Breguet, the innovator. Invention of the shock-protection device, 1790 Inspired by “subscription watches”, the Tradition 7027BR model daringly symbolizes the Breguet art of watchmaking through a subtle play on transparency effects and an eminent contemporary architectural design. It highlights one of Breguet’s most important inventions, the pare-chute, designed to protect the balance pivots in case of impact, it was the forerunner of all modern shock-absorbing devices. History is still being written ...

TRANSFORMING
TIME CHANEL’s BOY•FRIEND wristwatch melds masculine and feminine.
HANEL’s latest timepiece, the BOY•FRIEND wristwatch, puts a masculine face on femininity. Handsome, chic and utterly self-confident, it marks the passage of time in an elegant manner, whether paired with jeans and a T-shirt, a dress suit or an evening outfit. Inspired by Mademoiselle Coco Chanel’s iconic genderbending designs, the BOY•FRIEND is at once contemporary and classic. Its shapely octagon silhouette pays homage to the beveled-glass stopper of CHANEL’s legendary No. 5 perfume bottle and to Paris’ celebrated Place Vendôme. The BOY•FRIEND, available in medium and large sizes, is equipped with a small date counter at 6 o’clock and a numberless opaline dial with a fine guilloche finish. It is available in 18K beige gold with or without diamonds and in 18K white gold with diamonds. One style is manual winding; the other features a quartz movement. From its name and large, bold face to its semi-matte alligator strap, the BOY•FRIEND thinks nothing of shaking up traditional feminine watchmaking codes. The BOY•FRIEND takes its couture cues from CHANEL’s first line of watches, which debuted in 1987, and its first unisex sports watch, J12, which was introduced in 2000. And it continues the fashion revolution started by Mademoiselle Chanel, who is credited with liberating women from the shackling silhouette of the corset by introducing the form-flattering “little black dress” and the CHANEL suit. Her first shop, which was dedicated to millinery, opened in Paris in 1910. Three years later, at her second boutique in Deauville, she introduced sportswear to the staid, stifling wardrobes of women. Through the decades, she continued to break barriers. In 1920, the CHANEL suit debuted; in 1921, she created CHANEL No. 5, the fragrance that made her house world famous, and in 1924, at a time when it was all but taboo, she introduced her first line of makeup. That same year, she used tweed, a traditionally masculine fabric, in women’s suits. And in 1927, her daring Cuir de Russie fragrance audaciously evoked equestrian allure and added notes of Virginia tobacco and leather boots. By the 1930s, Mademoiselle Chanel was creating costumes for Hollywood stars, and by the 1960s, style setters Jackie Kennedy, Liz Taylor, Jane Fonda and Grace Kelly were wearing her suits and two-tone sling-back shoes while carrying her hands-free quilted purses. It is within this context that the BOY•FRIEND passes the time, never too quickly or too slowly but at just the right tempo to make its own style statement. Discover the BOY•FRIEND watch collection at the CHANEL Fine Jewelry Boutique, Americana Manhasset.

