CZINGER 21C

BORN FROM INNOVATION, BUILT FOR DOMINANCE

Unleashing the Power of AI-Driven Automotive Design

Martin Frediani one-on-one with Lukas Czinger

Marcel Stefano contributed to this story

Czinger Vehicles was founded in Los Angeles in 2019 by visionary entrepreneur Kevin Czinger, Founder and Executive Chairman, alongside his son Lukas Czinger, Co-founder, President and CEO.

Eineered with the unmistakable innovation and style synonymous with Los Angeles, the brand is a groundbreaking proof of concept—an evolution born from Divergent 3D, its sister company and the driving force behind the revolutionary technologies that power the 21C hypercar. With over 600 patents covering these advancements, Czinger Vehicles is redefining the future of automotive manufacturing.

Kevin Czinger’s mission to disrupt the auto industry began with a fundamental realization: the way they build cars is far more damaging to the environment than how we fuel them. Determined to change this, he founded Divergent 3D, focusing on the development and patenting of a sustainable, high-performance production system. By leveraging automated design and optimization software, cutting-edge 3D printing technology, automated assembly, and proprietary high-performance materials, Czinger has created a groundbreaking manufacturing ecosystem that radically reduces environmental impact while pushing the limits of automotive performance.

A CONVERSATION WITH LUKAS CZINGER

We had the rare privilege of an exclusive one-on-one conversation with Lukas.

Born in London to a German mother and an American father, Lukas Czinger’s upbringing was as diverse as his aspirations. From an early age, Lukas exhibited a profound fascination with speed and engineering, passions that would later culminate in the inception of the Czinger 21C.

Lukas’ journey is deeply intertwined with that of his father, Kevin Czinger, the founder and CEO of Czinger Vehicles. Their collaboration extends beyond familial ties into a synergistic partnership that drives the company’s vision forward. Lukas joined the family business at 22 and, now at 30, plays a vital role in both the strategic direction and day-to-day operations of the company.

THE CZINGER 21C: A SYMPHONY OF INNOVATION

The Czinger 21C is not merely a car; it’s a revolution in automotive engineering. Designed, manufactured, and assembled in Los Angeles, California, the 21C utilizes the world’s most advanced production technologies. Its hybrid powertrain combines a bespoke twin-turbo V8 engine with three electric motors, delivering a staggering 1,350 horsepower. This configuration enables the 21C to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 1.9 seconds and achieve a top speed of 219 mph.

A distinctive feature of the 21C is its 1+1 seating arrangement, positioning the passenger directly behind the driver. This design not only draws inspiration from fighter jets but also enhances aerodynamic efficiency by reducing the frontal surface area. Lukas explains that this configuration provides an unparalleled driving experience, offering symmetry in handling and a central driving position that immerses the driver fully.

The brand offers an extensive range of customization options. Options range from a touring-style interior to a performance-oriented, track-ready package, which includes a track-focused exhaust system, a C5point harness system, and other performance enhancements.

When it comes to colors and materials, the possibilities are virtually limitless. Czinger’s design team meticulously reviews every specification, and Lukas personally ensures that each build aligns with the brand’s DNA. However, his priority is to bring each customer’s vision to life—whether it’s their preferred color scheme, interior materials, seat design, or a tailored fit for their driving experience.

Within their standard catalog, they offer dozens of material and color choices, but we also provide the opportunity for complete customization. If a customer wants to create a personal bespoke color, they will make it happen.

Additionally, thanks to their advanced additive manufacturing and 3D printing capabilities, Czinger can push customization even further. Over time, they are integrating customer-specific, one-of-one components—such as fully customized 3D-printed rim centers and other bespoke elements— giving each vehicle a truly personal touch.

The Czinger 21C is more than a hypercar; it’s a manifestation of what passion, innovation, and visionary leadership can achieve. Through the lens of Lukas Czinger, we witness the convergence of cutting-edge technology and a relentless drive to redefine automotive boundaries. As Czinger Vehicles continues its journey, the 21C stands as a beacon of what’s possible when ambition meets execution.

PUSHING BOUNDARIES

The Czinger team has pioneered a revolutionary suite of advanced design and manufacturing tools, seamlessly integrating supercomputing, machine learning, next-generation materials, additive manufacturing, and robotics into a patented production system. This breakthrough doesn’t just allow them to envision the future—it empowers them to create it.

By removing traditional design constraints, these tools have unlocked a new era of innovation, enabling the Czinger team to reimagine design, structures, and engineered systems in ways previously thought impossible.

LOOKING AHEAD: THE FUTURE OF CZINGER VEHICLES

While the 21C represents a monumental achievement, Czinger Vehicles’ ambitions extend further. The company envisions leveraging its proprietary technologies to revolutionize automotive manufacturing, aiming to introduce more models that embody the same spirit of innovation and performance. Lukas emphasizes that their goal is to establish Czinger as the premier supercar and hypercar brand in the Americas, filling a niche in the market for groundbreaking, American-engineered performance vehicles.

