CARTIER
Staying true to the maison's philosophy of celebrating, preserving and enriching the splendours of the world, the latest Beautés du Monde high jewellery collection invites us to interpret its pieces as we see them. A perfect specimen is this Cymbale high jewellery white gold watch that embodies Cartier's fascination with the animal kingdom. The humble cicada is depicted in an abstract expression of diamonds, rock crystal, rubies and onyx set in a delicate, complex arrangement.
DIOR
The middle case, dial, crown and bracelet on the La D de Dior Précieuse à Secret Galons are swathed with an arresting medley of diamonds and tsavorites. Victoire de Castellane, Dior Jewellery's creative director, pays tribute to Monsieur Dior as she reinterprets the rich universe of braids in haute couture. Here, she incorporates the motifs from the Galons Dior haute joaillerie collection to create new pieces with crossed braids, which are arranged spontaneously and asymmetrically. A snow-set dial is revealed beneath a swivelling cover of gemstones in various shapes on this ultra-feminine 21 mm timepiece.
GRAFF
This astounding conversation starter highlights the unequalled beauty of yellow diamonds and the British jeweller's mastery in creating artfully designed timepieces. Set in yellow gold, a total of 51.21 carats of Asscher-cut yellow diamonds on the bracelet and yellow diamonds on the dial transform this incredible piece into one that resembles a ray of sunlight on the wrist.
