Luxus Magazine: Your new print issue blends watchmaking and sports

As Luxus Magazine renews its status as a media partner for the Watches & Wonders fair, which opens its doors on April 14 in Geneva, here comes the new Spring 2026 print issue. A fourteenth edition focused on watchmaking, with a sports theme.

 

Hours and sweat.

 

Whether as official timekeepers, sponsors of legendary competitions, or simply enthusiasts of inspirational aesthetics, watchmakers from Rolex to Omega and Jacob & Co have found, in sports, a narrative of endless possibilities.

 

From tennis to Formula 1 racing, diving, and equestrian sports, it is this storytelling that combines pushing one’s limits, excellence, and health that Luxus Magazine has chosen to explore, notably featuring an exclusive interview with Jonathan Arabov, CEO of Jacob & Co, an American jewelry house that has transitioned into watchmaking and is deeply committed to the spectacular.

 

True to its editorial vision combining business, culture, and lifestyle, this fourteenth print issue is once again rich in content and—fitting for the season—blooming with color. Throughout its pages, you’ll learn more about Christian Dior’s relationship with flowers and the undisputed master of Impressionist painting—who celebrates his centennial this year—Claude Monet.

 

A magazine that’s even more accessible, as shipping is free until April 20!

 

Issue 14 of LUXUS Magazine is now available in print and digital formats.

 

Moments of Glory

 

For the spring print issue of Luxus Magazine, we’ve prepared a special feature on watches and sports.

 

A combination of ideas that is clearly on the rise, as evidenced in particular by the ubiquity of Rolex at international competitions, such as in tennis at the Rolex Monaco Masters, and even in emerging sports that were once poorly perceived, like padel. And what about Louis Vuitton, which has relaunched its watch line to position it in the prestige segment and is now the title sponsor of the Monaco Grand Prix.

 

And Jacob & Co, the distinguished ultra-luxury watchmaker with the strongest growth projected for 2025, would certainly agree. We met with Jonathan Arabov, the current CEO of this family-run business—originally built around jewelry and now a true pan-watchmaking empire thanks to collaborations with, notably, the iconic Bugatti Chiron.

 

True to its reputation, Luxus Magazine also explores five major disciplines prized by the luxury sector to showcase the latest watchmaking innovations in a shopping feature that is as vibrant as ever.

 

Spring Cleaning

 

Well known for clearing the decks as the Salone del Mobile in Milan approaches, spring proves to be the perfect time for a few new interior designs or even fresh starts.

 

It comes as no surprise, then, that our major feature of the season focuses on the biggest decor trends, as observed by the Nelly Rodi trend agency, the social platform Pinterest, and the famous Maison&Objet trade show.

 

And when it comes to decluttering, that means holding onto the classics. And in that regard, whether it’s the 170th anniversary of Burberry, the 100th anniversary of painter Claude Monet, or Christian Dior’s love for flowers, there’s plenty to explore.

 

And as always, the must-see events, including Fast & Curious, your culture hub (movies & TV shows, books, music, exhibitions, outings). Special mention goes to the most beautiful gardens in the world.

 

Not to mention a timeline on the 80th anniversary of the UN and a series dedicated to one of America’s greatest dynasties—contemporaries of the Rothschilds and the Vanderbilts—the extremely wealthy Astor family… plenty to keep you occupied until the upcoming release of Season 4 of the series Gilded Age.
