Brisbane will play host to a first-of-its-kind networking event this December

Cars, Watches & Legacy brings together rare supercars, meaningful personal stories and inspiring guest speakers for an evening designed to spark genuine connection. Presented by Connected Platforms and Staunch Digital, the event on Thursday 11 December encourages guests to arrive wearing the watch that means the most to them.

Whether it’s a family heirloom, a gift from someone significant, or a reminder of a milestone moment, the goal is simple: to spark conversations rooted in personal stories rather than status.

At Cars, Watches & Legacy, the watch on your wrist isn’t about prestige, it’s about story. “We often hear people say, ‘Mine’s just a Seiko that belonged to my dad, it’s not a Rolex,’” says founder Paul Finn, founder of Staunch Digital. “But that’s exactly the kind of story we care about.”

What matters is the meaning: who it reminds you of, how you came to own it, and why it’s important. These stories turn the simplest object into the most natural conversation starter, allowing anyone in the room to spark an instant, meaningful connection. It’s this shared storytelling that gives the event its heart and makes the networking experience so powerful.

A highlight of the evening will be the release of Cars, Watches & Legacy Vol 2 – a unique collection of interviews with inspirational individuals whose journeys reflect resilience, ambition and purpose. Among those featured is keynote speaker Dr Dinesh Palipana OAM, an esteemed medical professional known for his work in advocacy, leadership and community impact.

“It’s an honour to be part of a project that celebrates the stories behind people’s successes and challenges,” says Dr Palipana. “Legacy isn’t about what we leave behind, it’s about the influence we have on the people around us, today. This event is a reminder that connection and compassion sit at the heart of meaningful progress.”

While the night is not a car show, guests can expect to see a spectacular lineup of rare machines including the ultra-exclusive Koenigsegg Jesko Attack – offering a look at the craftsmanship and passion that mirror the event’s themes of drive and dedication.

With limited tickets remaining, Cars, Watches & Legacy promises an unforgettable evening of networking, storytelling and inspiration.

With its blend of inspirational storytelling, meaningful connection and once-in-a-lifetime experiences, this event offers Brisbane something truly special – a chance to pause, reflect and celebrate the passions that drive us. Whether guests come for the conversations, the craftsmanship or the community, they will leave with something far more enduring, a renewed sense of purpose and the reminder that our stories are the greatest legacy we can share.