HIGH-TECH GEMSTONES

J The Future ofewelry Fine

The fine jewelry industry is undergoing a transformation with the rise of high-tech gemstones, particularly lab-grown diamonds. These innovations are reshaping the way luxury consumers view and value jewelry, offering ethical and sustainable alternatives that maintain the beauty, quality, and exclusivity of traditional gems. In a world where environmental consciousness is becoming a key consideration for affluent buyers, lab-grown gemstones represent the perfect blend of innovation and elegance.

Sustainability Elevating Elegance

Lab-grown diamonds are created in controlled environments using advanced technology that replicates the natural diamond-growing process. The result is a gem that is chemically, physically, and optically identical down to the atom level, to its mined counterpart. What sets these diamonds apart is their sustainability. Traditional diamond mining has long been associated with environmental degradation and ethical concerns, but lab-grown diamonds eliminate these issues, offering a guilt-free option for eco-conscious luxury consumers.

Brands like Richard van der Dys Fine Jewelers have embraced this shift, integrating lab-grown diamonds into their collections without compromising on artistry or exclusivity. These gems allow for the same brilliance, clarity, and durability as natural diamonds while appealing to a new generation of buyers who prioritize sustainability.

Innovation Unlocks Creative Potential

Lab-grown diamonds and other high-tech gemstones are also enabling a wave of creative innovation in jewelry design. Jewelers are no longer constrained by the natural limitations of mined stones, such as size, shape, or color availability. High-tech gems can be custom-grown to meet specific requirements, allowing for unique cuts, vibrant colors, and even personalized designs. For instance, rare hues like pink, blue, or yellow, which are exceedingly rare in nature, can now be replicated with lab-grown technology. This opens up exciting possibilities for bespoke jewelry, giving clients the opportunity to own pieces that are entirely one-of-a-kind.

A Changing Consumer Landscape

The luxury jewelry market is evolving alongside its clientele. Today’s affluent buyers, particularly Millennials and Gen Z, are more focused on ethical consumption and environmental impact than previous generations. Lab-grown diamonds align perfectly with these values, providing an option that is both

luxurious and responsible. Additionally, these gems are often more cost-effective than their mined counterparts, allowing consumers to prioritize quality and customization over rarity.

As technology continues to advance, lab-grown gemstones are set to dominate the fine jewelry market. Beyond diamonds, other hightech gems, such as lab-created emeralds, rubies, and sapphires, are gaining popularity for their consistency and affordability. In the future, we may see even greater integration of technology into the jewelry world, with AI-powered design tools and smart gemstones that incorporate digital elements.

The rise of high-tech gemstones marks a new era in fine jewelry, one where beauty, innovation, and sustainability coexist. For the discerning buyer, these gems represent more than adornment— they symbolize a commitment to responsible luxury and a future where elegance knows no compromise.

Les Toupies COLLECTION

In the realm of haute parfumerie, where tradition meets innovation, Henry Jacques stands as a beacon of olfactory artistry. The maison’s “Les Exceptions” collection, particularly the “Les Toupies” series, exemplifies this fusion, offering connoisseurs a sensory experience that transcends the ordinary.

“Les Toupies,” translating to “The Spinning Tops,” is a testament to Henry Jacques’ dedication to elegance and creativity. Each pair in this collection is meticulously designed, drawing inspiration from the playful elegance of spinning tops. The crystal flacons, handcrafted with precision, not only house the exquisite fragrances but also serve as objets d’art, reflecting the maison’s commitment to aesthetic excellence.

The collection features harmonious duos, each telling a unique story through its scent profile. For instance, the pairing of “Mr. H” and “Mrs. Y” offers a symbiotic olfactory journey, with each fragrance complementing the other, yet standing distinct in its character. This duality is a hallmark of the “Les Toupies” series, inviting wearers to explore the interplay between the fragrances.

Beyond the scents themselves, the presentation of “Les Toupies” elevates the experience. The flacons, reminiscent of spinning tops, are not only vessels for the perfumes but also symbols of balance and movement, capturing the dynamic essence of the fragrances within. This thoughtful design underscores Henry Jacques’ philosophy of creating perfumes that are as visually captivating as they are olfactively enchanting.

In essence, the “Les Toupies” collection is a celebration of haute parfumerie, where each element—from the fragrance composition to the flacon design—is crafted with unparalleled attention to detail. For those seeking a perfume experience that marries tradition with innovation, Henry Jacques’ “Les Toupies” offers a journey into the heart of French luxury and artistry.

The Power of Stewardship: Wealth, Faith, and Purpose

LMartin G. Frediani, Publisher

Luxury and faith may seem like contrasting forces, yet when properly understood, they are profoundly intertwined. The Bible speaks extensively about wealth—not as an end in itself but as a responsibility given by God. In Matthew 25:1430, Jesus tells the Parable of the Talents, illustrating that what we are given, whether in finance, influence, or opportunity, is meant to be multiplied for a greater purpose.

