About Exceptionalistique
A magazine about objects made with more care than was strictly necessary, and about why that matters.
Exceptionalistique writes about cars, watches, technology, everyday objects and architecture, and about the kind of luxury that is not an object at all: time, attention and freedom. Not about everything that is expensive, but about what makes something remarkable: a construction, a material, a design decision or a way of working you rarely come across.
A high price is not a reason for us to write about something. Every article starts with the question of what you will understand by the end that you did not understand before. If we cannot answer that question, the article does not appear.
The sections
- Automotive: sports cars, GTs, classics, restomods and remarkable engineering.
- Watches: haute horlogerie, independent makers and how movements work.
- Gadgets: audio, cameras and well-made electronics.
- EDC: pocket knives, pens, torches and leather goods for every day.
- Exceptional Living: architecture, houses and interiors.
- The Gift Edit: gifts, each with the reason why.
- The Good Life: luxury without an object, such as time, attention and freedom.
