STEP UP Jelmoli has unveiled Switzerland’s largest footwear retail space. Spread across 1,400 square metres, the two floors stock around 120 shoe labels. The department store’s shoe space has been designed by Italian architect Paolo Lanzi who took inspiration from artists such as Paul Klee and Mark Rothko. Keen to highlight each shoe as if it were an art piece, Lanzi has used contrasting materials, radiant colours and
strategic lighting. Shoes are displayed at different heights, set back in niches or brought forward on protruding ledges in a playful layout.

PAST AND PRESENT Bally has looked to its archive for this season’s footwear collection. The shoes and boots borrow different details from archive pieces, which have been reinvented for a contemporary look: a style from 1964 lends its lace-up detail, while a shoe from 1937 provides the inspiration for a quilted toe cap. Slingbacks are made of suede with leather and python trims, and there are also several variations on the Macumba boot including a version in gold ayers fabric with a pink nappa leather toe cap, and the pictured monochrome style (CHF995). gc Bally, Grendelstrasse 8, 6004 Lucerne, +41 (0)41 410 5726, bally.com Save money by shopping tax free, see page 52

hen it comes to elite accessories, the Swiss are world masters. With the country’s watchmakers working at the pinnacle of their game, Swiss timepieces are sought after by high fliers around the globe. Discerning clients are also investing in Switzerland’s most notable jewellery brands, which are making inventive, exceptional and showstopping pieces. Chopard is a storied Swiss brand dating back to 1860. Its latest haute joaillerie collection, Precious Chopard, has been inspired by the graceful curves of a ballerina performing a twirling jump and offers a ring, earrings, a necklace and a watch that all showcase a stunning swirl design. Caroline Scheufele, Chopard’s co-president and artistic director, describes the collection as ‘a dream ballet of dazzling colours for which Chopard has created the jewellery as a great couturier would design the costumes.’ 53 57

Available in designs that combine diamonds with sapphires, rubies and emeralds, as well as those which simply let the glittering stone speak for itself, the collection is produced in Geneva by the most skilled craftsmen. Expert wax sculptors, gem setters, jewellers and stonecutters apply their talents to ensure the final creations are breathtaking collectors’ items. ‘It embodies technical virtuosity dedicated to resolutely modern artistry, testifying to the broad stylistic repertoire of our brand,’ Scheufele says of the Precious Chopard range. ‘While these creations involve classic expertise and faithfully safeguarded traditions, they are also nurtured by exceptional inspiration and boldness, vividly demonstrating the major role played today by Chopard on the contemporary haute joaillerie scene.’ Another major player in the world of Swiss fine jewellery is Bucherer, founded in 1888. Bucherer’s finest creations are those which Previous: exquisite jewellery from the Precious Chopard collection Above (clockwise from top): a Precious Chopard piece being crafted; a ring and earrings from the Precious Chopard collection

showcase the company’s skill with diamonds, from its glittering necklaces which are elegantly dripping with pear-shaped stones to the modern double rings with a snowflake-inspired design and its subtle yellow diamond earrings. ‘Bucherer offers one of the largest selections of diamond jewellery in Europe,’ explains Tobias Lanz, Bucherer’s chief diamond buyer. ‘Because of its solid professional and market expertise as well as good, long-standing connections and a well-developed critical faculty the company is able to buy very rare gemstones and to offer its clientele top-quality diamonds and individually tailored pieces of jewellery at fair prices.’ If you’re looking for a diamond ring for an engagement or for another
significant reason, Bucherer should be high on your list. Founded in 1993, de Grisogono is a more recent entrant to the Swiss fine jewellery scene. Founded by Fawaz Gruosi and two partners, and named after the Marquise de Grisogono – the mother of one of the founders – the brand is known for taking risks in its designs. After Gruosi took sole control of the company in 1995 he began experimenting with black diamonds, launching a collection the following year that brought these captivating stones to the fore. Since 2000 he has included watch straps and bracelets made from galuchat in the brand’s portfolio of products. Recently launched collections