ZIP IT UP!
T
he Zip necklace, a witty yet refined masterpiece of ingenuity, has remained an iconic signature of famed French jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels since the conception of its original design in the 1930s. It was the Duchess of Windsor, a woman of profound beauty and royal taste, who suggested in 1938 that Renée Puissant, the Maison’s artistic director and daughter of co-founder Alfred Van Cleef, create a jewel that drew inspiration from an everyday object: the zip fastener. It took Van Cleef & Arpels’ master jewelers over a decade to see the piece through to realization. The first Zip necklace, created in 1950, featured round and baguette-cut diamonds set in platinum. It was a technological tour de force, serving the dual purpose of being both beautiful jewelry and a fully functional zipper. The Zip necklace is also notable for its transformability. Certain variations can be zipped fully closed, converting from necklace to bracelet. For decades to follow, the design of the Zip necklace would be revisited, but always remained true to its original form. The Zip Antique Sunflower Emeraude, a contemporary variation of the Zip necklace, features emeralds, diamonds, onyx and pearls set in 18K white gold. With the creation of every Zip necklace, the Maison draws inspiration from the world of couture as a discrete homage to the city of its origins. The Zip Couture Houppe necklace features nearly 1,400 diamonds set in 18K white gold. A remarkably fluid piece, its stones emulate a ribbon of diamonds, which can be worn traditionally toward the front, or draping down the back. The Zip necklace shares iconic status with a number of the Maison’s other signature innovations, such as the Mystery Set™ technique, with which gems are set using no visible prongs, allowing for an uninterrupted surface of precious stones, and the Between the Finger™ ring, variations of which adorn the hand with seemingly floating motifs that spread across several fingers. Such rare creations have captured the attention of a host of notable clients over the years, including Marlene Dietrich, Barbara Hutton, Elizabeth Taylor and Princess Grace of Monaco. Van Cleef & Arpels, established in Paris in 1896, opened its first boutique in 1906 at 22 Place Vendôme, a legendary address that has remained unchanged to this day. The Maison has since opened shops around the world, including in Ginza, Japan; Shanghai; Geneva; Milan; and New York City.

Captain Mark Kelly is making history by participating in NASA’s “Twins Study” with brother Scott.

C
aptain Mark Kelly earned the entire nation’s admiration on January 8, 2011 when his wife, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, was shot in an assassination attempt in Tucson, Arizona. He stood by her side through her difficult recovery, and the couple eventually co-founded Americans for Responsible Solutions, which encourages our country’s leaders to stand up for laws that make communities safer from gun violence. But that day wasn’t the first time Kelly had made the news, or the first time Americans had reason to be proud of this remarkable man. The 51-year-old New Jersey native is a heavily decorated U.S. Naval aviator who flew nearly 40 missions during Operation Desert Storm. Moreover, for 15 years, he was one of this country’s most revered astronauts. He has spent more than 50 days in space, and has visited the International Space Station on four separate occasions. Intriguingly, Mark isn’t the only member of the Kelly family to have left our planet; his identical twin brother, Scott, is also an astronaut, making the two men the only siblings who have ever traveled in space. So it’s not all that suprising that the Kellys have proved to be the perfect subjects for NASA’s groundbreaking “Twins Study,” which will help scientists learn more about humans’ adjustment to time in space, which will hopefully lead to more complex deep-space missions in the near future. Mark is serving as the “control subject,” which allows him to stay on the ground, while Scott is spending an entire year aboard the International Space Station along with a Russian cosmonaut. Both brothers will undergo the same experiments, which will concern such subjects as the impact of the radiation in space on a person’s genes, the impact of zero gravity on the ocular nerve, and the impact of space flight on human cognition. The fact that they have identical DNA is an invaluable element of what researchers will discover. This study is literally the chance of a lifetime for NASA, as well as for the Kelly brothers.

C REVISITING THE BEAUTY OF
INDIA Bapalal Keshavlal translates tradition for the 21st century.
elebrated for three generations as a pioneer of luxury jewelry from India, Bapalal Keshavlal revels in offering distinctive and eclectic imagery in its creations. Established in 1939, the family-operated business courts an exclusive international clientele, flourishing a brand of custom pieces that echo a twist on myriad Indian traditions. Its designs range from classic-looking diamond bangles to more avant-garde creations. The Mumbai-based jeweler started as the vision of one man: Bapalal Mehta. The son of Keshavlal Lallubhai Mehta, Bapalal began his career at the legendary Surajmal Lallubhai, which was founded in 1895. The company’s ancestry spans six generations. A modest, self-reflective soul who lived a simple life, Bapalal was mesmerized by the beauty of the world and sought to imbue his designs with emotion and elegance. Moreover, Bapalal made his business a family affair, bringing in his son Romy, daughter Rita, their spouses Sonal and Kishor, and his grandchildren, Ritesh, Priyal, Charvi and Shipra. Romy, who took over the company in 1972 and transformed it from a quality-conscious manufacturer to a luxury designer for the world’s elite shops, continues his father’s tradition of faultless service, making every customer feel like royalty. Bapalal Keshavlal’s multi-faceted philosophy is embodied in the circle that is its brand symbol. The resplendent pulsating ring represents not only the creative energy of the Mehta family circle but also the jeweler’s circular reach around the globe. Inspired by the cosmos and the origins of all things, Bapalal Keshavlal’s designs possess a creative spirit that moves unfettered towards the highest realm of service and beauty. For 75 years, its jewelry has brought forth a world of emotion consecrated by human relations. Explore the exquisite creations of Bapalal Keshavlal at London Jewelers Americana Manhasset.

