SOCIAL BUTTERFLY

Inspired by the elaborate fretwork of ancient Florentine cabinets, Boucheron’s Ajourée Nuri is an intricate work of art. Depicting an orange-pink sapphire-studded pink gold parrot framed by diamonds and nibbling on gem-set berries, the scintillating timepiece makes a lovely conversation starter. Price upon request Bright and playful, these watches are must-have collectibles for those who can’t pass up on a ladies’ luncheon or a posh house party. Since the first Lvcea watch launched in 2014, it’s become one of Bvlgari’s signature timepieces. This year, it breaks new ground with the Lvcea skeleton watch. It’s the first time the Lvea is baring its bones and exposing the complicated automatic winding BVL 191 skeleton movement through the see-through dial. Opt for the steel case version that’s paired with a punchy red alligator strap. $9,970 With a diamond-set bezel, a dial with a ‘wave’ design crafted from guilloché, gold appliques and diamond-setting, 12 marquise-cut rubies as hour markers, and Sedna gold case and hands, OMEGA’S Seamaster Aqua Terra Jewellery 150M Co-axial Master Chronometer Ladies’ 38mm in Sedna gold on leather strap is without a doubt, a jewellery timepiece. However, there’s also a powerful engine beneath the pretty façade. The brand’s in-house Calibre 8807 is COSCAND Metas-certified, meaning that the watch is highly precise and can withstand rugged conditions. $47,990 Putting a fun, flattering spin on Chopard’s signature Happy Sport watch, the narrower face of the Happy Sport Oval is inspired by the egg – a symbol of abundance and eternity. A particularly noteworthy version is the Happy Sport Oval featuring a rose gold bezel set with vibrant pink sapphires and a fuchsia pink alligator strap. Instead of just diamonds whirling around the dial, seven gems of various hues – two diamonds, two pink sapphires and three rubies – dance across a dainty mother-of-pearl dial. $26,000 An impeccably feminine timepiece, Harry Winston’s latest Ocean Moon Phase is decked in a powder pink alligator strap and a mother-of-pearl dial featuring an ethereal hand-painted gradation of soft pink and pale blue – a mesmerising interpretation of celestial and aquatic elements. Taking pride of place on the dial, the moon phase complication is veiled by a constellation of diamonds set directly on the sapphire crystal glass. Price upon request