For those blessed with abundance, the challenge is not merely to accumulate but to steward wisely, aligning success with divine purpose. In an era where affluence often defines power, true greatness lies not in what we possess, but in how we use it for impact, generosity, and legacy. The Bible does not condemn wealth; rather, it elevates responsibility. King Solomon, one of history’s wealthiest figures, prayed not for riches but for wisdom, and was given both (1 Kings 3:9-13). Likewise, Abraham, the father of nations, was blessed abundantly so that he could be a “blessing to others (Genesis 12:2). These stories set a precedent: wealth is not the goal, it is a tool. Just as luxury requires meticulous curation, so does the responsibility of managing influence, assets, and opportunities. Those entrusted with much are called to elevate lives, whether through business, philanthropy, or mentorship.

Luxury and success often foster a mindset of ownership, a belief that we possess what we have worked for. Yet, biblical wisdom presents a different reality: everything belongs to God (Psalm 24:1), and we are merely stewards entrusted with it for a season. This mindset shift —from ownership to stewardship— transforms how we handle money, leadership, and influence. Wealth is not about status but service. Success is not about accumulation but multiplication. Luxury is not about indulgence but impact. To be a steward means living intentionally, managing resources not just for personal gain but for eternal significance.

A defining principle of stewardship is that giving does not deplete wealth—it expands it. The Bible is filled with paradoxes, none more powerful than the promise: “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over...” (Luke 6:38). History’s most influential Christian entrepreneurs -whether in finance, real estate, or philanthropy, understand that true affluence comes with open hands, not clenched fists. Many of today’s elite visionaries prioritize kingdom impact, channeling wealth into philanthropic foundations, faith-driven social enterprises, humanitarian missions and churches, and education and mentorship for future leaders. Giving does not just distribute wealth, it creates generational legacy, ensuring that faith and values endure long after the last financial statement is printed.

As luxury continues to evolve, the most visionary leaders are those who merge faith with influence, redefining what it means to be truly successful. The most prestigious homes, private jets, and highend investments are not just personal rewards, they are platforms to serve, inspire, and uplift others. Imagine a world where affluence is synonymous with generosity, where luxury is a reflection not just of wealth but of wisdom, purpose, and impact. Stewardship is not about having less; it is about leveraging more, for eternal gain. As Jesus said: “To whom much is given, much will be required.” (Luke 12:48). True legacy is not measured by what we own, but by what we build in the lives of others. The question is no longer “what will we leave behind?” —but rather, “who will we empower?”

Whether in business, wealth, or influence, the most powerful leaders are those who recognize that they are not owners, but stewards of something far greater than themselves. Luxury with purpose, wealth with wisdom, and success with service, this is the true calling of Christian stewardship. In the end, the most valuable investment is not in what we gain, but in what we give.

The Future Has a Body:

FIGURE 02

THE WORLD’S FIRST TRULY FUNCTIONAL HUMANOID

The future is no longer imagined. It’s being built. And right now, it’s standing up. Its name is Figure 02, and it’s not science fiction. It’s the most advanced humanoid robot on the planet. It doesn’t just walk, listen, understand, and respond; it works side by side with humans in one of the world’s most demanding industries: automotive manufacturing.

Figure 02 is the culmination of an obsession: to create artificial intelligence that not only thinks but moves, acts, and coexists with us. It is the ultimate fusion of body and artificial mind. And most striking of all—it’s already operational, working inside BMW’s plant in South Carolina, performing logistical tasks like any other employee—only without fatigue, mistakes, or breaks.

From Idea to Embodiment: The Journey of Figure AI

Behind this marvel is Figure AI, a U.S.-based tech startup founded in 2022. From day one, its mission was ambitious: to develop a general-purpose humanoid capable of executing physical tasks in any human environment.

What sets Figure 02 apart from other robots is its balance of cuttingedge hardware and conversational artificial intelligence. The company formed a strategic alliance with OpenAI (yes, the creators of ChatGPT), integrating cognitive capabilities that allow Figure 02 to understand complex instructions, hold natural conversations, and make decisions based on its surroundings.

In just three years, they went from concept to real-world deployment. This is not a trade show prototype. This is an industrial revolution in motion.

Why This Changes Everything

Figure 02 is more than an impressive machine. It marks a historical turning point: the moment robots stop being static assistants and become active partners in human progress.

Until recently, robotics was fragmented—automated arms, domestic assistants, cute prototypes that never left the showroom. But Figure 02 combines the best of all worlds in a single mobile, autonomous, and intelligent unit.

Immediate Social Impact:

It can perform repetitive, dangerous, or physically demanding tasks, freeing humans to focus on strategic and creative roles.

It promises to reshape entire industries, from manufacturing to logistics, customer service, and eventually even caregiving.

What Comes Next?

Although Figure 02 currently moves through a factory floor, the horizon is much broader. In the near future, we could see humanoids in airports, hospitals, luxury hotels, and even homes—as assistants, protectors, and silent executors of daily tasks.