Scott and Judy Pruett do it all and do it well.

ew people understand the importance of the “big finish” as well as Scott Pruett does! To begin, Pruett has been racing cars for over 30 years, winning nearly 100 professional races in his storied career, including five Grand-Am championships and three Trans-Am championships. But the 55-year-old Roseville, California native is more than just a wizard behind the wheel. He and his wife Judy have authored a series of popular children’s books, including Rookie Racer and Twelve Little Race Cars, although their three children, Lauren, Cameron, and Taylor, are no longer the target audience. Their greatest achievement to date, however, may be the creation of Pruett Vineyard, the winery that Scott and Judy began at their breathtakingly beautiful home in Auburn, California less than a decade ago: This couple clearly knows how to turn their passion into success. Scott’s interest in the earth comes naturally; his grandfather was a farmer, and his father did farming before turning his attention to aerospace. Auburn has been an area for winemaking ever since the Gold Rush. And Scott is a true hands-on vintner, even originally clearing the three acres he uses himself, and doing his own planting. Still, the Pruetts were smart enough to hire wine expert Brian Mox as a consultant. And many of the Pruetts’ wines, such as their 2012 Championship Cuvee, have earned toplevel scores from Wine Spectator. (It received 96 points, the highest-rated '12 syrah from California.) The vineyard also produces sought-after syrahs and cabernet sauvignons, some of which are actually named after their children. Looking to try an award-winning wine from the Pruetts’ vineyard? Visit their website (pruettvineyard.com) and order today!

ounded in 1984 in Valenza, Italy, Vhernier has stood out among the top jewlers in the world for its modern and sensual designs, reminiscent of contemporary art and sculpture. The materials used by the company, which include precious gemstones, mother of pearl, complex prong-set diamonds, ebony and rose gold, are combined with audacious volumes. The results speak to Vhernier’s avant-garde spirit, commitment to modernity, and continued pursuit of excellence. Vhernier’s 2015 collections are its finest yet, drawing inspiration from ancient arts, ancestral vision and the Far East. The Plissé line pays homage to the Japanese art of origami; the surfaces of these rings, bracelets and earrings are composed of numerous light-reflecting facets. The line is available in yellow, rose or white gold edged with diamonds polished to mirror finish, or in brushed gold, a new finish that blends harmoniously with the wearer’s skin. The gorgeous Eclisse line, which showcases ingenious design, separates rose gold to create two mirror images revealing gemstones inside, such as lapis lazuli, jade and diamonds. The magical Aladino line is the ideal representation of Vhernier’s classic, unrivaled transparency technique that encapsulates the perfection of shape. Meanwhile, the truly remarkable Eclisse earrings are an expression of the ability of Vhernier’s artisans to select only diamonds of outstanding quality and place them in a dazzling settings like none you’ve ever seen before. Indeed, year after year, Vhernier reaffirms its belief in personality, beauty and sophistication. Experience the avant-garde collections by Vhernier at London Jewelers Americana Manhasset.

