Extremely precious, with intergenerational appeal but in the mark of a centuries-old goldsmith's tradition.

The Maison's well-known workmanship, impeccable craftsmanship and unmistakable at first look, emerge in the Gift Guide 2023 in all their beauty.

The lace and tulle, in white and yellow gold with diamonds, forged on the precision of openwork. And then silver, skillfully sculpted into 'Art de la Table' objects that accompany family lunches and dinners.

Introducing L.U.C XP Urushi Year of the Dragon by Chopard
In the horological world, the fusion of gold and lacquer is rarely seen and even less frequently mastered. The L.U.C XP Urushi Year of the Dragon is an artisanal expression of luck and prosperity which marks the Chinese zodiac cycle. Greatly inspired by these traditions, Chopard’s L.U.C XP Urushi Year of the Dragon boasts a 39.5 mm ethical 18-carat rose gold case, while the in-house L.U.C 96.17-L calibre with micro-rotor ensures that a slender profile of just 6.80 mm can be maintained. It mingles technical savoir-faire and artistic flair delivered by Chopard Manufacture. Its dial is a piece of art, skillfully decorated with Urushi lacquer, gold powder and mother-of-pearl inlays. For the 12th year running in the Chopard Urushi story, the dial has been hand-crafted in Japan by a world-renowned artisan specialising in the Maki-e technique. The timepiece is 88-piece limited edition in ethical 18-carat rose gold. |

The Vanguard™ Slim Skeleton by Franck Muller
Franck Muller challenges the boundaries of fine watchmaking even further with the unveiling of the Vanguard™ Slim Skeleton. This collection combines a slim movement, entirely manufactured in-house, with the iconic Vanguard case and numerals. The Vanguard™ Slim Skeleton asserts its personality and remarkably balanced proportions through its graceful slimmer case (9,1 millimetres). The master watchmakers have once again achieved a work of art by curtailing the case thickness to a minimum while conserving its character, accuracy and technical features. Furthermore, the watchmakers have also rethought a unique skeleton movement, manufactured in-house, and dedicated to the Vanguard™ Slim Skeleton collection. The slim movement benefits from an automatic winding and 38 hours of power reserve. |

ArtyA presents the “Purity Tourbillon” Collection
The 'Purity' Tourbillon by ArtyA: a seamless blend of transparency and technology. It showcases an impressive tourbillon (at 18 mm in diameter, instantly recognizable as the movement’s signature) that is fully integrated as a distinctive design element. This feature highlights two key strengths of the ArtyA brand: the mastery of sapphire and the imagination in creating original horological movements. Equipped with two parallel-mounted barrels for powering the tourbillon beating at 4 Hz beating, the movement was, from its inception, conceived as a miniature exoskeletal sculpture. Weighing a mere 9 grams, it pushes boundaries through the use of cutting-edge precision and design technologies, while remaining true to meticulous traditional finishing, such as cast-iron sandblasting and hand beveling. |
