About Us

Laurie Kahle

Welcome to Atelier, where I celebrate the artfulness of luxury rather than the expense. I’ve spent the past 18 years learning about the details and distinctions that define true luxury, going behind the scenes touring ateliers and manufactures, and developing relationships with creative visionaries, brand directors, and designers. Atelier brings you an informed and polished perspective on the luxury world—from what’s involved in developing an intricate complicated watch to the precision setting of fine gems to the nuances that make a travel experience unforgettable.

After more than eight years as senior editor at Robb Report—where I directed coverage of watches, jewelry, fashion, spas and other specialties—I founded ATELIERink as an independent writer and editor. With Atelier digital magazine, I capitalize on my extensive network, in-depth experience, and talent for storytelling to bring you an experienced, informed, and entertaining view on the luxury watch world, five-star travel experiences, and other topics that intrigue enthusiasts of both.

In addition to producing Atelier, I am a regular contributor to Cadillac, Centurion, Cigar Aficionado, Forbes.com, NUVO magazine in Canada, Robb Report, The Hollywood Reporter, Watch Your Time (by The New York Times), WorldTempus.com, and other prestigious publications and websites.
