Busy, Busy, Busy. Did I tell you that I have been busy?

To be completely honest with you, this has been the busiest August I have had over the last few years— like, crazy busy!

Putting together this edition of IMPERIUM has taken a little bit longer than usual, mostly due to the fact that the bulk of the staff has been on vacation and enjoying time with their families, but here we are. As I sit here and write this, I have just returned home from attending this year's Concours of Elegance, which was simply incredible and a true show stopper. The owners of these unique automobiles, who have a genuine passion for all things automotive, bring them to this oneof-a-kind concours event.

The vehicles showcased at the Concours of Elegance were nothing short of breathtaking. From vintage classics to modern marvels, each car exuded an unmatched level of elegance and craftsmanship. As I wandered through the event, I couldn't help but be in awe of the meticulous restoration work that had gone into these automotive masterpieces. It was a true testament to the dedication and love these owners have for their vehicles, making the Concours of Elegance an unforgettable experience for all who attended.

In this edition 9 of the magazine, we have articles from Breitling, which is one of my favourite brands of luxury watches, as well as MB & F, and we also have an interview with the founder of the company LIVE BRAVE. In fact, this specific edition includes a number of different interviews.

We also take a look at the new vehicle that Caterham has released, as well as the XX Programme from Ferrari, which provides a fresh and exciting driving experience, and a car that was manufactured by Nichols Cars. I also have a conversation with a skilled chef aboard the superyacht JO I, and you will get the opportunity to explore some of the most recent homes that we have come to like that are on the market.

So, grab yourself a drink, relax, and get lost in the world of IMPERIUM.

Until next time. Karl
