Oyster Perpetual

Yacht-Master

Staying on course, mapping invisible routes.

For those at sea, staying on course is a constant challenge. When dealing with the elements, nothing is certain and constant reaction is required to stay in the right direction. Since its launch in 1992, the Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master has been equipped with a bidirectional rotatable bezel that facilitates the calculation and reading of navigational time. Elegantly combining functionality and nautical style, this watch has made its mark well beyond its professional realm.

A shared quest for precision

Knowing where you are in space and time, setting a course and sticking to it are vital in navigation. Given its function, the watch is an essential tool for sailors to assess their position. Regarded as the most precise horological instruments in the world, marine chronometers have been certified by astronomical observatories since the 18th century. At the time, the ultimate authority for measuring chronometric precision was the Kew Observatory in Great Britain.

In 1914, the founder of Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf, had one of the brand’s watches tested by this very observatory, which certified it as a chronometer: a first in the watchmaking world for a wristwatch. Since then, renowned sailors, such as Sir Francis Chichester and Bernard Moitessier, have navigated the seas with Rolex wristwatches serving as onboard chronometers.

Matching the precision of marine chronometers was fundamental to Rolex’s watchmaking.

Designed for navigators

Sailing occupies a special place in the world of Rolex. In 1958, the brand partnered the New York Yacht Club, creator of the legendary America’s Cup. Rolex then formed partnerships with several prestigious yacht clubs around the world and became associated with major nautical events – offshore races and coastal regattas.

These strong ties culminated in 1992 with the launch of the Yacht-Master. Boasting the robustness and waterproofness of our Oyster case, this chronometer is fitted with a bidirectional bezel with raised 60-minute graduations to enable navigational time to be calculated and read.

Precious on land and at sea

Available in three diameters – 37, 40 and 42 mm – and in various precious versions – 18 ct yellow, white and Everose gold – as well as in Everose Rolesor and Rolesium versions, the Yacht-Master is unique in the world of Rolex professional watches. An elegant watch with a sporty character, it was the first to be paired with an Oysterflex bracelet in 2015.

In 2023, after testing under real-life conditions by acclaimed helmsman Sir Ben Ainslie, Rolex launched a new version of the Yacht-Master 42. It is made of RLX titanium, a high-performance material, at once light, robust and corrosion resistant.

A veritable ally at sea, the Yacht-Master also elegantly adorns the wrists of navigators once back on solid ground. With many different versions, it is a model that transcends its seafaring origins. It has become a watch for those who know how to change course without losing sight of the horizon, moving freely.

Who is Ralph de la Torre? The CEO of Steward Health Care with a $40 million yacht

Once a respected cardiac surgeon, Dr. Ralph de la Torre, chairman and CEO of Steward Health Care , has been publicly criticized for living a lavish lifestyle — owning not one but two yachts — while running his company into the ground.

De la Torre bought his $40-million yacht after Steward sold its hospital properties to Medical Trust Properties (MTP), a real-estate investment trust, in 2016 — a deal that resulted in a massive payday for executives while leaving the Steward-operated hospitals to face steep annual rents as they transitioned to being tenants under MTP’s ownership.

On Monday, those financial troubles came to a head when Steward filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy .

When de la Torre first started Steward in collaboration with Cerberus Capital Management, a New York-based private equity firm, his self-described goal was to create an affordable approach to healthcare that served vulnerable populations.

Instead, doctors, nurses and elected officials have criticized the for-profit network for prioritizing their own profits over patient care.

Here’s everything you need to know about the man behind Steward's downfall.

6 jaw-dropping revelations Stunning takeaways from Steward Health Care's bankruptcy filing

Does Steward’s CEO have a $40 million-dollar yacht?

In February of this year, Boston Globe columnist Brian McGrory revealed that Steward’s CEO owns not one, but two yachts.

De la Torre bought the $40 million, 190-foot yacht named the "Amaral" a few years ago, according to McGrory’s reporting for the Globe . De la Torre's other yacht is a $15 million, 90-foot sport fishing boat named the ‘Jaruco.'

The Amaral is a massive, six-bedroom yacht that costs about $4 million a year to run, according to SuperYacht Fan .

What will happen to Good Sam? What to know about Steward Health Care amid bankruptcy, financial crisis

According to reporting by The American Prospect , Steward acquired at least two business jets and a private suite at Dallas’s AA Arena, where the NBA’s Mavericks play. 

Where did Ralph de la Torre work before Steward?

In 2008, de la Torre became the CEO of Caritas Christi Health Care, a struggling hospital network in Massachusetts. A few years later, he made a deal with Cerberus Capital Management to start Steward Health Care and invest money into struggling hospitals.

Is Ralph de la Torre a medical doctor?

De la Torre graduated from Duke University in 1988 and got his medical degree from a joint program between Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1992, according to his biography.

Before his stint as CEO of Steward, he was the founder and CEO of the Cardiovascular Institute at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and Cardiovascular Management Associates, according to his biography on Steward’s website . He also worked as the Chief of Cardiac Surgery at BIDMC.

What is Ralph de la Torre’s salary?

