NOELLE LOH, editor-in-chief REVERSO TRIBUTE ENAMEL WHITE GOLD WATCH ON ALLIGATOR STRAP, PRICE UNAVAILABLE, JAEGER-LE COULTRE
“Hankering after a watch may seem quaint today, but I’d like to think that it’ll help in the long run with weaning myself off the compulsion to turn to my phone all day long.The beautiful miniature enamel painting of Hokusai’s Kirifuri Waterfall on the dial is the cherry on top.”
KENG YANG SHUEN, senior features writer APPLE WATCH HERMES GOURMETTE DOUBLE TOUR STEEL WATCH ON LEATHER STRAP, PRICE UNAVAILABLE, APPLE
“I never knew how much I’d appreciate reminders to do things such as stand up, meditate or take a breather until recently – and that the wellness feature in the Apple watch covers all of them. Plus I can’t resist that gorgeous Double Tour strap that pays homage to the Hermes’ collars from the ’30s.”
IMRAN JALAL, digital editor RE-NYLON AND LEATHER BACKPACK, $2,600, PRADA
“This new style is the brand’s famous nylon backpack updated with Raf Simons’ touch of minimalism: sleeker lines, a cleaner design and roomier than ever.”
GORDON NG, writer EYE LOEWE NATURE RECYCLED NYLON VISOR CAP, $450, LOEWE
“Covid has made me lazy to hit the salon.This is going to make my life much easier when I head out. Double points that it’s made of a sustainable material.”
JONATHAN CHIA, art director MILLENIA RHODIUM-PLATED METAL NECKLACE WITH CRYSTALS, $799, SWAROVski
“I’ve always had the habit of wearing a piece of jewellery whenever I go out.Without one, I feel naked.This piece is eye-catching without being in-your-face, making it versatile enough.And I’d like to think of it as coming full-circle since one of the most precious accessories I own today is a vintage Swarovski bracelet that my mum handed down to me.”
