What Tempus Magazine does

Tempus Magazine is a London-based luxury lifestyle publication founded around 2012 and operated by Vantage Media. It produces quarterly print editions and a continuously updated digital site (tempusmagazine.co.uk) covering cars and yachts, culture, design, food and drink, lifestyle, sport, style, travel, and wealth. Editorial features exclusive interviews with luxury brand ambassadors and celebrities (e.g., Hublot ambassador Usain Bolt, Harris Reed) and the magazine maintains a weekly newsletter, "Tempus Edit," plus curated events and galleries.

The publication is distributed through a premium physical channel across the UK, including 5-star hotels (Claridge's, The Savoy, The Ned, Nobu, The Standard, The Athenaeum), private members' clubs (5 Hertford Street, 67 Pall Mall), Savile Row boutiques, luxury spas, and airport lounges (BA Lounge Heathrow, TAG Farnborough). Digital articles and subscription services extend reach globally via the website.

Monetization rests on three streams: recurring annual print and digital subscriptions, single-issue one-time purchases through the website, and luxury brand advertising and editorial partnerships with maisons such as Hublot, Rolls-Royce, Louis Vuitton, Royal Salute, and Ferrari. Commerce extensions include a 1:18 scale F1 model line with Amalgam Collection. The team is small (1-10 employees), with Michelle Johnson as Editor-in-Chief, and the publication is privately held with no external institutional investors identified.
