A brief history of Esquire, USA

Arnold Gingrich, David A. Smart, and Henry L. Jackson founded Esquire in 1933 in Chicago, USA. At first, Esquire focused on men's fashion, lifestyle, culture, and entertainment. Within a short time, it rose to become one of America's most celebrated men's publications. 

Renowned writers such as Ernest Hemingway, who published short stories in Esquire during the 1930s. F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of The Great Gatsby, and William Faulkner, a Nobel Prize-winning author, also published articles and short stories in the magazine.

In the 1960s, Esquire helped shape New Journalism, blending journalistic reporting with literary storytelling. The most famous example is Gay Talese's 1966 article, Frank Sinatra Has a Cold. This piece exemplifies the combination of journalistic accuracy and literary storytelling. Today, journalism schools still use this article as a benchmark for creativity, observation, and character portrayal through language.

For nearly a century, Esquire has served as both a beacon of men's lifestyle and a distinguished platform for literary and journalistic excellence, featuring works by some of the 20th century's greatest writers. Today, Esquire remains a global icon of culture, fashion, style, and philosophy for men. Esquire operates in 20 countries, with 200 print editions and 175 websites. It reaches 141 million readers worldwide each month. Vietnam now becomes the 22nd country to host Esquire.

First launched in 2013, the cover stars of Esquire Vietnam have always embodied the image of the modern gentleman.

After five years of activity, Esquire Vietnam paused to await a more suitable time.

In 2025, Vietnam continues to rise on the regional and global economic stage. This moment marks the perfect time for Esquire Vietnam to return, standing alongside other Esquire editions in the region such as Esquire Singapore and Esquire Thailand. While preserving the core values of a brand with a global legacy and localizing both content and form, Esquire Vietnam aspires to reflect the new image of the Vietnamese man - optimistic, creative, and confident in building a stronger Vietnam.

Leveraging the generational-leading advantages of its digital LiDAR, such as the E1R, RoboSense has established deep partnerships with multiple global leading robotic lawn mower companies, including Mammotion and Segway Navimow. These collaborations have set a new benchmark for the next-generation boundary-free intelligent robotic lawn mowers driving industry development.

RoboSense's strong performance in the robotic lawn mower segment also drove record-breaking sales growth of its LiDAR products in the robotics sector in 2025, achieving an annual sales volume of 303,000 units—a year-on-year increase of 1141.8%. According to the Gaogong Industry Research Institute (GGII), "2025 Sales Volume Ranking of 3D LiDAR for Robotics in China," RoboSense ranked No.1 for LiDAR sales volume in the robotics sector, demonstrating leadership across both niche segments and the overall robotics market.

The robotic lawn mower segment was the fastest-growing robot category in 2025. According to IDC, in the first half of 2025 alone, global shipments of robotic lawn mowers reached 2.343 million units, representing a year-on-year increase of 327.2%. In this process, RoboSense's digital LiDAR, leveraging its self-developed SPAD-SoC and VCSEL digital chip architecture for high performance and reliability, has become a key driver in enabling perception upgrades and supporting market growth for robotic lawn mowers.