AHEAD OF THE CURVE
The Clé de Cartier collection is sleek and sensual.
S
leek and sensually shaped to slip smoothly onto the wrist, the Clé de Cartier collection is the renowned watchmaker’s latest step forward in its long history of combining innovation, simplicity and elegance.
Featuring a variety of models for both men and women, including its
luxurious one combining brilliant-cut diamonds, rhodiumized 18K white gold and a sapphire crown, these gorgeous watches sit proudly beside Cartier’s other revered timepieces, such as the Santos-Dumont and the beloved Tank. For the conception of the Clé de Cartier, the challenge was deceptively simple: to create a perfect circle. To do so, any sharp edges were eliminated, the bezel was gently rounded and the horns were tapered. The collection features the company’s caliber 1847 MC, the brand-new Cartier Manufacture movement; the name refers to the date of the creation of Maison Cartier. Its automatic dual-direction winding mechanism gets its robust stability from a specially conceived lever system and boasts a 42-hour power reserve. But what is equally unusual about the collection is that Cartier has practically reinvented its signature sapphire crown. The jewel is now inserted so that it remains flush to the metal surrounding it, providing a variation on a classic look. To reset the time and date, the crown is twisted, a motion that recalls the traditional turning of a key to wind up a clock. In fact, the collection takes its title from Clé, which is the French word for key and is a nod to its turnkey movement.

timepieces Not all watch companies are created equal. The Geneva-based company MB&F was founded by entrepreneur Maximilian Büsser (left), who spent seven years as managing director of Harry Winston Rare Timepieces in Geneva. Over the past 10 years, he has worked with some of the world’s leading independent, hyper-creative watchmaking specialists (MB&F stands for Maximilian Büsser & Friends) to develop radical limitededition watches, notably its unconventional Horological Machines and historically inspired Legacy Machines. Büsser sees these timepieces as works of art, suitable for either gender. “A painter, a sculptor or a photographer does not create art for a man or a woman. Art is mainly gender neutral,” he says. “At MB&F, we create kinetic art based on watchmaking, and it appeals to whomever it resonates with.” The company’s first Horological Machine, the HM1, was unveiled in 2007, and its sculpted, three-dimensional case and beautifully finished engine set the standard for the series: the HM2, HM3, HM4, HM5, HM6 and HMX. The HM4 Thunderbolt was named the Best Concept and Design Watch at the 2010 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve, and the HM6 Space Pirate received the top prize at the international Red Dot Awards in 2015. In 2011, the company launched its round-cased Legacy Machine collection, which was inspired by Büsser’s affinity for 18th- and 19thcentury pocket watches. “I asked myself: ‘What would have happened if I had been born in 1867 instead of 1967?’ In the early 1900s, the first wristwatches appeared, and I would want to create three-dimensional machines for the wrist. But there are no Star Wars or fighter jets for my inspiration,” he says. “But I do have pocket watches, the Eiffel Tower and Jules Verne, so what might my more traditional machine look like? It has to be round, and it has to be three-dimensional. Legacy Machine No. 1 was my answer.” With its large, sedately oscillating balance, domed dials, historical bridge design and classical fine finishing, the Legacy Machine No. 1 carried home the Best Men’s Watch Prize and the Public Prize from the 2012 Grand Prix. MB&F showcases its Horological Machines in innovative art spaces in Geneva and Taipei: The M.A.D. (Mechanical Art Devices) Galleries are a “captivating universe of kinetic art,” says Büsser. In those galleries, the timepieces are placed alongside carefully curated pieces commissioned from around the world. He marvels that his simple idea to create kinetic machines that give time has morphed into a small company that makes not only Horological and Legacy Machines, but also concepts like clocks and music boxes for other mechanical artisans. “Was that planned at the beginning?” he says. “No, not at all. So our story will be written as it flows. And I do not know where it goes. But I am proud that we have written our own story and not followed anyone else’s.”
TIME MACHINES MB&F’S WATCHES ALSO FUNCTION AS KINETIC ART OBJECTS.

