The watch. A collective representation and vision of the world, which measures the unmeasurable: time, and is transformed into a highly precise item of jewellery. Such is the architectural design of A. Lange & Sohne’s 1815 Chronograph, with a reduced diameter from 40 to 38.5 mm, and a large date display, the Saxid Outsize Date, balanced with reflective prisms and mirrors in Perspex. The red glimmer of the ceramic case (45mm) and bezel of the Big Bang Unico Red Magic is a sight to behold, artistically rendered in classic Hublot Fashion. The indexes, minute and second counters, Arabic numerals and hands are adorned with tone-on-tone red, contrasting the sapphire dial and Unico HUB1242 movement. It is Ulysse Nardin’s Jade, however, with the new Classico 37 mm, UN-815 calibre, that embodies "crystallised magic" with a stone that is revered in China. Diamonds adorn a leaf-shaped motif on the mother-of-pearl dial, while another 76 stones sparkle on the steel bezel. Bold nautical inspiration exudes from the classic hands and leather straps. The Excalibur Aventador S Blue (45 mm), made of C-SMC carbon, is the result of a high-powered partnership between Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini Squadra Corse. With a total of some 312 elements, the watch features casing and crown that are overmoulded with rubber, the fluted carbon bezel uses blue markings, while the skeletonised dial reveals double sprung balances. The "engine" is a Duotor RD103SQ movement, set in a system of shaped supports. Cascata by de Grisogono has a persuasive charm. Enveloped in a fine gold wire mesh with 126 brilliant-cut diamonds that support the bezel’s 72 oval-cut gemstones, inside it features a dial embellished with 148 white gold set gems, and a casing that is sculpted with diamond spirals. The dance of the hours meets Bulgari with Diva Finissima Minute Repeater, and permeates inside a thin casing dial made of Japanese Urushi lacquer studded with gold specks, creating an interplay of transparencies with a depth effect that delivers a radiant surprise. A creative work of art limited to ten masterpieces, it also features a diamond-set pendant which oscillates with the movements of the wrist. Its rounded softness is enhanced by a snow pave dial and 18 kt rose gold crown with diamond. The secret of moon-phase complications is embodied in Harry Winston’s Premier Precious Moon Phase Automatic 36mm, made of 18-karat white gold with a brilliant blue aventurine (but also Havana) dial, but also rose gold (18 kt). A play on perspective draws the eye to the eight diamonds (set on a raised aventurine platform) and towards the three-dimensional white mother-of-pearl moon motifs (and its related phases, from new moon to full moon), set on a pearly blue or brown starry sky. Rose gold captures the feminine sensuality that

The watch has a cover in the shape of a delicate leaf, adorned with 167 pavé diamonds (10.3 carats), and smooth fastening mechanism over a silvered opaline dial. The Duoplan movement is made up of a discrete overlap of two horizontal planes. Calibre 101, a legend since 1929, a symbol of absolute miniaturisation. Featuring an avantgarde sixties design, unique textures and new colours, Piaget blends tradition, natural elements and a dynamic spirit to create Extremely Lady. The timepiece has an oval-shaped hardstone dial and elaborate white gold bracelet that emulates fur. The deep blue watch dial made of lapis lazuli is framed with sparkling diamonds, while the watch with opal dial is a very pale turquoise colour. Cleverly combining gold (yellow 18 kt) and steel (Oystersteel), the Rolex Rolesor yellow is the new series of versions of the iconic Oyster
Perpetual Datejust 36. The 36 mm diameter case with redesigned lugs and case sides holds the perpetual self-winding Calibre 325 movement. The dial is made of white mother-of-pearl and the bezel is decorated with diamonds. Everlasting tradition, high performance, inimitable style. Inspired by Art Deco and the forms and sacred qualities of the Tribal arts, seen in the grey or red case, the Richard Mille RM 71-01 Automatic Tourbillon Talisman holds a skeletonised automatic flat CRMT1 movement made of titanium. Captivating performance for a feminine jewel. With visible mechanisms on different levels, 10 versions of the watch have been made with 10 different dials (0.9 mm), which are hand set with diamonds that embellish bezel and central fan-shaped or band-shaped section and adorned with lustrous mother-of-pearl, onyx and sapphires surfaces, which contrast the opaque back. Stylistic research supports the historic watch-making excellence of Vacheron Costantin Les Cabinotiers - Minute repeater Tourbillon Sky Chart, which is named after master watchmakers from Geneva of the eighteenth century. The luminous sky chart on the base, which spins on its axis ever y 23 hours and 56 minutes, depicts stars and constellations, which are the symbol of this model with hand-wound Calibre 2755. The case is hand-engraved and made of white gold; bezel and lugs are spangled with 112 baguette-cut diamonds, while white gold hands and hour markers sparkle on a black guilloche dial. Its galactic inspiration is an invitation to travel on the wings of time. Everything flows, but cardinal points of a fine watch do not. They remain. For those who love luxury. Understood as quality of life.
