First up: our cover model.
Meet Chef Duran Bodasing, also known as the “D-Man.” A proud Vancouverite with a deep passion for food and decades of culinary know-how, Duran is the star of his own TV show, The Dome Cooking Show. And—we’re thrilled to announce—he’s now joined the Iconic Concierge DreamTeam as our new food expert.
One of the coolest features in the magazine?
Right at the beginning, we showcase the extraordinary work of Salavat Fidai, who sculpts miniature masterpieces from the tips of regular pencils. It’s truly something you have to see to believe!
Yes—we finally made it. We journeyed to this stunning South American country, nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the majestic Andes. Think Top Gear-style adventure: we climbed to 13,000 feet, explored Santiago’s vibrant neighbourhoods, discovered its culinary gems, and wrapped up with a visit to wine country, exploring some of Chile’s most beautiful wineries. A must-read (and must-watch)!
It wasn’t just a success—it broke records, drawing almost 140,000 visitors. This year, we had not one, but two booths!
At our first oversized booth: two iconic Ferraris—the 246 GTS (yes, we know… technically a Dino) and the legendary 512 TR—were joined by the Scorpion, a one-off supercar envisioned and built right here in BC.
Our second booth? The spotlight was on the SSC Tuatara Striker—the world’s fastest production car, clocking in at a jaw-dropping 475 km/h. Making its Canadian debut, it stopped people in their tracks.
And the surprise guest? ICO, a robot dog from Chinese tech company Unitree—famous for their viral kung-fu fighting robots. Kids loved it… and so did the adults.
There’s much more from the show—check out the full article and video!
Every year, Geneva becomes a paradise for watch aficionados, and this year was no exception. The biggest names in horology, alongside some of the most exciting boutique brands, unveiled their latest timepieces.
From jaw-dropping complications to sleek new designs—whether you’re into more accessible pieces or watches priced like a yacht—this is the event for connoisseurs of mechanical marvels.
Yes, the JUNO Awards came to Vancouver this year—hosted by none other than Michael Bublé. Some of the industry’s biggest names showed up, and in case you missed it, we’ve got you covered.
Another standout event? The Invictus Games. We joined the opening ceremony of this incredible event, founded by Prince Harry in 2014. A moving and inspiring experience. We also attended the VSO Gala and several other high-profile happenings.
Wait… the X3? That’s not really luxury, is it?
Well, that’s what we wanted to find out. To be honest, we were never fans of this mid-size SUV—it just never looked quite right. But that all changes with the 4th generation X3. The design is finally on point, and the drive? Impressive. That’s why we called the article “Welcome to the Club.”
And there’s more…
Health & Lifestyle, exclusive interviews, the latest and coolest in the world of EVs—even your very own personal submarine.
Enjoy!
We hope you love this edition as much as we loved putting it together.
