* Cars & Yachting
* Jewellery & WatchesLUXE.TV produces all programmes in high definition (HD) with their own production teams or through external production companies.
Unlike most other channels, Luxe.tv does not follow a strict schedule. Instead, various programmes are broadcast during weekdays while a selection of the previous weeks programming is shown on weekends. However, the shows tend to relate to a specific theme or city, and then drilled down more into four sub-themes (which the channel dubs as "The Quartet"):
From Friday to Sunday programmes include "This Week", "The WeekEnd Gallery" and "Press Cut-Outs".
Worldwide network with global reach but local audience
The programs, all produced in High Definition, are transmitted in the digital standard SD as in HD. In order to cater correctly to it's audience, the channel broadcasts in six languages: German, English, French, Italian, Spanish and Russian, although more are expected to follow.