For the world’s technological and business elites, these advances are not just fascinating—they’re an opportunity. To invest, to anticipate, to adapt. Because those who understand this shift first will lead the future.

The Luxury of What’s Possible

Luxcior, we believe true luxury lies in early access to the future. And today, that future has a face, a voice, and movement. It’s called Figure 02. And it’s more than a technological breakthrough—it’s a statement of intent.

The 21st century finally looks as it promised. And we are only just beginning. While it gained fame in 2021, Ameca officially debuted at the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), where its potential and sophistication truly dazzled. Continuous improvements have since been implemented, solidifying Ameca’s status as the most advanced humanoid robot of its kind.

Ameca’s optimistic vision for the future is rooted in its unique position at the intersection of cutting-edge robotics and artificial intelligence. Its remarkable ability to engage in complex conversations, recognize facial expressions, and navigate its surroundings transforms it from a mere technological marvel into a glimpse into the potential of AI and robotics to significantly enhance our lives.

FIGURE 02 IS MORE THAN AN IMPRESSIVE MACHINE. IT MARKS A HISTORICAL TURNING POINT.

MEN’S Symbol of Prestige

Luxury watches have long been a testament to craftsmanship, style, and status. More than just instruments to measure time, they have become icons of personal achievement, investment, and tradition.

Richard Van der Dys, Jewelry and Timepieces Editor

Icons of Horology

Brands like Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, and Rolex have built their legacies on the pursuit of perfection. Patek Philippe’s Grand Complications collection represents the pinnacle of mechanical inno-vation, with intricate designs that require years to perfect.

Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak, with its bold octagonal bezel, has redefined luxury sport watches, while Rolex’s Daytona remains a symbol of precision and endurance.

These watches are not just accessories -they are masterpieces. Each timepiece reflects the dedication of master watch-makers, whose expertise ensures that every component, from the tiniest cog to the polished case, is crafted with unparalleled precision.

INVESTMENT VALUE

Luxury watches have proven to be sound investments. Limited-edition models and vintage pieces often appreciate in value, commanding astronomical prices at auctions. Paul Newman’s Rolex Daytona, for example, sold for a record $17.8 million in 2017. Collectors view these watches as assets that combine beauty with long-term financial potential.

THE MODERN APPEAL

Today’s luxury watch market is evolving to meet contemporary demands. Sustainability is making its mark, with brands using recycled materials and renewable energy in production. Meanwhile, hybrid models, blending traditional mechanics with smartwatch capabilities, are attracting a younger, tech-savvy audience.

Luxury watches remain timeless symbols of prestige, bridging the past, present, and future with elegance and precision.

THE ROLEX PARADOX:

Why you can look, but you can’t buy

For decades, Rolex has symbolized success, precision, and exclusivity. Owning a Rolex isn’t just about telling time; it’s about making a statement. Yet, for those who aspire to join the club, a frustrating reality awaits—actually purchasing a new Rolex is nearly impossible. Walk into any authorized dealer,

Alfred Peñalosa, Senior Writer

and you’ll see elegant displays of Rolex watches behind glass, but try to buy one, and you’ll quickly be met with a knowing smile and a waiting list that can stretch for months if not years. So, what’s behind this near-mystical scarcity?

Rolex Controls the Supply—Tightly

Unlike many luxury brands that flood the market with their products, Rolex deliberately restricts the supply of its watches. Despite manufacturing an estimated one million timepieces annually, demand far outpaces availability. This artificial scarcity creates an aura of exclusivity and ensures that Rolex remains synonymous with desirability.

A Shield Against Devaluation

Rolex is one of the few luxury brands whose products appreciate in value over time. By controlling how many watches enter the market, Rolex prevents oversaturation, which could otherwise diminish their value. This strategy keeps pre-owned Rolex watches in high demand, sometimes selling for double or triple their original retail price.

The Dealer Conundrum

Authorized Rolex dealers receive limited inventory, and when they do, they have strict rules to follow. Many of the most sought-after models—like the Submariner, Daytona, and GMT-Master II—never even make it to the display cases. Instead, they are reserved for VIP customers, long-time collectors, and those with an established purchase history. The showroom models you see are often “exhibition-only,” meaning they are there to tempt but not to sell.

The Reseller Effect

Another reason dealers are hesitant to sell to just anyone is the rise of flippers—resellers who buy new Rolex watches at retail prices and immediately sell them for a hefty profit on the secondary market. To counter this, dealers scrutinize potential buyers and prioritize customers they believe will keep the watch rather than resell it.

Building a Relationship is Key

If you want to walk out of a dealer with a Rolex on your wrist, you’ll need more than just money—you’ll need a relationship. Regular clients who purchase other luxury brands from the same dealer, such as jewelry and non-Rolex watches, are often given priority when a coveted Rolex model becomes available.

The Prestige Factor

The illusion of unattainability plays a significant role in Rolex’s brand positioning. The harder it is to acquire a Rolex, the more desirable it becomes. This is the same strategy employed by luxury fashion houses that limit production to maintain exclusivity.

