T E P H E N S O N

A Dorset triple

ith the August heat haze

still shimmering across the undulating Dorset landscape as the day drew to a close, stalking guide Jason Ward knew the best

bet would be to head to the woods. ‘There’s decent roebuck still in the area, and they’re still coming to the call here.’ With 30,000 acres of stalking, Jason’s business, Thornhill Deer Management, has thrived since he set it up five years ago. ‘My father had a stalking company years ago,’ Jason said, as we headed to one of his areas near Blandford. ‘I’ve been stalking since I was old enough to walk. Dad is from this area, and so I always went out with him.’

Roe, sika and fallow deer inhabit the area, and the mixture of forests, valleys and rolling hills mean Dorset’s landscape is any keen stalker’s fantasy playground. There are, says Jason, muntjac moving into the area, and with some ground for Chinese water deer near Northampton, there’s not much he can’t offer in the way of ungulates. Interestingly, though his foreign clients are always keen to shoot something unusual, in the way of sika, muntjac or Chinese water deer, ‘They only want to shoot one, then they want to hunt roe. I’ve got plenty of medal roebuck in this area, and we manage it carefully to ensure there are always a few ready to take every year.’

Twenty minutes from a comfortable two-bedroom log cabin, which guests can stay in, was the first area we’d be stalking, a large block of woodland, with oak and beech standing like ancient giants. Areas of young growth, and an understorey of bracken, brambles and thick spongey moss offered plenty in the way of shelter and food, and told of excellent forestry management.

Bridleways criss-cross the edge of the forest, leaving an inner sanctum of overgrown rides, dappled light and hopefully, roe.

We parked up, and I readied my rifle, a Merkel RX Helix in .30-06, filling the magazine and putting one in the chamber. We moved off slowly, working our way through the woods, watching for the twitch of an ear or the tell-tale flash of chestnut among the sombre tree trunks. Soon, our slow progress was rewarded. A buck, one antler slightly longer than the other, stood 40 metres from us. Just to his right was a doe and kid. ‘That’s the one I was after,’ Jason whispered.

The sticks up, the rifle steady, I locked in on the animal. As my thumb crept towards the safety, the buck sped off, with doe and kid following behind. Had they seen us, or simply sensed a predator nearby? We watched as they melted into the high bracken, and Jason used his Buttolo call to produce a few squeaks. The kid stopped, looking towards us. Then the doe reappeared, followed by the buck. I shifted the sticks 90 degrees to the left, repositioning myself behind the rifle. ‘If you get a clear shot, take it,’ Jason whispered, as he squeaked once more. I waited for the buck, which was now around 90 metres away, to give me a broadside view. Pushing the manual cocking system up, I steadied my stance. The rifle shot echoed through the woods, and the buck showed no sign of being hit. ‘I’ve clean missed!’ I said, working the bolt nonetheless, and keeping the buck in my sights. The buck took five steps and dropped dead on the forest floor.

Not only had the buck shown no sign at all of a hit, but the forest around us both absorbed and bounced sounds around, so we hadn’t detected the tell-tale ‘thunk’ sound a bullet makes when it finds its target.

