CAROLINA BUCCI

The Florentine jeweller began her career at the watch atelier that was established by her family on the Ponte Vecchio in 1885. Bucci founded her own business 11 years ago, and launched her latest watch collaboration with Audemars Piguet in October. Though she has homes in both London and New York, her heart remains in Florence, and on page 178 she shares her favourite places in the city of her birth.

An unusual family festive tradition ‘At our house in Upstate New York the lake is usually thickly frozen, so the brave go ice-skating after lunch.’ Your favourite festive food ‘We have blinis with sour cream and caviar, then homemade tortellini in broth, and a main course of Beef Wellington.’ What’s on your Christmas wish list? ‘A giant rainbow puffa coat that I saw on a Marco de Vincenzo runway but was never produced…’

Your resolution for the New Year ‘More design. Less admin.’
