Guest Bio:

More than an entrepreneur or designer, Christopher R. King is a creative force whose personal empire is an artistic representation of his own lifestyle. Drawing influence from his European roots and his fervent American tenacity, King's creative inspiration knows no bounds.

King is most passionate about preserving the "Art of A Gentleman" and influencing a culture that encompasses that concept. With his profound respect for tradition and old-world craftsmanship, his vision is to reinvigorate and rediscover a sense of pride in the history, heritage, and detail of centuries ago. With this mission and drive, he hopes to heighten the standards, increase awareness, and promote education within the luxury industry.

With over 15 years of establishing authority in the luxury industry, King has the unique ability to see, create, and magnify luxurious details in a way that nobody else can. Some of his past creations exhibit his creative vision and gift for execution. In 2018, King collaborated with Aston Martin to design and curate a limited edition DBS Superleggera which was revealed at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. In 2014, King also co-founded the successful wine label, "King of Clubs" with industry leader Robert Mondavi Jr. The label was quoted in Forbes as Napa's next cult wine and quickly became a must-have in top restaurants and among wine collectors.

Most recently, King exemplifies his true love for luxury and design through his current venture, CCCXXXII (Three hundred Thirty-Three). The brand, CCCXXXIII, represents the Golden Age of Italian Craftsmanship as all the luxury accessories are handcrafted with the world's finest materials by highly skilled artisans. Currently, CCCXXXIII offers rare luxury accessories available for both men and women along with curated collaborations with select iconic brands.