SHOE BUSINESS Brian Atwood creates chic classics with a colorful twist.
I
f clothes make the man, then shoes make the woman. And few shoe designers make a woman feel as confident as Brian Atwood, whose collection of fabulous footwear is world-renowned for its luxurious technique, exquisite craftsmanship and sexy silhouettes. A former runway model, Atwood worked as head accessories designer of Versace and creative director of Bally before focusing on his own brand. We recently caught up with him to talk about what and who inspires him to create his signature styles, as well as his greatest accomplishment and his downtime pleasures. How did you come to be where you are now? Definitely a lot of perserverance and focus. I was always interested in fashion, but it wasn’t until I was hired by Gianni Versace to work in Milan that I really got my hands dirty and started designing shoes. I was hired at Versace to design Versus women’s wear with Donatella. Right after I was hired, Gianni asked me to design shoes for their haute couture show in Paris and that started it all. The rest is history. How would you describe your design style? Chic classics with a twist. It’s always about amazing color and never compromising what you believe in—and more importantly giving women what they want! Who do you design for? Women who aren’t afraid to feel or be sexy! What or who inspires you? Confident women constantly inspire me. I am also always inspired by music and the places I travel, because color is such an important part of my DNA. What’s in store for Brian Atwood looking toward the future? I am focusing on expanding my brand in other categories and keeping the aspirational factor, as well as reaching a broader customer base. What has been your proudest moment? I definitely think that winning a CFDA award was a major accomplishment because it came from my industry peers. It’s almost like winning an Oscar if you are an actor. What is your greatest accomplishment to date? Every time I see a woman in my shoes it’s a great pleasure for me! That is the highest compliment any designer can receive. If you could, what advice would your present-self give to your past-self when you were just starting your design career? When looking for a business partner, always trust your gut. It never lies. Lastly, what do you do to unwind and relax? I take a holiday on the Mediterranean, either Italy or Greece. If I’m at home in New York or Milan, then I do yoga and meditate.

ISLAND ENCHANTMENT Chantecler captures the la dolce vita spirit of Capri.
T
he isle of Capri may be best known for the Blue Grotto, but for jewelry lovers, this Italian paradise has earned its place in their hearts as the birthplace of Chantecler, which bridges beauty, history and nature in its enchanting pieces. This stunning line has both preserved and perpetuated the legacy of two remarkable men: Salvatore Aprea, a Capri native whose family owned a traditional cameo business, and Pietro Capuano (who was nicknamed Chantecler), an aristocrat and gem expert who came to the island in the 1920s and teamed with Aprea in 1947 to open the first Chantecler store close to Capri’s gorgeous Quisiana Hotel. By the 1950s, news of its striking creations had spread around the world, and Chantecler designs were worn over the next decades by such style-setters as Audrey Hepburn, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Ingrid Bergman and Grace Kelly. They continue to be seen on the fingers, wrists and ears of the most fashionable women across the globe. Today, the company is run by members of the Aprea family and headquartered in Milan, but the dedication to their homeland remains intact. “Behind our international growth lays our capability to embody the innate joie de vivre of Capri: a luxurious combination of cool, sensual, playful, straight-forward and trendy way of life,” says Gabriele Aprea, the company’s president. “Capri is where everything started for us. Every day its energy, colors and scents give life to something extraordinary and unique, which we lovingly turn into jewels.” Gold, diamonds, precious gems and semi-precious stones are all combined in intriguing ways by artisans who know how to craft unusual yet wearable pieces of art that fit a sophisticated woman’s daily wardrobe. Charms from the iconic Campanelle Collection Celebrate la dolce vita and experience Chantecler at London Jewelers Americana Manhasset.

