By weekday, I work as an editor at a luxury magazine. Though The Times is a serious, down-to-earth magazine, there’s undeniably glamour to my job. There are expensive lunches. There are serious conversations about the intersection of luxury and health. And there are handbags. But on weekends, I ride a big, strong, beautiful grey horse named Easter.

I owe my enjoyment of riding to my teacher, Marjorie Ramsay.…

Hyundai Motor Company’s luxury division, Genesis, has been sold in Australia for 10 years (it launched the Hyundai Genesis sedan in 2014) but has only strengthened its own position in the past five years or so, focusing more intensively…

The luxury watch industry is in a steep decline, and cryptocurrency enthusiasts may be partly to blame. Sales at several major watch makers plummeted last quarter, in part because people who spent their savings on watches over the past few years are now spending that money on other expenses like travel, but it’s also because speculators like cryptocurrency enthusiasts are no longer counting on luxury watches as a safe investment, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. In the early days of the pandemic, luxury watches were considered an alternative asset for people looking to make a little extra cash. WatchChart…