The Bottom Line

Rolex’s scarcity is not accidental; it’s a calculated effort to maintain prestige, value, and desirability. While this can be frustrating for aspiring owners, it only reinforces the brand’s legendary status. So, if you’re hoping to get your hands on a Rolex, patience, persistence, and a well-nurtured relationship with a dealer might be your best bets. Otherwise, the secondary market—at an inflated price—may be your only option.

Have Never Been Trendier Pre-owned Luxury Watches

For most of the last century, selling a watch, particularly a fine Swiss watch, was an embarrassing act of desperation.

Then came the internet, ushering in an era of transparency that permanently changed the dynamics of buying and selling both watches and jewelry.

Before, the secondary market was mainly driven by retailers who would trade in your watch to sell you a new one.

The availability of pricing information online made possible the pre-owned watch market’s spectacular ascent. Expected to total around $30 billion in 2025, it is on track to comprise half of the global watch market within five to 10 years, according to Karine Szegedi, managing partner of consumer industry and fashion and luxury at Deloitte.

But charting the category’s growth is virtually impossible.

“The fact that there are no estimates on the size of the pre-owned

watch market from the early 2000s shows how niche of a market it was back then,” Ms. Szegedi says.

Watch sellers now enjoy easy liquidity in a marketplace with countless opportunities to trade or cash in on their timepieces.

Today, with the long-term impact of Covid on the chain supply and the extraordinary shortage in the production of watches worldwide, the pre-owned market has literally exploded. A similar situation can be seen across multiple luxury industries. However, the advantage in the world of timepieces, is that these treasures are typically kept in like-new condition.

But the politics of selling a watch can be difficult to navigate. That fact was made clear at the Dubai Horology Forum, a twoday watch conference, open to the public, that took place in New York City’s Meatpacking District on September 24 and 25.

Alfredo Peñalosa

During a panel discussion about the new meaning of luxury, panelist Mark Cho, co-founder of The Armoury, a menswear retailer with stores in New York and Hong Kong, noted that he is preparing to sell the majority of his watch collection through Phillips. (The auction, entitled “The Beauty in Everything” sale, is scheduled to take place online beginning November 25.)

“I’m selling a bunch of my watches because I’m trying to buy a piece of property for The Armoury,” Cho said. “I love my watches, but I love my business even more.”

He later expounded upon that idea on Instagram: “At the end of the day, one person can’t keep everything and probably shouldn’t anyway,” Cho wrote. “I offer up these pieces: the majority of my watch collecting over the last 16 years, for the sake of my clothing store: The Armoury, one of the great loves of my life. I wish to trade these many, small amazing things, that I have selfishly kept to myself, in pursuit of a single new expansion of The Armoury New York to be enjoyed by my colleagues and my customers.”

Cho’s comment prompted his fellow panelist, Gabe Reilly, co-founder of Collective Horology, a watch collector’s club based in California, to note that “there is a stigma around selling watches.”

Reilly said he once acquired what he considered to be a grail watch, but about a year later, due to personal circumstances, had to sell it. “The brand asked me to provide an explanation,” he said. “I did and never heard back.”

“No one should give you a hard time for moving on from a part of your collection,” Reilly said. “I hope we can destigmatize watch selling. Oh, and by the way, this is the lubricant that keeps watch-collecting going. Because so often people are trading up.”

Indeed, the volume of person-to-person trading—via Instagram, forums, collector meetups, and other venues—is impossible to quantify, but there is no doubt that it has steadily risen over the past 20 years, in step with the growth of the preowned watch market. Yet the growth has also introduced more confusion, as prospective sellers try to make sense of the numerous platforms, from auction houses to Zoom meetups, that have sprung up over the past decade.

“I’m pretty sure I sold my first watch to Analog Shift eight to 10 years ago,” says Kathleen McGivney, co-founder of the RedBar global collector group. “It was both easier and harder because now if I want to sell something, especially lower-priced stuff, I can literally just post an Instagram story. Back then, I had no followers.”

If I may suggest two stores that hold the most extensive selections of luxury pre-owned timepieces, I’d strongly recommend our friends Vander Dys Fine Jewelers in The Woodlands and Daniel & Co. in Bellaire.

A LEGACY OF PRESTIGE AND SPEED AND SPEED AND SPEED

The story of Formula 1—the world’s most prestigious motorsport championship—is one of evolution, vision, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence. Its roots trace back to 1894, when the first motor races tore through the dusty roads of rural France. What began as a bold experiment quickly ignited a global passion—a fusion of mechanical brilliance, aesthetic refinement, and pure spectacle.

By the early 20th century, figures like James Gordon Bennett Jr. and William K. Vanderbilt II were propelling the sport onto the international stage, while Louis Chevrolet brought its spirit across the Atlantic, laying the foundation of America’s racing legacy.

