Witnessed by the selected number of VIPs and members of the Lamborghini Club Indonesia, as the launch event was tied up with the club’s driving event in Bali. With Millie Stephanie our president director, Justin Doebele our chief editorial advisor at that time, and I unveiled the first cover, featuring Irwan D Mussry, one of the most prominent businessmen in the luxury lifestyle landscape. Fast forward it has been such an amazing journey since the start of the magazine, to be a witness of how the luxury lifestyle scene in Indonesia has grown and evolved in the last five years. 

I’ve seen many luxury cars over the year, many even some limited editions but this one is different. This one made me shivered when I saw it in flesh recently, it is a car from 1971 but meticulously restored so that it looked brand new like

We handpicked some notable pieces that have launched this year. From this year’s Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie Genève (SIHH), we picked a magnificent piece, the Lange Triple Split, a watch that can have three different timings.

People say time is money, and for fine watchmaking it does cost you dearly to obtain a great watch. One needs to climb up the ladder of success to be able to afford luxury timepieces. Much like fancy cars, a luxury watch is an important status symbol. To that end, we dedicated this issue to the world of horology by presenting you features that give you a glimpse of the extravagance.

Welcome to the latest edition of ForbesLife Indonesia. This one pays tribute to one of the biggest passions of men-automobiles. The world’s top cars are desired because they have superlative attributes in terms of performance and design. It is no wonder one can find posters of these supercars hanging on the walls of children who dream of owning one. On the cover is Hanan Supangkat, the president of the Ferrari Owners Club Indonesia (FOCI), who dreamed of owning a red Ferrari from childhood. Now he’s made his dream come true, as the owner of not one but two Ferraris, and also running the FOCI. Hanan also recently succeeded in organizing the biggest Ferrari event yet in Indonesia, to coincide with celebrations for Ferrari’s 70th anniversary. For more on the Ferrari theme, we prepared various features from the latest Ferrari watch from Hublot, to a rare interview with Enrico Galliera, Ferrari’s chief marketing officer during his short visit to Jakarta. Continuing the automotive theme, we also feature three luxury car test drives, with the review of the Ferrari 488 GTB, the newly launched Lamborghini Aventador S, and the new AMG cars coming from Mercedes-Benz.

In the realm of luxury, travelers seek out the best experience one can get by going to an extraordinary destination or staying in a posh place that offers the epitome of hospitality. As one gets more successful, time becomes a valuable commodity. So holiday time is precious, which one should spend in the best possible way.

Travelling solo and with family are a complete different experiences, that’s why we featured a new luxury travel startup, Afini.
