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.

  • Why Australians Number the Boxes:
    Australia combines Westminster government with preferential voting, unlike countries using first-past-the-post. Governments are formed by parties commanding lower-house majorities, while voters rank candidates and preferences transfer until someone achieves majority support. Introduced in 1918 to prevent vote-splitting, preferential voting strengthens minor-party participation and ensures election outcomes reflect broader voter preferences.
  • TEEN EXPERT (1M Followers)
    Teen mentor and parent coach Will Elliott explains why teenagers may withdraw despite parents’ best intentions. Efforts to solve problems, manage emotions, prevent failure, and respond to social pressures can unintentionally undermine trust and confidence. Drawing on Unstoppable U’s work with thousands of families, he shares ways to rebuild communication and connection.
  • Jaimie McCaw:
    The article profiles Jaimie McCaw, a Canberra artist collaborating with Lonely Kids Club. His designs combine Australian wildlife, humor, individuality, and queer solidarity, including a reading platypus, a wandering kangaroo, and trans-supportive messaging. LKC preserves artists’ rights, pays commissions, and produces designs sustainably on demand in its Sydney studio.
  • Behind the Screen:
    Pornography can affect young people’s understanding of intimacy, consent, relationships and gender expectations, particularly after early or unwanted exposure. Because it often presents unrealistic and aggressive portrayals without communication or mutual consent, it may encourage pressure and distorted expectations. Education, open discussion and stronger safeguards can promote respectful, safe and healthy relationships.
  • Teens Turning to AI for Emotional Support.
    Dr. Candice Feinberg warns that many teenagers are using AI chatbots for emotional support, companionship, and advice, potentially replacing conversations with trusted people or professionals. She explains why chatbots appeal to struggling teens, identifies warning signs of unhealthy reliance, and offers parents guidance on setting balanced boundaries while preserving open communication.
