Exclusive: Tempus’s new edition stars Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen

When it comes to wellness, we often find the greatest wisdom comes from those living life in the fast lane. Take our cover star, four-time Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen, whose winning mindset is the definition of mindful. In our interview, Max reveals that he approaches every race with total confidence in his ability to
command each F1 circuit – and a relaxed mentality that allows him to learn from life’s losses, rather than
overthink them.

Similarly, speaking of his ambition to advance the watchmaking industry with the astounding Diver [Air] timepiece, Ulysse Nardin managing director Matthieu Haverlan reveals that collaboration – and even imitation – is something to be embraced; so long as genuine, changemaking innovation remains the name of the game. It was clear when we met earlier this year that the word “impossible” is merely a challenge to Matthieu – in fact, I got the sense that he and his team consider it a starting point.

With these refreshing outlooks driving record-breaking achievements across different industries, could it be that
true empowerment comes from the point where mindfulness meets innovation

In this issue, Tempus explores many areas where this might be the case – the rising trend of science-led treatments in the spa sector, the emergence of AI-driven scents within the fragrance industry, and the expedition yacht trends that are once again changing the way we explore the oceans. But it’s also clear there’s a hunger to slow down and reconnect, whether we’re embracing the evolution of digital detox retreats, ‘runcations’ that combine sightseeing and fitness, or artwork from Leah Wood that takes its cues from the seasons of the year.

We hope this edition of Tempus is as thoughtful as it is thought-provoking and offers you a moment’s
pause before returning to your own experiences of peak performance.

Enjoy the issue.