include the India range which features bracelets, earrings and rings with cabochon cut stones, including turquoise, opal and onyx in a pavé diamond setting, and the Vortice bracelet with its scrolling spring details. De Grisogono’s exquisite items are true conversation pieces. ‘I’ve been described as “daring” and a “trailblazer” because I’m willing to take risks and I’m not bound by the conventions of jewellery design but, at the same time, I have always had the utmost respect for its traditions,’ Gruosi explains. ‘In the beginning I took huge risks. I was very single-minded, driven by my passion for jewels and gemstones and a love of design – I was, and still am, always striving for perfection and innovation. I saw that jewellery was and could be an exciting and relevant part of women’s lives and I saw too the creative possibilities of the gemstones that captivated me, especially those that had been neglected, or disregarded through rigid rules and classifications. This is how I started the first chapter of de Grisogono, and the success of this
Whatever type of pieces you are looking for, Switzerland’s elite jewellery makers will certainly inspire you so-called “unconventional approach” gave me the confidence to continue pushing boundaries, ideas and approaches.’ For those who prefer their fine jewellery to stand out from the crowd, de Grisogono is certainly a striking choice. Whether you are looking for the most dazzling diamonds, high-end items which conform to fine jewellery traditions or something a little different yet still spectacular, Switzerland’s elite makers will inspire you

COMFORT ZONE From week-long wellbeing breaks on Lake Geneva to walk-in treatments in a former brewery, Switzerland’s spa scene is thriving, as Isabella Redmond Styles finds out
With its snow-sprinkled mountains, sparkling blue lakes and vast green forests, Switzerland is the perfect backdrop for a revitalising spa break. The country is home to some of the world’s leading medical-spa centres, where your health will be assessed and a personalised programme devised. Many spas make use of the nation’s natural springs, whose waters are said to have health-giving properties. The mountain air and outdoor activities including hiking and skiing mean that a winter trip to Switzerland is a healthy option, and many visitors balance exercise with more relaxing pursuits such as massages, facials, manicures and full-body treatments. From a Turkish-inspired spa experience to a very modern approach from one of the best beauty brands in the world, the Swiss spa scene is varied and captivating. Whether you’re in the countryside or a city, Switzerland’s spas will have a treatment to suit you. globalblue.com

HAMMAM BASAR
Traditionally used for bathing, personal care and socialising, hammams are Middle Eastern steam baths which date back hundreds of years, and Hammam Basar in Zürich brings the experience to contemporary clients. Visitors start in a warm room where they receive an exfoliation treatment using black soap before going to the circulation-boosting hot room. Back in the warm room, guests are cleansed with water and then have a detoxifying, mineral-rich rhassoul clay mask applied to the face and body. At the end of your session there is time to relax in the lounge where freshly squeezed juices, nuts, dried figs and dates are served. Primarily open to women, men are welcome on Thursdays and Saturdays. Hammam Basar, Mühlebachstrasse 157-159, 8008 Zürich, +41 (0)4 4382 9060, hammambasar.ch

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 28: Ruling Jewels
Крупные драгоценности Салли МакИлхоун рассказывает о швейцарских ювелирных брендах, которые создают самые восхитительные украшения в мире Швейцарцы – мастера мирового уровня во всем, что связано с дорогими и качественными аксессуарами. Швейцарские часовщики всегда остаются в авангарде своего дела, и их творения востребованы знатоками по всему земному шару. Ценители ювелирного искусства также стремятся приобретать необыкновенно красивые и единственные в своем роде произведения крупных швейцарских брендов. Одна из таких легенд ювелирного дела Швейцарии – это дом Chopard, история которого началась еще в 1860 году. Его новая серия произведений высокого ювелирного искусства получила название Precious Chopard и обыгрывает изящные изгибы балерины во время прыжка с вращением. Коллекцию образовали кольцо, серьги, ожерелье и часы, и дизайн каждого globalblue.com
украшения повторяет это кружение в прекрасном танце. Каролина Шойфеле, сопрезидент и художественный директор Chopard, называет Precious Chopard «балетом ярких оттенков, для которого Chopard создавал украшения так, как великий кутюрье создавал бы костюмы». Над этой серией работали лучшие специалисты в женевских мастерских Chopard. Они не только органично соединили сапфиры, рубины и изумруды, но и сумели раскрыть камни, чтобы их восхитительный блеск говорил сам за себя. Выдающиеся ювелиры, модельеры, закрепщики и огранщики вкладывают все свои таланты в эти изумительные коллекционные вещи: «Эта серия отражает техническую виртуозность, необходимую для современного ювелирного искусства, что еще раз свидетельствует о разнообразных стилистических возможностях нашего бренда, – комментирует серию Precious Chopard Каролина Шойфеле. – Эти украшения требуют владения классическим мастерством и бережного отношения к традиции. В то же время они стали плодом исключительного вдохновения и смелости, и это наглядная демонстрация значительной роли Chopard в современном высоком