In 1906, Le Mans hosted the first race under the now-iconic name Grand Prix, a two-day, 1,260-kilometer test of endurance that signaled a new era—one in which the automobile evolved from mere machine into a symbol of ambition and identity.

Over time, circuits evolved from improvised roadways to purposebuilt cathedrals of speed: Brooklands, Indianapolis, Monza. The Grand Prix culture flourished, though formal regulations lagged behind. It wasn’t until 1924 that the AIACR attempted to unify the sport, before giving way to the daring freedom of the Formula Libre era.

World War II temporarily halted the sport’s momentum, but its resurgence was inevitable. By 1947, the AIACR reemerged as the

AUTOS, JETS & YACHTS

FIA, and in 1950, the inaugural Formula One World Championship was born. Seven races. One title. One champion: Giuseppe Farina in an Alfa Romeo—an icon of post-war elegance and performance.

That same year, Ferrari entered the grid in Monaco. Since then, the Prancing Horse has never missed a season, becoming the soul of a sport shaped by innovation and legacy.

Formula 1 was born of elegance, shaped by innovation, and fueled by speed. Today, it stands not only as a racing series, but as a global symbol of luxury, engineering excellence, and enduring allure.

Franco

Colapinto: youth,

results, and a rising reputation in Formula 1

At 21, Franco Colapinto has made an immediate impact in Formula 1. After stepping in at Williams for the final nine races of 2024, he scored five points and caught the attention of Alpine, who signed him for 2025.

Backed by the Williams Academy, his rise reflects the strength of modern driver development—built on adaptability, consistency, and pressure handling. Colapinto is quickly becoming a name to watch.

Kimi Antonelli: Mercedes’ bold bet on the future

Kimi Antonelli, just 18, has ascended rapidly through the ranks—leaping from F4 to F2 and straight into a Mercedes seat, replacing Lewis Hamilton. In his debut season, he’s already set records and sits sixth in the standings. Developed by Mercedes since age 13, his maturity and skill have drawn comparisons to racing legends. Antonelli isn’t just the future—he’s already here.

Looking ahead: a new era on the horizon

As Formula 1 continues its evolution into a sport defined by precision, youth, and global influence, the emergence of drivers like Franco Colapinto and Kimi Antonelli signals more than individual success—it marks the beginning of a generational shift.

Colapinto brings measured growth, resilience, and a quiet confidence forged through modern development systems. Antonelli, by contrast, is the symbol of raw speed and fearlessness, molded from a young age into a future champion. Together, they embody two distinct

AUTOS, JETS & YACHTS

yet complementary visions of what the next decade of F1 could become: refined talent meeting bold ambition.

Their rise hints at a future grid shaped not only by data and engineering but by character, adaptability, and global appeal. In a sport where legacy and innovation go hand in hand, Colapinto and Antonelli are not just part of the story—they are helping to write its next chapter.

2025 Team Standings

What will the second semester unveil?

As the 2025 Formula 1 season enters its second half, fans are witnessing one of the most tightly contested championship battles in recent memory. McLaren’s Oscar Piastri leads the standings with 186 points, closely followed by teammate Lando Norris with 176 points. Piastri secured his fifth win of the season at the Spanish Grand Prix, extending his lead over Norris to 10 points. Defending champion Max Verstappen, currently third with 137 points, faces challenges after a controversial collision with George Russell in Spain, resulting in a 10-second penalty and bringing his super licence penalty points to 11—just one short of a race ban.

The season’s remaining races promise high drama and pivotal moments. Key events include the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on July 6, the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa on July 27, and the season finale in Abu Dhabi on December 7. These races will test teams’ adaptability and strategic acumen, especially as they navigate the implications of the new aerodynamic regulations. Additionally, the performance of rookies like Andrea Kimi Antonelli at Mercedes and Oliver Bearman at Haas will be closely watched, as they aim to make their mark in a season already rich with narrative twists and intense rivalries.

DIOR CAFÉ

By Dominique Crenn

Luxury in Every Sip

In the heart of Highland Park Village—where refinement reigns and every detail is artfully orchestrated—Café Dior emerges as a jewel of everyday luxury. This is not merely a place to enjoy a cup of coffee; it is an aesthetic statement, a sanctuary of design, flavor, and elegance that only a maison like Dior could envision.

From the moment one steps inside, guests are enveloped in an atmosphere that distills the very essence of the brand: clean lines, a soft palette of whites and pearl grays, Parisian-inspired furnishings, and subtle nods to the iconic cannage pattern adorning both walls and seating. The interior architecture is a visual symphony, celebrating the legacy of Christian Dior and transforming the simple act of having coffee into a complete sensory experience.

“A visit to a Dior café is not simply about taste, but about timeless elegance in every detail.”

A philosophy that infuses every corner of this exceptional space.

The menu—curated with the precision of a haute couture collection—offers handcrafted specialties that balance subtlety and indulgence. The coffee selection is a tribute to European savoir-faire— from robust espressos to velvety cappuccinos served in custom-designed porcelain—while the pastry counter features delicate creations such as the Choux Dior or glazed fruit tartlets, each crafted with the meticulousness of an atelier embroidery.

