The Absolute 70 Fly was a world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival So impatient were two clients in the south of France for the Absolute 70 Fly that before a single image had been released, and nearly a year ahead of its debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2025, they had each placed

A well-fitted sport coat changes how you carry yourself. Off-the-rack options rarely account for your individual proportions, chest, shoulders, and arms, so many New Yorkers turn to custom tailoring. But what’s that actually going to run you? The answer hinges on several factors, and the range is wider than most people assume. This article breaks

For the world’s leading spirits and wine houses, a new release is rarely just about a new bottle design.

Victory Travels in A Trunk Before Spain lifted the World Cup trophy, it arrived on the pitch in a Louis Vuitton trunk. Since the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Louis Vuitton and the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) have built a close partnership.

An assortment of ornamental hard stones before they are cut into dials Slicing natural boulders into wafer-thin 1mm dials has long been one of horology’s highest-attrition nightmares. Today, as advanced laser cutting democratizes rare minerals, brands are finding that the universal hunger for unique and organic wrist canvases is rewriting the playbook. The appeal is

The 36 Exuma was a world premiere at Monaco Yacht Show 2025 For the owners of the first hull in Maiora’s 36 Exuma series, charter is not on the horizon. Their focus is on private cruising, which is what they’ve been doing since taking delivery in August 2025. Their itinerary has largely featured the Mediterranean,

In the high-octane world of horological “super-complications,” there is a prevailing logic that bigger is better. If you have 491 components to house, you usually reach for a case that commands real estate. But A. Lange & Söhne has never been a manufacture that follows the path of least resistance. Debuting at Watches and Wonders

Van Cleef & Arpels Midnight Heure d’lci & Heure d’Ailleurs 38mm in rose gold Do you remember where you were when the Tank à Guichets revival by Cartier dropped in 2025?

Bastille Day is more than France’s national celebration. It is also an opportunity to experience the country’s enduring art de vivre — a philosophy where gastronomy, hospitality, culture and design come together to define everyday luxury. From palace hotels that have welcomed royalty and couturiers to Michelin-starred restaurants reinterpreting French cuisine, and museums where centuries

French maisons have turned storytelling into a central pillar of their creative strategies. Dior Joaillerie transforms Christian Dior’s artistic universe into a fantastical landscape inspired by nature. Boucheron’s Carte Blanche: Human Being places humanity itself at the central source of inspiration, using craftsmanship as a reflection of individuality and emotion. Chaumet revisits its 240-year identity

As climate change brings increasingly frequent and intense heatwaves across Europe, the French capital is undertaking one of its most ambitious urban regeneration programmes in recent history.

The TH38 features exterior design by Italy’s Garroni Design Groupe Beneteau used to have one multihull brand. It now has four. Having developed Lagoon into the world leader in cruising catamarans and a builder of large power catamarans, Groupe Beneteau added the Excess brand of twin-helm sailing catamarans in 2019.

Does the future of the automotive industry belong to emerging tech-driven challengers from the east or the established giants of Detroit, Wolfsburg or Paris? For over a century, the global automotive industry has been defined by a familiar axis of power: Germany for flawless engineering, Japan for reliability and efficiency, and the United States for

The design language at the House of Harry Winston develops with an uncompromising commitment to extraordinary gemstones, like a continuous conversation between the past and present. The new Talk to Me, Harry Winston high jewellery watch collection proves it. Borrowing its moniker from Marilyn Monroe’s iconic 1953 declaration, “talk to me Harry Winston, tell me

An inviting, three-sided Ocean Lounge and surprisingly spacious, light-filled interiors that include a full-beam master suite with a ‘magic glass’ bathroom are just a few reasons behind its success.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has already produced several moments that challenge what viewers have come to expect of the games. While the tournament’s biggest names remain among the favourites, matches involving less established football nations have demonstrated that the gap between the sport’s elite and emerging teams is becoming increasingly difficult to predict. The

Photo: Maharishi The sports and fashion industry have always been closely intertwined, with talented athletes sporting fashion’s biggest names at worldwide sports events. The powerful relationship is now more evident than ever, with numerous luxury brands ensuring the star power of the athletes through ambassadorships, brand deals and collaborations. The infiltration of pop culture in

The FIFA World Cup has long been positioned as global sport’s most unifying spectacle, a tournament that transcends borders through shared cultural and athletic identity. Yet beneath its language of inclusivity and celebration lies a more complex infrastructure shaped by geopolitics and financial opacity. As the tournament expands in scale and commercial reach, the distance

The FIFA World Cup has always been the ultimate stage for athletic legacy, but today, the battle for global dominance is being fought just as fiercely in the commercial arena. As the tournament captivates billions of onlookers worldwide, top football players are transcending their roles as mere athletes to become the world’s most powerful brand

Football’s most coveted prize has worn two faces across almost a century. Far from being a simple redesign, LUXUO analyses why the two World Cup trophies existed and what the design change revealed about the tournament’s evolution from an ambitious international competition into a global and cultural institution. Every four years, the same ritual unfolds.

Monaco Evergraph 40mm in titanium For the better part of horological history, mechanical chronographs have worked the same way: a control system, whether column wheel or cam, trips a sequence of levers and springs to start, stop, and reset a seconds hand. The execution has been refined endlessly, with evermore contemporary materials and in the

In the traditional and sometimes glacial world of Swiss watchmaking, the birth of a new brand is frequently met with an unappetising cocktail of scepticism and weary curiosity. The industry is, after all, a landscape dominated by storied giants and conglomerates with the marketing wherewithal to bring narratives to life; many once-mighty names lie in

Selling an exotic vehicle involves far more than posting photos and waiting for offers. Rare specifications, service history, mileage, title status, paint protection, transport, and buyer credibility all shape the outcome. A specialist brings order to that process through model knowledge and disciplined purchase steps. Owners spend less time filtering weak inquiries, explaining basic details,

In luxury fashion, recognisability is often one of the hardest qualities to build for a brand. The distinctive clasp of a handbag, a particular watch bezel or a signature jewellery motif can take years to become associated with a house. Footwear is no different. Enter Aurélien’s Yacht Loafer — what began as the brand’s interpretation

Replacing tires and wheels often becomes urgent after uneven tread wear, a failed inspection, road damage, or a bent rim. That pressure can push buyers into quick payment decisions before the full cost is clear. Financing may ease the immediate hit to cash flow, yet the monthly amount tells only part of the story. A

Summer functions as luxury’s most emotionally receptive commercial window. Lowered routine structure, increased travel and heightened exposure to leisure environments shift consumer psychology away from necessity-driven decision-making towards aspiration-led consumption. Burberry’s Holidays on the Athenian Riviera at One&Only Aesthesis Burberry makes a return to Greece this season with an exclusive summer takeover at One&Only Aesthesis.

Summer 2026 sees luxury houses increasingly framing their collections through location and atmosphere rather than product alone.

Pool on the 24m sundeck on Daybreak, a Baglietto T52 Once viewed primarily as a European and US practice, chartering your yacht is now increasingly being explored by Asia-based owners – not as a commercial enterprise but as a structured way to optimise usage, offset operational costs and enhance long-term asset positioning.
