Launched in 2005, originally as a franchise of the Singapore title, the magazine runs editions in several southeast Asian countries. In 2011, Prestige Hong Kong was acquired by Hubert Burda Media, which publishes the title in Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand.
Prestige Hong Kong’s print edition spans more than 180 locations across the city, from newsstands in the Central business and luxury retail district, to five-star hotel rooms, private clubs, airport lounges, premium restaurants, bookstores, upscale spas and private medical waiting rooms.
Content
Prestige Hong Kong targets the city's business elite, entrepreneurs and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, catering to its worldly, affluent but diverse readership with a spectrum of content that prioritises socialites, tastemakers and celebrities along with their predilection for personal wealth, international property, interiors, art, glamour and culture.
The magazine publishes specialised seasonal supplements on jewellery, watches, health and beauty, dining, property and wealth. It hosts an annual Beauty Awards, and each autumn publishes 40 under 40, a franchise profiling 40 successful young Hongkongers whose contribution elevates and influences the realms of commerce, arts, sports, the environment, philanthropy, charities and non-profits.
Prestige Hong Kong continues to broaden the scope and ambition of its stories, with photoshoots by seminal photographers and stylists. As of March 2020, the title expanded with a new Wealth & Property section.
Standalone
Adore
An annual title dedicated to high jewellery and chronology, Adore replaces the previous Jewellery report inside Prestige Hong Kong. In addition to product highlights, event coverage and trend reports, the magazine features profiles of, and conversations with, the people leading – and defining – the industry today.
Calibre (formerly Tic Talk)
The definitive guide to haut horlogerie and watchmaking. Calibre has replaced Prestige's annual standalone TicTalk, and features expansive coverage of collectors, sellers, independents and industry insiders, along with detailed case studies on new chronographs and innovations in horological technology.
Lifestyle
Lifestyle is an indispensable annual guide to a style of living and a way of being, with a carefully curated platform of in-depth features, exclusive interviews and insider recommendations for the year ahead.
Prestige Online
prestigeonline.com (@prestigehk) is the brand's digital portal offering a complementarity of luxury-lifestyle content. It is operated by Burda International Asia.
Prestige Hong Kong Events
Prestige Hong Kong organises events for clients subsequent to staging its own signature projects. Prestige Hong Kong hosts the annual Beauty Awards, the 40 Under 40 franchise recognising influential young Hongkongers, and the publication's Gala Dinner. The much-anticipated trophy events convene the city's most affluent high-society movers and shakers.