New creations each year enrich and enhance this already majestic collection with their sparkle and ever more voluptuous, distinguished and precious lines. Delicately revealed through an exquisite set of arabesque motifs, amethysts glow with the power and beauty of their majestic purple—the imperial color since Byzantine times. Interlaced threedimensional rose or white gold lacework outlines the noble profile of a decorative motif that brings to mind the embroidery of the hangings and cushions on which monarchs would place their insignia. This grand motif infuses the line with its strength of character and regal bearing. The newest models in the Imperiale Collection include a long 18K white or rose gold chain on which a magnificent faceted 48carat amethyst nestles in a gold cage with delicate arabesque motifs partially or entirely set with diamonds. Meanwhile, a long 18K rose gold sautoir necklace is graced with alternating diamondset arabesques and faceted amethysts. These extraordinary pieces are intended for modern-day empresses: women who possess daring and self-assured personalities. Explore the exquisite creations of Chopard at London Jewelers Americana Manhasset.

THE ULTIMATE UNWIND From massages to manicures, call on MySpa2Go.

hether you’re a harried housewife or an overworked executive, you’ve probably daydreamed of a relaxing massage or rejuvenating facial only to realize your busy schedule leaves little room for such luxuries. In 2006, Lori Traub, a fashion industry professional, had that same daydream, as she rushed from meeting to meeting. Her grueling schedule allowed little time to get to all her beauty appointments, yet her job required her to look fabulous day in and day out. She was determined to have a successful career without sacrifcing her ability to put her best face forward, and thus MySpa2Go was born. The now-successful Manhattanbased company, which employs a staff of 50 professional technicians and therapists, provides a variety of beauty and wellness treatments in New York City, the Hamptons and Los Angeles. MySpa2Go specializes in mobile spa services that bring the salon to you, and it can even be brought into large corporate offices for an afternoon of pampering for hard-working employees, or booked for private parties. “We are a pioneer in the field. There are very few high-quality, one-stop shops like ours,” says Traub. “We are all about customer service, so all you have to do is enjoy the experience.” Indeed, all you have to do, whether you’re always on the go or stuck at your desk, is pick up the telephone, go online, or use the company’s new mobile app and book an appointment. MySpa2Go offers everything from flawless makeup applications to hair styling and blowouts, spa-worthy manicures and pedicures, waxing, luxurious facials, stress-melting massages and even private Yoga classes. When asked about the future of her brand, Traub tells us she plans to expand MySpa2Go into more cities, including London. Soon, the company will also launch The Braid Bar, which will be dedicated to popular hair-braiding trends. Whatever your beauty needs are, MySpa2Go will have you covered!

BREITLING
Goes Bronze
Leave it to Breitling to first reinterpret the Chronographâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; and then go one better with an exclusive 100-piece limitededition bronze-dial model.
A
hundred and thirty-one years ago, LĂŠon Breitling played a leading role in the creation of the first wrist chronograph. And today Breitling carries on that tradition by creating descendants of that watch that are more innovative and incorporate better design than any that can be found worldwide. The company has carved out a unique and unparalleled niche as the official supplier to world aviation and its watches reflect its unwavering dedication to accuracy and durability. And the company itself is as durable as its timepieces. In fact, in this era of huge conglomerates, it is still a family business and one of the last remaining independently owned Swiss watch brands. The Breitling Transocean Chronograph is a new watch that combines the pure design of classic chronographs from the 1950s and 1960s with sleek contemporary style for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discriminating watch customer. Its steel case creates a striking home for the Breitling-built Caliber 01 movement that is its engine. The dial is a model of clarity and readability, featuring beautiful details including applied hour-markers and recessed and snailed counters. It is water-resistant to 100 meters. As beautiful as the standard model is, our customers have an extremely rare opportunity to buy something truly special: one of just 100 exclusive limited-edition models worldwide with the elegant bronze dial pictured here. So call us today to reserve one for yourself or someone special before there are none left. This is a truly once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a watch that will be talked about (and cherished) for years to come!
