In celebration of the Chinese New Year of the Dragon, luxury Swiss watchmaker and jeweller, Piaget created a limited edition collection of themed timepieces. The collection features the mythical dragon, one of the most ancient and sacred Chinese totems, with the phoenix, queen of all birds and icon of virtue.

The imperial couple are said to exist in cosmological harmony, with the phoenix symbolising Yin (feminine) and the dragon representing Yang (masculine).

At the heart is a pair of 18K white gold bestiary watches. Powered by a Piaget 56P quartz movement, the dragon is set with 2292 brilliant-cut diamonds, 99 baguette-cut diamonds and 2 cabochon rubies for the eyes, while the phoenix features 300 baguette-cut diamonds and 603 brilliant-cut diamonds with 9 cabochon sapphires adorning the tail.

Paradise is here with the arrival of Jeremy Scott’s new designs for Longchamp, with his Le Pliage collection.

Evoking cocktail colours, exotic scenery, hot sun and golden sand, the bags come with a guarantee to relax your mind and restore your smile. The designer is kind (vain) enough to send us a postcard from his dream destination with his own portrait on the postage stamp.

Renowned for its craftsmanship and groundbreaking designs, acclaimed watchmaker Christophe Claret has once again created an eye-opening piece – the MTR.CCR97.102 TIGRE.

The flange of the 41-mm 18K white gold features hour-markers that are set with diamonds and blue sapphires. The blue hands, blue sapphire stones, blue screws, and hand-engraved barrel bridge on the recto face give off an elegant, modern flair.

On the caseback is a hand-engraved tiger head on blue lacquer with blue sapphire eyes. The watch is fitted with a blue sapphire crown and a blue alligator leather strap.
