History and profile
Launched in 2000, Centurion has remained under the ownership of American Express and has been produced by Journal International since its beginning. This publisher is also responsible for Departures, which caters to Platinum Card holders.
With its base in Munich, the magazine focuses on high-end topics such as luxury, travel, culture, fashion, jewellery, art, and gourmet cuisine trends. It is issued quarterly in six languages and distributed throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, reaching Centurion Card members worldwide.
The publisher refers to it as "the encyclopaedia of luxury." Each 120-page issue is overseen by editor Christian Schwalbach. By 2013, Centurion had expanded to 17 regional versions.
The magazine introduced its online platform in June 2011, which was revamped in November 2013. Circulation data shows 61,600 copies distributed in 2010 and 19,600 copies for the Asia edition in 2012.