Belvoir CastleBelvoir Castle, meaning ‘beautiful

view’, sits atop a steep hill in

Leicestershire. The stunning 19th-

century Regency house appears

to have fallen from the pages of a

romantic fairytale, with turrets and

towers fit for a princess. The castle

has been the ancestral home of the

Duke of Rutland for almost 1,000

years and currently houses the 11th

Duke and Duchess of Rutland and

their family. There are 13 magnificent

state rooms to choose from if

guests plan on staying the night,

including the Tapestry room and

Chinese rooms. There is also the

option to stay at Croxton Lodge,

nestled in remote parkland, with

eight bedrooms to choose from. No

request is too much at Belvoir and

the hospitality team will strive to

cater for your every need – be it a

medieval banquet, a whisky tasting

or a casino night. Shooting is run by

shoot captain and estate director Phil

Burtt who has been with the estate

for eight years. Belvoir boasts 73

well-established drives of pheasant,

partridge and duck and this year

they are aiming to achieve 150 full

shooting days. Guests can expect to

begin the day in the Castle’s Guard

room with a cup of coffee while pegs

are drawn, before heading out into

the 16,000-acre estate. There is the

option to either return to the castle

for lunch, followed by afternoon tea

once the shooting finishes, or have

lunch out in the field at the Happy

Beater barn, followed by dinner in

the castle at the end of the day. Jane

Jones, the shoot events manager,

says: ‘Belvoir is a fantastic location

The Superyacht Society

Expensive, exclusive and the envy of the world’s other 99% of holidaymakers, the ‘superyacht society’ is something we’d all like to join. And, with some of the world’s most luxurious destinations now catering specifically for yachts, it’s fast becoming the only way to visit them – the true sign of money, style and status. For the benefit of those already in the superyacht club, or those who dream about getting that much-coveted membership card, we look at six of the world’s top locations for yachts and their seriously classy ports, with the inside knowledge on what to do, where to go, and how to discover their best-kept secrets.

To celebrate 20 years of Chopard Manufacture, the iconic watch marque’s full-fledged manufacture in Fleurier,

Switzerland, Gentleman’s Journal has profiled five young, stylish and successful entrepreneurs who, like the craftsmen at Chopard, have turned their passions – from the worlds of

art, food, clothing and music – into their careers

Alexander Gilkes

Eton educated Alexander Gilkes is only 36, but he is already a veteran in the world of luxury auctions. His illustrious resumé includes becoming one of the youngest executives in the history

of Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy, and the director of marketing for Phillips. Having brought down the hammer on artworks such as the distinctive $53-million Rothko and, with more than

$1 billion of bids to his name, he is undoubtedly one of the leading auctioneers of his generation. His New York-based art auction site, Paddle8, seamlessly brings the traditional auction house onto

the web, hosting more than 500 auctions, including artworks by Damien Hirst and Jeff Koons.Alexander wears the L.U.C 8HF Power Control, £14,510

CHOPARD Entrepreneurs

Gentleman’s Journal Creative Solutions team works closely with brands to produce branded content that allows them to connect in the most meaningful way with our premium audience.

Gentleman’s Journal won the pitch to work closely with one of the world’s most iconic brands, Chopard, to bring a new vision to their premium products. To celebrate 20 years of Chopard in Fleurier, Switzerland, Gentleman’s Journal profiled five young, stylish and successful entrepreneurs who, like the craftsmen at Chopard, have turned their passions – from the worlds of art, food, clothing and music – into their careers



IWC ActorsIWC sponsor the British Film Institute in support of exciting young talent. They approached us with a brief to amplifythis partnership.

Gentleman’s Journal partnered with IWC and BFI to host a table at the gala din-ner in support of the bursary scheme awarded to exciting emerging young actors. We profiled 3 up and coming actors with different approaches to their art, but with one thing in common - great timing.

‘THE ONLY METHOD I HAVE,’ muses Kyle Soller, ‘and it’s one that transcends all my roles, is to just do as much research as I possibly can.’

And that amounts to a lot of learning, as, for a young actor, 33-year-old Soller’s resume is surprisingly long.

From his early theatre work in the West End, via films such as Anna Karenina and The Fifth Estate, to television work including The Hollow Crown, You, Me and the Apocalypse and his best-known role as Francis Poldark, the American actor has played a range of parts – and he is an expert in every single one.

‘Whether that be reading up about the time period, or a person, or – for You, Me and the Apocalypse – learning about various disaster scenarios, I just gain as much knowledge as possible – to try to become an expert on whatever that character is about.

‘Otherwise, the audience can see the chinks – they can see the fakery.’

Soller was initially spotted by the Poldark producers while performing in the West End. ‘Several years back,’ he says, ‘I did three plays back-to-back – and I think that was the most significant period of growth in my career.’