According to reporting by The American Prospect , an individual familiar with Steward’s finances estimated he makes about $16 million per year.

In 2020, de la Torre bought Steward from Cerberus for $335 million, but with his own stake in the investment company, used Steward’s cash to pay himself a $100 million dividend, according to that same reporting.

Where does Ralph de la Torre live?

According to reporting by the Globe , de la Torre lives in a Dallas "mansion" and shares a neighborhood with former President George W. Bush and Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and longtime panelist on ABC's "Shark Tank."

When de la Torre was living in Boston, he lived in a seven-bedroom home in West Newton that he sold for more than $6 million in 2013, according to reporting by Boston.com .

Who is Ralph de la Torre’s wife?

According to reporting by the Globe , de la Torre met his first wife, Wing Cheung de la Torre, a native of Hong Kong while he was in medical school. They married in 2004 and had twin boys in 2008. In 2018, she filed for divorce.

He later remarried Nicole Acosta, a self-described real estate representative, according to the Globe.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

• Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
• Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.

11 Best Pimple Patches for Every Type of Breakout, Tested by Glamour Editors

By Danielle Sinay

As someone with sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin, I could talk about the the best pimple patches—and why they’re so important to me—for literal days. Possibly even months. Fortunately for anyone who knows me IRL, I'm putting that energy into this article. You're welcome in advance.

As for why I'm so genuinely passionate about pimple products? Well, nothing else I've tried has successfully treated—or even slightly impacted—my aforementioned monthly breakouts. Spot treatments and face serums are great for preventing blemishes over all, and even treating other types of pimples like blackheads , whiteheads, and “traditional” breakouts. But, when it comes to my stubborn, hormonal, and cystic acne—which decorate my jawline and left cheek every month like clockwork—pimple patches never disappoint. (Trust me, my own wedding day beauty routine unfortunately included salicylic acid -spiked patches.)

The best pimple patches, at a glance

• Best Salicylic Acid Pimple Patches : Peace Out Salicylic Acid Acne Healing Dots , $19
• Best Hydrocolloid Pimple Patches : Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch The Original , $12
• Best for Cystic Acne : ZitSticka Killa Kit Self-Dissolving Microdart Acne Pimple Patch , $14
• Best K-Beauty Pimple Patches : COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch , $6
• Best for Preventing Breakouts : Peter Thomas Roth Acne-Clear Invisible Dots Blemish Treatment , $32
• Best for Sensitive Skin : Rael Beauty Miracle Patch Invisible Spot Cover, $7

Do pimple patches work?

Obviously, I'm a pimple patch stan, but seeing as I'm no chemist or dermatologist, I tapped an expert. “Pimple patches are essentially small bandaids placed over pimples to encourage them to resolve as quickly as possible,” Adarsh Vijay Mudgil, MD , a board-certified dermatologist and founder of New York City’s Mudgil Dermatology, tells Glamour . "They're made using hydrocolloid material, which draws moisture out of the underlying area, while some contain benzoyl peroxide and/or salicylic acid, classic acne-fighting ingredients, which help exfoliate the underlying pimple.”

I still don't know if it’s the zit stickers' robust formulations or the physical barrier preventing me from popping, picking at, or even touching my blemished skin, but what I do know  is that they really work for me. Several other Glamour editors and fellow beauty lovers feel the same, too, meaning that the best pimple patches really are worth the hype.

Now that you're an expert in all things pimple patches, get your carts ready, and say bye bye to those stubborn blemishes.

Best Salicylic Acid Pimple Patches : Peace Out Salicylic Acid Acne Healing Dots

Peace Out's pimple patches are more than a cult-favorite, it seems like everyone, no matter the skin type or interest in skin care, loves them equally. Case in point: Dr. Mudgil also cites them as one of his top picks. “Peace Out Acne patches are excellent; they contain salicylic acid and retinol, which work well to ‘dry out’ pimples,” he says. Skin care expert and content creator Matt Woodcox (you've likely seen his skin care memes @ dirtyboysgetclean ) feels the same way.

“These are the best pimple patches ever,” Woodcox tells Glamour . “They actually contain acne-fighting ingredients in them unlike many others, meaning they not only eradicate the zit, but ensure the skin where the zit was is healed and not left looking like a wound!”

Best Hydrocolloid Pimple Patches : Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch The Original

Glamour shopping editors—who again, quite literally shop for a living—can't get enough of Hero Cosmetics' Mighty Pimple Patches. Glamour senior commerce editor Jenifer Calle absolutely “loves” them, Glamour commerce writer Andrea Navarro relies on them for preventing and treating her most stubborn acne. And Glamour 's beauty team feels similarly: Glamour senior beauty editor Ariana Yaptangco and I consider these to be some of our best, tried-and-true pimple patches of the hydrocolloid variety.

“I've tried almost every pimple patch under the sun, and these remain some of the best I’ve ever used,” writes Glamour beauty contributor Bella Cacciatore in her Mighty Patch review . “For starters, they stay put and don’t slide off in the middle of the night, which is crucial (and sadly, not always the case with other brands). They suck out all the gunk, flattening zits in just one night. I tend to be a popper (do as I say, not as I do), so my favorite way to use them is on picked-at zits, and they really help speed up the healing process. I’ll never be caught without a pack in my arsenal.”