ювелирном искусстве». Ювелирный дом Bucherer, основанный в 1888 году, также хорошо знаком ценителям швейцарского ювелирного дела. Его самые красивые украшения отражают неподражаемое мастерство Bucherer в обращении с бриллиантами: это и сверкающие ожерелья с элегантными камнями грушевидной огранки, и современные двойные кольца в виде снежинки, и искусные серьги с желтым бриллиантом. «У Bucherer одна из самых разнообразных коллекций украшений с бриллиантами в Европе, – объясняет Тобиас Ланц, ведущий закупщик драгоценных камней в Bucherer. – Благодаря устоявшейся профессиональной и рыночной репутации, а также давним связям и развитому критическому мышлению, у компании есть доступ к очень редким камнями. Таким образом, Bucherer может не только предлагать своим клиентам самые качественные бриллианты и созданные по индивидуальному заказу украшения, но и сохранять при этом справедливые цены». Если вы ищите бриллиантовое кольцо для помолвки или другого важного случая, стоит начать с посещения Bucherer. Компанию de Grisogono можно назвать новичком среди швейцарских ювелиров. Она была основана в 1993 году Фавазом Груози совместно с двумя партнерами и названа в честь маркизы де Гризогоно – матери одного из основателей. Особую славу бренду принесла склонность к рискованным решениям в дизайне. После того, как Груози взял управление компанией под личный контроль в 1995 году, он начал экспериментировать с черными бриллиантами: появившаяся через год коллекция привлекла всеобщее внимание к этим необычным и очень красивым камням. С 2000 в коллекциях марки появились часовые ремешки и браслеты из кожи рыб. А среди новых серий особое место занимает India, в которую входят браслеты, серьги и кольца с неограненными опалами, ониксами и бирюзой в бриллиантовой оправе паве, а также браслет Vortice в виде закрученной пружины.

Grisogono определенно станут поводом для обсуждений в любом обществе. «Меня называют «смельчаком» и «новатором», поскольку я жажду риска и не хочу быть связанным устоявшимися нормами дизайна. В то же время, я всю жизнь с огромным уважением отношусь к традициям, – объясняет Груози. – С самого начала я шел на большие риски. Я был предан своей цели, меня вела любовь к дизайну и страсть к драгоценностям и камням. И прежде, и сейчас я стремлюсь к совершенству и передовым решениям. Я понимал, что украшения могут быть важной и интересной частью жизни женщин. Я также видел бесконечный потенциал камней, они буквально захватили меня – особенно те, которыми пренебрегали другие из-за устоявшихся правил и классификаций. Так я начал свою первую главу в de Grisogono. Успех так называемого «нетрадиционного подхода» дал мне уверенность в преодолении границ возможного, поиске новых идей и направлений». Марка de Grisogono наверняка заинтересует тех, кому нравится выделяться из толпы с помощью украшений. Самые красивые бриллианты, качественные украшения в лучших традициях ювелирного искусства или нечто необычное, но не менее прекрасное, – что бы вы ни искали, швейцарские ювелиры готовы вдохновлять вас бесконечно. 52: When You Shop The World, Shop Tax Free
