The design team at Baume & Mercier's Geneva head quarters started by turning back the clock and looking through the archives of its rich history.

Hiding in plain sight, these dazzling watches thus became enormously fashionable, even though some dials under their pretty covers were so dainty as to be barely legible. One wonders how the wearer could read them at all, let alone discreetly.

Venice played a fleeting yet poignant role in Gabrielle Chanel’s life and these jewels capture the scenes of the floating city that the impressionable young Gabrielle would no doubt have soaked up.

The tiara is set with 71 emeralds, a nod to the Italian tradition of always adding an extra candle to the birthday cake, foreboding another year of health to look forward to.

From the hallowed haute joaillerie ateliers, Choisne is creating jewels for twenty first century earthlings and beyond by deftly fusing high tech materials with centuries old craftsmanship.

The images accompanying the release of the new RL67 Safari Grand Date watches could almost be used for a sequel to the film Out of Africa.

How can streams of color flow around gemstones like water, diamonds melt into the fur of a sinuous panther or flowers be so very lifelike? The enigma behind Sicis’ awe-inspiring techniques captures the imagination like few other jewels.

There was a spirit of fun in the halls at Watches and Wonders 2023. No matter how luxe the brand, there seemed to be a playfully bright design or two within the collection that challenged the concept of what we think a fine timepiece should – or could – be.
