Grand Seiko – Masterpiece Collection Spring Drive 8-Day Jewellery Watch: SBGD213

This watch comes with Diamonds, blue sapphires, and Platinum 950 is inspired by the white lion.  The powerful profile of the lion has been an enduring symbol of Grand Seiko ever since the first Grand Seiko introduced in 1960, when a gold medallion depicting a lion graced the case back. The strength and power of the white lion is brought to life through the jeweller’s art, graced by blue sapphires in honour of Grand Seiko’s signature colour. This piece combines the precision of Spring Drive, high legibility through carefully placed gems, and exquisite artistry and craftsmanship.

The center of the dial is mother-of-pearl in Grand Seiko’s signature blue. The case, bezel and dial have 266 diamonds and 27 blue sapphires, all set by hand.  The lugs speak to the power of the lion. Diamonds are embedded on the case and baguette-cut diamonds adorn the bezel. The diamonds are set to create a single, flat surface. A single brilliant-cut blue sapphire is set into the crown. The watch comes with a leather strap and has a three-fold clasp with push-button release. It is a limited edition with just eight pieces.

La Panthére de Cartier

Cartier’s iconic panther fiercely magnetizes this jewellery watch. This La Panthère model is a bold, graphic, and sculptural watch which depicts the panther closing its jaws on a black lacquered dial. This piece in white gold with diamond pave displays a fierce gaze with emerald eyes. Each element in the watch, the panther’s nose, cheeks, eyes or pointed ears are designed in three dimensions.

The head seamlessly connects to an integrated bracelet. Equipped with an ingenious system and no visible hinges, it hugs the wearer as close to the wrist as possible, magnetically and seamlessly. Available in two variants attired in a body of yellow gold, rose gold or white gold with a diamond pave model. The yellow gold or rose gold variant is speckled with black lacquer with tsavorite eyes. Recalling the Art Deco origins of the Reverso, the reverse side of the pink gold case is set with white diamonds and black onyx in an intricate pattern. Vertical rows of diamonds wrap around the convex sides of the case and frame the dial. The centre of the dial is set with white diamonds. Each of the tiny links that form the supple chain have been set with diamonds.

VAN CLEEF & ARPELS – LUDO SECRET WATCH

Inspired by the Ludo bracelet, the Ludo Secret watch is from the high jewellery collection of Van Cleef & Arpels. 

Created in 1934, this aesthetic watch was named after the nickname of Louis Arpels, one of the Brand’s founding members. Shaped like a belt – it was the fashion accessory for any daring woman in the 1930s.

This watch comes in Rose gold with minutely set pink sapphires. The bracelet is made of flexible brick-pattern meshwork reminiscent of a belt. The rose gold mesh links are assembled by hand. The watch comes with guilloché white mother-of-pearl dial. The guilloché white mother-of-pearl dial is visible thanks to a simultaneous press of the two motifs in pink sapphires.

JAEGER-LECOULTRE – THE REVERSO SECRET NECKLACE

This piece reinterprets the Reverso’s Art Deco origins. A union of jewellery arts, rare handcrafts and fine watchmaking is what makes the piece a must have. With the Reverso Secret Necklace, Jaeger-LeCoultre takes the creative legacy to a new level. One could say that it is a jewel that Tells Time.

The Reverso Secret Necklace transforms into a graceful feminine sautoir, or long necklace. The cordonnet, the original black textile bracelet (literal translation: fine or small cord) seen on Reverso models of the 1930s has been reimagined as a supple chain of intricate diamond-set links and polished onyx beads from which the Reverso is suspended. Two pendants of polished onyx charms add panache to this new way of wearing the time.

Recalling the Art Deco origins of the Reverso, the reverse side of the pink gold case is set with white diamonds and black onyx in an intricate pattern. Vertical rows of diamonds wrap around the convex sides of the case and frame the dial. The centre of the dial is set with white diamonds. Each of the tiny links that form the supple chain have been set with diamonds.
