Passion. Passion for quality. Passion for the digital world. Passion for entrepreneurship. In recent months I have been inspired by leading tech conferences in San Francisco and Amsterdam. Disruption has long since ceased to be a buzzword. Today, blockchain, machine learning and artificial intelligence are the order of the day. And maybe your next luxury property purchase will be paid for with cryptocurrencies?
We are on the eve of the next digital revolution. Meanwhile, the mobile phones have become the extension of our arm. But even in this ever faster-running digital world in which one technology surpasses another, the question of depth and quality remains more important than ever. We attach the greatest importance to these characteristics so that we are always able to offer you high-quality products in a contemporary setting.
I have no doubt that a smartphone or tablet will never be able to match the smell of a freshly unfolded magazine. However, because this smell is not permanent, we also want to spoil you online with pleasure. That is why we continue on the digital path with Luxury Leads. In addition to the paper version of our magazine, you can also expect a digital version that will be launched at the beginning of November. Moreover, this digital version will be part of a wider digital refreshment with a completely new extended Luxury Leads website.
Due to the success of the first edition of our magazine, we can already give you 32 pages of extra reading pleasure in this edition. Quickly discover the latest trends within the highest segment of the real estate sector, the best kept kitchen secrets of a renowned star chef and the success story of two entrepreneurial sisters. Of course, the attention for exclusive cars is not forgotten with a look back at our successful first Members Rally.
In addition to our regular categories, in this edition we would like to go out with Bieke Casteleyn, an interior architect with an eye for detail who always manages to find an excellent balance between shapes, colours and light.
Finally, we give you a first of our digital plans. Together with the next edition of our magazine, a brand new immoplatform will be launched for Luxevastgoed and Luximmo.
I wish you a lot of reading pleasure, either on your terrace during a lovely late summer evening, or in your cozy chair by the rattling fire.
