Books – The Official Formula 1 Opus Bernie Edition

The 14-16th November will see the beautiful St Regis Hotel in Doha, Qatar, host the much anticipated annual event, The World Luxury Expo. Here, all the world’s leading luxury brands gather to showcase their products to a network of ultra-affluent and prestigious private clients and, this year, the Official Formula 1 Opus Bernie Edition will be making a proud appearance. Valued at a staggering $1,000,000, this Opus Media Group published collector’s piece is the ultimate keepsake for any Formula 1 fanatic. Flicking through the 852 pages, the reader will find everything from exclusive interviews, to extraordinary imagery to a full history of the global sport. In short, it is one not to be missed: “The F1 Opus is a must have for anyone who loves Formula One. A lot of the photographs in the book have never been seen before and they’re there because I gave permission for them to be used,” says CEO and President Bernie Ecclestone.

What’s more, this Official Formula 1 Opus – which weighs in at a hefty 37 kilograms – has been created in partnership with Asprey and will come with a pure silver plate on the cover including the official Asprey hallmark, will be hand signed by Bernie Ecclestone himself and all 22 living Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship winners and, finally, will be presented in a bespoke carbon fibre and leather clamshell presentation box.

Also set to showcase at the event: the world’s most expensive soap by Khan Al-Saboun Bader Hassoun and Sons, specialist custom-made motorbikes by Custom Shop, luxury travel services by La Conciergerie du Qatar and McLaren’s latest new breed of hypercars amongst others.