Strategically located in one of Dallas’ most exclusive enclaves, Café Dior not only honors the art of French hospitality but redefines the daily pause as a ritual of elegance. It is a place where discreet conversations blend with the aroma of freshly ground coffee, and every moment is elevated into something worth savoring.

Café Dior is more than a destination—it’s an immersion into the Dior universe. Every element, from the elegant latte art to the gentle lighting and curated playlists, whispers the brand’s heritage while embracing modern sophistication. Guests don’t just come for coffee; they come to be seen, to slow down, and to savor a world where fashion, flavor, and atmosphere blend seamlessly. It’s a favorite spot for discerning locals and well-traveled visitors alike, all drawn by the allure of a place that feels both intimate and iconic.

In a city where luxury is often defined by scale, Café Dior offers something more rare: intimacy with intention. It invites patrons to sit, stay, and be present—whether wrapped in a quiet morning or a stylish afternoon. It’s a place where a simple espresso becomes an emblem of taste, where each detail tells a story, and where the timeless elegance of Dior is reimagined for a new generation of tastemakers.

A NEW ERA OF LUXURY CRUISING

Redefining the Luxury Cruise Experience

Unlike traditional cruise lines, the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection offers a boutique-style voyage that combines the refinement of a five-star hotel with the adventure of sea travel. With only a select number of guests on board, the experience is intimate, personalized, and exceptionally exclusive. The first in its fleet, Evrima, launched in 2022, and the company has plans for additional vessels, Ilma and Luminara, set to debut in the coming years.

Unparalleled Design and Comfort

Each yacht in the collection is designed with elegance and comfort in mind. The spacious suites, many with private terraces, boast modern furnishings, luxurious linens, and bespoke amenities that rival those of the world’s finest hotels. The yachts are designed to feel like a floating Ritz-Carlton resort, with meticulous attention to detail and an atmosphere that exudes serenity and sophistication.

The Ritz-Carlton name has long been synonymous with luxury, service, and sophistication. Now, with the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, the iconic brand has expanded its legacy to the seas, offering an intimate and ultra-luxurious yachting experience that redefines the standard for high-end cruising.

A hallmark of the Ritz-Carlton experience is its legendary service, and the yacht collection is no exception. With nearly a one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio, travelers receive highly personalized attention throughout their journey. Whether it’s private butler service, tailored shore excursions, or exclusive spa treatments, every detail is carefully curated for an unparalleled experience.

Dining aboard a Ritz-Carlton yacht is equally extraordinary. Guests can indulge in Michelin-star-level cuisine crafted by world-class chefs, featuring fresh, locally

Exclusive Destinations and Unique Itineraries

One of the most enticing aspects of the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is its focus on bespoke travel experiences. Unlike massive ocean liners that follow predictable routes, these yachts can access smaller, less-traveled ports, allowing guests to explore hidden gems in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and beyond. With overnight stays and curated excursions, travelers can immerse themselves in each destination’s culture, cuisine, and natural beauty.

The Future of Luxury Yachting

With the introduction of the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, the hospitality brand has successfully bridged the gap between high-end cruising and private yacht charters. This venture not only raises the bar for luxury travel but also reshapes the expectations of discerning travelers seeking both adventure and exclusivity. As the fleet expands and itineraries grow, the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is set to become a defining force in the world of ultra-luxury yachting.

For those who crave the elegance of a Ritz-Carlton stay combined with the thrill of exploring the open sea, this is a voyage unlike any other. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection isn’t just a cruise—it’s an experience in maritime excellence.

Private Islands

Strickland, Travel Specialist

Linda

For the world’s elite, few experiences rival the allure of a private island. These paradises offer a level of privacy and personalization that exceeds even the most luxurious resorts. Whether owned or rented, private islands are the ultimate expression of wealth and exclusivity.

The Pinnacle of Exclusivity

Personal Sanctuary

Owning a private island is the epitome of freedom. Iconic examples like Richard Branson’s Necker Island serve as both retreats and showcases of personal vision. Owners have complete autonomy over their domain, from architectural choices to environmental initiatives. These spaces often include opulent villas, private beaches, and tailored amenities such as helipads or golf courses.

Not everyone seeks the responsibility of ownership, and private island rentals have surged in popularity. Laucala Island in Fiji, for example, caters to high-profile guests with curated experiences. From coral reef diving to farmto-table dining, every detail is designed to fulfill personal desires. Guests can enjoy complete seclusion while surrounded by unparalleled natural beauty.

A Personal Sanctuary

The Rise of Private Rentals

Sustainability and Responsibility

As environmental awareness grows, private islands are embracing sustainability. Bawah Reserve in Indonesia runs entirely on solar power and actively supports marine conservation. Properties like these demonstrate how luxury and environmental responsibility can coexist harmoniously.

