Chanel Boy.Friend Watch
![themillenary-masculine-timespiecesforher_1-chanel-boyfriend-watch2]()
Optioned in a size large measuring 34.6 mm by 26.7 mm and an extra large which measures 37 mm by 28.6 mm, Chanel’s latest Boy.Friend watch acutely realises the founder’s gamine, progressively enduring elegance. The former of which is driven by a quartz movement, graced with a date window whilst the latter plays host to a hand-wound mechanical movement and a small seconds subdial. It arrives in a total of six graceful permutations, in either 18K beige gold or white gold, with or without diamonds. It coalesces discreet elegance (delicately sized, a pared back, minimalist dial) with the bold, pronounced edges of the case inspired by the bottle cap of Chanel’s fragrances. Therein lies a hint of boyish insouciance despite its classical, poetically stoic countenance, and like the Boy Chanel handbag, destined to be well-worn and always chic.
Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Lady
Drawing inspirational cues from a 1945 model, Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Lady boasts an elegant, chocolate and taupe coloured dial, graced with a minute track composed of 42 brilliant-cut diamonds. It is governed by the automatic GP02700 calibre, a movement specially adapted for a ladies’ model. The diamond-polished, dauphine-type hands are shaped by hand so as to follow the contours of the dial. Delicately domed, its steel case is bookended by two brancards set with 30 diamonds that illuminate its gentle art deco-inspired design. With their discreet ornamentation, the gadroons at the base of each lug are additional examples of this influence. It is presented in the distinctive rectangular steel case with doubly convex curves to ensure a snug fit on the wrist.
Jaeger leCoultre Reverso Classic Small Duetto
Piloted by the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 844 which provides a power reserve of 38 hours, the new pink gold Reverso Duetto small-sized model inherits all the classical aesthetic codes of the Reverso watch. On one side, it features a silvered guilloche dial with vertically brushed, black transferred numerals whilst the reverse features a black guilloché dial with sunray-brushed, frosted numerals. The Reverso’s emblematic appearance is rounded out by a more feminine facet on the back, with the entire timepiece presented with slightly enhanced proportions to ensure greater comfort and a better fit for the wearer.
