It is effortless and instinctive: the skill of a Zen master.
When everything necessary has been absorbed, the response can be breathtakingly simple,
succeeding without appearing to try.
Once upon a time, intelligence and sophistication went hand in hand with
humility.
The pioneers of the past were shaped by common values: academic excellence, sporting prowess, rural tradition, urban sophistication,
and an intimate familiarity with the arts, culture and roots of civilization.
Some things never go out of fashion. Sophistication is not about showing off,
it is about eliminating the superfluous
to focus on the essential: elegance, intelligence, and setting a good example.
We believe in high performance,
driven by the common values of our time: Intelligence, erudition, the arts, technology,
business and fairness, style and sustainability,
an intuitive sense for the finer things in life.
We believe in effortless mastery,
rooted in a panoramic understanding of the world in which we live.
We believe in walking the talk, and leading from the front.