And Soller, who singles out fellow American Sam Rockwell as an inspiration – ‘I dig how interesting his choices are, working in both theatre and film’ – is soon to return to the stage.

‘I’ve just finished shooting a film,’ the actor reveals, ‘but I’m actually just about to start rehearsals for Hedda Gabler at the National Theatre with Ruth Wilson – something I still can’t get my head around!’

Turnbull & AsserTaking our brand partnership with Turnbull & Asser to the next level, we produced a multi-channel marketing campaign returning the brand to where it started – the classic white shirt.

Turnbull & Asser are known for the eccentricity of products, but we wanted to take things back to basics – focusing on the quality and detail of their product whilst retaining the brand’s tone of voice. Shooting a series of assets starting with a print advert in the magazine, we then continued the series on social media as well as shooting accompanying films at their Gloucester Factory.

As part of a collaboration with Land Rover, Gentleman’s Journal produced a three-page editorial focused on the launch of its new Range Rover model, the Velar. This was strategically placed within ‘The Pick’, the first section within each issue, providing the reader with interesting and digestible content before the features section.


it’s very economically-minded given that it can shift from still to 60 in 6.7 seconds, and certainly isn’t in line to be the next global warming scapegoat.

The usual qualities we have come to know and love (and expect, to be hon-est) from Land Rover all feature on the spec sheet: the unparalleled off-road capability; the smooth ride; thorough attention to detail; and head-turning beauty. But it’s inside, in the ‘calming

sanctuary’, that it gets really exciting. This is the most advanced and intui-tive model Land Rover has ever made, with a Touch Pro Duo infotainment system running through two 10-inch HD touchscreens, Driver Condition Moni-toring, matrix-laser LED headlights and deployable door handles. Luxury blends flawlessly with modernity – it has Gerry McGovern’s creative genius all over it.

Six variants of the Velar will be man-

ufactured, ranging from the clean 180PS 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel to the potent 380PS supercharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine. The latter will race to 60mph in 5.5 seconds and keep climb-ing all the way to its electronic limit of 155mph. It’s yet another exciting chapter in the Land Rover story.

The Range Rover Velar will be available from mid-July. Prices start at £44,830

“Gentleman’s Journal encapsulates the modern man and

everything in his lifestyle. Always delivering an intelligent

view, stylish and sophisticated with a dash of British wit.”

“Gentleman’s Journal is a refreshing, intelligent and essential style,

design, travel and culture companion for men.’’

“Sophisticated, well balanced and accessible. Feels real to life and

the articles are fun. Fills a gap in the men’s magazine market.’’

‘‘Ever since we first discovered Gentleman’s Journal we have been

avid fans. It is refreshing to discover a men’s magazine that covers

topics across the board in a unique manner, while still remaining

quintessentially British in its overall feel.’’

‘‘We are all fans of Gentleman’s Journal here at Hackett.

It has a great mix of articles, fashion and social pages and

has a real luxury feel. The sort of magazine that you file for

reference and don’t throw away!’’

‘‘We focused on adding a new title with the facility and know-how

to support us, not only via print media, but digitally as well. With

a team of specialists behind them, Gentleman’s Journal was the

perfect fit. GJ covers most, if not all of the topics that our Managing

Director looks for in a print magazine and for that reason we will be

continuing to support GJ.’’

‘‘Working with Gentleman’s Journal is more than straight

advertising. The relationship has brought good opportunities for

our brand and the team are great to work with’’

‘‘Gentleman’s Journal is one of the most sophisticated and

relevant platforms available to C&N for connecting with

gentlemen emerging as the future of superyacht charter

and ownership’’

“We chose to work with Gentleman’s Journal because it was the perfect

fit for my family’s business. The team there have built up a formidable

multi-channel media presence where they can build plans for our brand

that work across a number of platforms, which is exactly what we needed.

They are flexible and intelligent in their approach to how they can support

our brand, and creativity is at the forefront of their ideas. The magazine is a

great advocate for British craftsmanship, style, etiquette and culture.”