Best for Cystic & Hormonal Acne : ZitSticka Killa Kit Self-Dissolving Microdart Acne Pimple Patch

ZitSticka Killa Kit Self-Dissolving Microdart Acne Pimple Patch

“ZitSticka Killa Kit is also an excellent product which contains salicylic acid,” says Dr. Mudgil, and I couldn't agree more.

You know those horrible, deep, and painful pimples that form beneath the skin? The kind that, no matter how much you poke, prod, or treat, just won't budge or stop growing? Well, I get at least one of those every month just before my menstrual cycle—sometimes, a few additional ones on my jaw—and nothing, and I mean nothing , has stopped them from getting worse but ZitSticka's Kit Self-Dissolving Microdart Acne Pimple Patches.

I know I'm not alone in that, either: I discovered these holy grail stickers whilst on a desperate Reddit query for anything that might keep hormonal breakouts at bay. One user's post about them was so convincing I decided to give them a try—it said something like, “these are the only patches that make a difference in my cystic pimples”—and months later, I wish I saved her username so I could thank her, because SAME! I've ordered and re-ordered more times than I can count because they really do stop those underground breakouts in their tracks, something I never even realized was possible. Cystic acne, you've met our match.

Most Trending Pimple Patches : Starface Hydro-Star + Salicylic Acid Pimple Patches

Starface Hydro-Star + Salicylic Acid Pimple Patches

Glamour commerce editor Jake Henry Smith is pretty much our in-house fashion expert, so it's no surprise his preferred pimple patch is equally stylish. “What’s so great about Starface’s pimple-shrinking protectors? They’re hydrocolloid patches, which are known to suck up inflammatory fluid from pimples, curbing my stress-induced popping habit in the process,” he writes in his review . “These are also infused with salicylic acid, an acne-fighting active ingredient that can halt breakouts and heal blemishes faster by unclogging sebaceous glands deep within the pores. Their star shape is actually pretty important too, since the pointy arm shape allows it to grip skin more effectively than a circle.”

While Smith knows he'll “be dealing with breakouts for the rest of time,” these adorable patches mean he no longer minds when pimples do pop up: “They’re simply excuses to accessorize a little more—and within a day or two, they’ll be gone.” It's no wonder they won a Glamour Reader's Choice Beauty Award !

While on the slightly pricier side of popular pimple patches, my good friend and fellow skin care enthusiast, Jessica Siskin , a New York City-based writer, content creator, author of Treat Yourself!: How to Make 93 Ridiculously Fun No-Bake Crispy Rice Treats , swears by the preventative powers of Peter Thomas Roth's Acne Clear Invisible Dots. In fact, she was so convincing in her plea she convinced me to try them myself.

“There's nothing else like the Peter Thomas Roth pimple patches—they completely nip pimples in the bud if they haven't opened yet," she tells Glamour . "Seriously, 99% of the time, if you feel a breakout coming, these will stop it from developing. They are life-changing .”

Best K-Beauty Pimple Patches : CosRx Master Patch Original Fit

CosRx Master Patch Original Fit

“This was the first K-beauty pimple patch I ever tried, and it still holds up,” says Glamour beauty contributor Sarah Y. Wu . “The thin hydrocolloid patches stay on all night (or day) and do an excellent job sucking out gunk from active breakouts. I also like that these packs come in a few sizes: small patches for my calmer breakouts and large dots for my monthly cystic chin acne. Everyone's covered.”

Siskin says the same, pointing to CosRx as one of her preferred budget patches. “These are a great, affordable hydrocolloid option, especially if a pimple is already open,” she says.

Here's another pick recommended by Wu. “These microneedling pimple patches just dropped this month and I'm already prepared to get backups,” says Wu. “They're studded with micropins 1/7th the thickness of a strand of hair and coated with a potent mix of salicylic acid, cica, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide. Together, they help target sebum and inflammation while keeping my skin hydrated. I put this on a cheek pimple overnight and was shocked at how much it went down the next morning.”

Best Pimple Patches for Sensitive Skin : Rael Beauty Miracle Patch Invisible Spot Cover

Rael Beauty Miracle Patch Invisible Spot Cover

TikTok star Tefi Pessoa turned me onto Rael's pimple patches and I've never looked back, since they're so sensitive-skin friendly, never fall off, and are genuinely invisible. “Rael's Miracle Patches make your pimples invisible, and they don’t move!” she told Glamour . They're so invisible, in fact, she wore them to the pool: “Nobody noticed when I wore one at the pool. I have very opinionated friends and they would've told me, but nobody could tell.”

Scarring after breakouts ? Look no further that Medicube's Deep Vita C Patch. “If your breakouts are healing and on their way to forming dark spots, slap one of these brightening pimple patches on immediately,” says Wu. “Each of the 149 microtips is infused with a vitamin-rich blend of ascorbic acid, niacinamide, and glutathione to target hyperpigmentation and soothe redness. Think of them as a super concentrated vitamin C serum that fades acne marks faster. I'm obsessed.”