The Investment Appeal

Private islands are also valuable investments. As demand for privacy increases, these properties often appreciate in value. Fractional ownership and developments aimed at sharing costs are making this lifestyle accessible to a broader spectrum of the wealthy.

In an age where exclusivity is the ultimate luxury, private islands represent the pinnacle of indulgence. They are more than destinations—they are personal utopias.

ASIA THE ECOSYSTEM OF WELLNESS AND PRIVACY

Exotic beaches and resorts that redefine the meaning of luxury

In Asia, luxury takes on an intimate, spiritual, deeply sensory dimension. Here, wellness isn’t a trend but a transformative experience—delicately curated and rooted in an ancient bond with nature. For those in search of absolute silence, perfect privacy, and raw beauty, these exotic shores become an irresistible call.

“True luxury isn’t visible opulence—it’s the inner space you reclaim when you unplug from the noise,” says Isabel Moreno, international high-end wellness consultant.

THAILAND

On the golden sands of Pansea Beach, Amanpuri stands as a silent icon of luxury. As the very first Aman resort, it still attracts royalty and visionaries seeking absolute privacy. Its refined Thai architecture, lush botanical setting, and service that anticipates your every need turn the stay into a living meditation.

At Six Senses Yao Noi, sustainability blends seamlessly with dramatic views of Phang Nga Bay’s limestone karsts. Days begin with yoga at sunrise and end with healing treatments in an open-air spa that echoes with jungle sounds. At Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Krabi, sunsets are painted in gold and crimson, and private pavilions create personal worlds where every element inspires serenity.

VIETNAM

Tucked away in Vinh Hy Bay, Amanoi appears suspended between land and sea, guarding the quiet of a protected national park. It’s among Southeast Asia’s most secluded retreats, designed for deep contemplation, total disconnection, and a vision of luxury rooted in space and silence.

Just outside Hoi An, The Four Seasons Nam Hai offers beachfront villas shaded by palm trees and pathways lit by lanterns. Here, design becomes a bridge between the spiritual and the aesthetic, evoking ancient temples and enduring rituals. Every detail—from fragrance to lighting—is curated to awaken the senses.

INDIA

On the remote Andaman Islands, Taj Exotica Resort & Spa embraces the pristine beauty of Radhanagar Beach—widely considered one of the world’s most spectacular beaches. Indian hospitality blends seamlessly with tropical splendor in a setting where wilderness and refinement coexist in perfect harmony.

On the cliffs of Kerala, The Leela Kovalam overlooks the Arabian Sea with dramatic flair. It’s a breathtaking setting for those seeking both physical and spiritual elevation. Its open terraces welcome the sunrise, while its Ayurvedic spa offers an immersive journey into ancient healing traditions from southern India.

SINGAPORE

On sophisticated Sentosa Island, Capella Singapore and W Singapore – Sentosa Cove offer stylish escapes just minutes from the city. Surrounded by tropical greenery and sea views, these properties merge cutting-edge design, curated wellness, and hospitality that feels intuitively precise.

While Singapore isn’t famed for natural beaches, these hideaways offer the chance to shift gears from the city’s pulse to a refined pause, where aesthetics and comfort create a new language of rest.

MALDIVES

In the Maldives, luxury feels weightless—like the sea breeze that moves through open-air villas perched above endless turquoise. Each island is its own universe, a sanctuary of serenity where time slows and nature whispers. Days begin with sunrise yoga on floating decks, and end with spa rituals bathed in moonlight. Here, wellness isn’t offered—it’s woven into the air, the water, the silence. Privacy is not a privilege but a promise, and every detail, from the scent of frangipani to the soft sound of waves beneath your bed, exists to awaken the senses. In the Maldives, barefoot living becomes an art form, and the world fades away with effortless grace.

What sets luxury wellness retreats apart is their ability to merge ancient practices with modern innovations. Guests might begin their day with sunrise yoga overlooking the ocean, followed by a personalized spa treatment featuring locally sourced, organic ingredients. Sound therapy, meditation sessions, and even cutting-edge treatments like cryotherapy or stem cell therapy are common offerings. Nutrition plays a crucial role, with gourmet meals crafted from seasonal and organic produce. These culinary experiences not only nourish the body but also delight the senses, proving that wellness and indulgence can coexist.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Personalization at Its Peak

Customization is at the heart of these retreats. Each program is designed after an in-depth consultation with wellness experts, ensuring that every detail—from the activities to the accommodations—aligns with the guest’s goals. Whether it’s weight loss, spiritual awakening, or simply unwinding, every aspect is tailored to deliver maximum results.

The Future of Wellness Tourism

As the wellness industry continues to grow, luxury retreats are incorporating sustainability and technology into their offerings. Virtual consultations, AI-powered fitness plans, and eco-conscious practices are shaping the future of this sector, ensuring that these sanctuaries remain at the forefront of innovation.

In the realm of luxury, wellness retreats stand out as transformative escapes, offering not just a vacation but a journey of self-discovery.
