Discover the 37th edition of the BARNES MAGAZINE
For this spring/summer edition, we have chosen to pay tribute to Martine, Prosper, and Alexandre Assouline—a family united by a love of books. Their publishing house has spent over 30 years illustrating the beauty of the world, its places, and its people.
In this issue, where luxury and exclusivity take center stage, the renowned watchmaker Blancpain grants us the privilege of visiting its workshops in Switzerland. In Paris, the beauty temple Carita, located at 11 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, opens the doors of its iconic setting to retrace 80 years of history and transformation.
Savoir-faire, architecture, jewelry... The passion for luxury and design is also reflected in the art of living in unique spaces. A true symbol of elegance, Valérie Messika speaks to us about diamonds—an eternal emotion—on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of her namesake jewelry brand.
This same pursuit of the extraordinary also defines the luxury real estate market in Madrid, where tradition and modernity blend in perfect harmony. Iconic areas such as Barrio de Salamanca, Almagro, El Retiro, or the exclusive Golden Mile of Madrid are home to some of the most sought-after properties on the market. From refined period apartments to spectacular terraces, the offering reflects a sophisticated and highly coveted lifestyle.
For those looking to buy an apartment in Madrid or explore real estate investment opportunities, the current landscape is especially favorable. The Spanish capital stands out for its increasing rental yield, a stable property market, and strong interest from foreign investors, consolidating its position as a strategic hub in European real estate investment.
Once again, BARNES Magazine offers a panoramic view of our times: encounters, exchanges, and the discovery of exceptional properties from the four corners of the world, with a renewed perspective on excellence and the art of investing in authenticity.
