TIME FOR LOVE
Treat that special person in your life to an elegant watch this Valentine’s Day
OMEGA FOR HER AND HIM
For the woman of your dreams, Omega has come up with timepieces as enduring as your love — the stainless steel and 18k red gold Ladymatic, the 18k red gold De Ville Prestige or the 18k red gold Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M. The 34mm case of the sophisticated bicolour Ladymatic features a bezel paved with diamonds in a snow-set pattern and on its side is a waved ring that offers a glimpse of the white ceramic inner casebody. The mother-ofpearl dial, with its striking super-nova pattern, dazzles with 11 diamond indexes. At the heart of this wristwatch is the Omega Co-Axial calibre 8520, visible through the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
The timeless and elegant 36.8mm De Ville Prestige is distinguished by its silvery dial with diamond-set markers and gold Roman numerals. The Co-Axial calibre 2500 brings this watch to life. Dazzling with a diamond-set bezel and mother-of-pearl dial, the 38.5mm Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M is powered by the revolutionary Master Co-Axial calibre 8501 and is an ideal gift for the woman who appreciates the innovations in her watch as much as she does its stunning beauty.
For the most important man in your life, Omega suggests the 18k white gold De Ville Trésor, the stainless steel De Ville Prestige or the Speedmaster Grey Side of the Moon. Both De Ville timepieces are presented on black leather straps, powered by advanced mechanical movements. The De Ville Trésor in particular houses the manual winding, antimagnetic Omega Master Co-Axial calibre 8511. The Speedmaster, with its sandblasted 950 platinum dial, is crafted from solid ceramic that has been transformed from white to metallic grey. Omega boutiques are on M floor of Siam Paragon, G floor of The Emporium and G floor of Central Embassy.
BARONCELLI LADY DIAMOND
Swiss watchmaker Mido has introduced Mido Baroncelli Lady Diamond, a Valentine gift befitting sophisticated ladies. Inspired by the subtle curves of the Opera House in Rennes, it is fitted with a certified Swiss ETA 2671 automatic movement. The 29mm stainless steel case is set with 72 diamonds and displays a white mother-of-pearl dial with diamond indices. A see-through case back reveals the complicated workings of the watch, which is water-resistant up to 50m. The red leather bracelet compliments the whole look. Those who purchase the Baroncelli Lady Diamond (61,800 baht) by Feb 14 will also get a Mido carry-on bag valued at 3,200 baht (limited availability).
Mido counters can be found in all leading department stores.
GLAMOROUS AMOUR
Swiss watch manufacturer Charriol celebrates Valentine’s Day with the sassy Amour, a new addition to the maison’s St-Tropez line of watches for women. The new Amour model is released in three variants, available in stainless steel 24mm case accented with three possible shades of yellow gold, pink or white. Each of these timepieces contains a secret at its heart.
Away from the light, the mother of pearl dial displays one of three engraved message: “Je t’aime”, “Amour” or “Love”, which show up in illuminated script after dark. In daylight, the words cannot be seen, making this charming timepiece a sassy way to express secret sentiments or pass on a message, without saying a word.
Each timepiece displays Charriol’s hallmark, the twisted cable strap. The stainless steel case, security chain and clasp are PVD-gold plated and play contrasting shades of gold. Roman numerals are shown around the bezel and the Charriol logo is seen at 12 o’clock. Prices are 85,900 baht and 89,900 baht Charriol counters are located in most leading department stores.
UNLOCK MY HEART
If flying over to various monuments and bridges around the world to attach padlocks of undying love decrees is out of your budget, you can still treat your loved one to that sentiment with Swatch’s Unlock My Heart (2,350 baht). Give this versatile watch to keep your partner’s love for you locked up and safe by bringing the romantic tradition to his or her wrist. Fun key details include a key shape as the minute hand and heart padlock pattern on the loops. Only when you look on the inside will you see messages of love written in pink.
To continue with the theme of keeping sacred love under lock and key, the packaging that holds the timepiece is a two-part cube with a fuchsia, heart-shaped closure system.
Swatch boutique is on the 1st floor of Siam Center.
LUSTROUS AND ENDURING
