TWIST AND TURN The house of Adler has been creating fine jewellery since it was founded in 1886. Today it prides itself on its avant-garde designs using precious gemstones. It has opted for an asymmetric look with its stunning series of rings called Les Singulières. Elegantly playing with lines and movement, the five styles are made in 18-carat pink or white gold and are set with a pear-shaped diamond and stones such as rubies and emeralds. The eye-catching Les Singulières designs can be worn alone but they also sit perfectly in pairs, creating a striking mirror-image effect. grc Adler, 23 rue du Rhône, 1204 Geneva, +41 (0)22 819 8026, adler.ch FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 46

IN STORE: BENCI BROTHERS Founded in 2011, leather goods company Benci Brothers specialises in expertly crafted shoes and accessories for men and women. Following the opening of the brand’s new flagship store in the heart of Zürich, owner and chief executive Flaviano Bencivenga talks to Lucy Basker about tradition, individuality and offering a different kind of retail experience
‘T
raditional trade has its justification even today,’ remarks Falviano Bencivenga, owner and chief executive of Benci Brothers. ‘However, at the point of sale, we must arouse emotions and provide added value. At Benci Brothers, the focus is on quality materials and traditional craftsmanship. I think the character of a brand and its products should also be reflected in the way they are presented.’ The label’s new store in the heart of Zürich opened in September and is a true representation of its aesthetic. ‘The concept was developed by me and the Benci Brothers

team and was realised by an architect friend,’ Bencivenga says. ‘You will find a surprises in every corner; a cast-iron spiral staircase, a big wooden wall, a magnetic wall for our sneakers, illuminated images and even a Ducati.’ When Bencivenga first saw the space, he knew it was right. ‘I like corner stores the most. Decisive factors were the high ceilings and the open, light space, which gives a direct overview and allows customers to focus on the products. The atmosphere is very special. When you enter one of our stores you immediately notice the natural scent of leather and wood. The store

concept supports the products and makes the location a place you want to take your time.’ At Benci Brothers, the products will always be the focus. ‘Traditional leather craftsmanship and timeless high-quality pieces have been my passion ever since I can remember,’ says Bencivenga. His vision is clear. ‘We are aiming for continuous development of our product range; not only shoes but also small leather goods and handbags.’ But when it comes to the founder’s favourite product, there is only one choice. ‘Our casual Scrambler shoes,’ says Bencivenga. ‘They are becoming real classics.’ What is next on Bencivenga’s list? ‘Over the last few years we have optimised our three stores in Zürich; either we rebuilt them or moved them to a more suitable location. Now we would like to expand to Germany.’ Benci Brothers, Sihlstrasse 37, 8001 Zürich, +41 (0)43 497 2560, bencibrothers.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 42 globalblue.com

Swiss watchmakers have been branching out ‒ exquisitely so. Some of the world’s most spectacular fine jewellery is now created in Geneva by companies with origins in horology, as Lucinda Turner discovers
S
witzerland has been the centre of luxury watchmaking for centuries and draws customers back year after year in search of the perfect timepiece. However, the nation doesn’t only offer watches. At several of Geneva’s houses renowned for horological expertise some of the most spectacular stones imaginable are being transformed into fine and high jewellery of supreme quality. One such house is Chopard. Founded in 1860 by Louis-Ulysse Chopard, the brand has created some of the finest timepieces in the world. Early clients ranged from Tsar Nicholas II of Russia to the Swiss Railways. During the 19th and early 20th centuries Chopard and precision watchmaking became synonymous. It wasn’t until the 1980s that the children of Chopard’s then owner, Karl Scheufele, decided to take a chance and add fine and high jewellery to the portfolio of this prestigious watchmaker. Caroline Scheufele, now the company’s copresident, was one of those children. Her focus on the luxury jewellery market transformed Chopard into the brand it is today. Chopard’s

exquisite high jewellery collection is now a cornerstone of the brand’s identity. Enduring collaborations with stars such as Rihanna, and a commitment to sustainable and ethically sourced gemstones presented in the annual Green Carpet Collection have given Chopard a global presence in the jewellery industry. It’s an incredible feat for a 158-year-old company whose jewellery business was unheard of less than 40 years ago. Another house whose origins lie in watchmaking is Piaget, which despite its horological beginnings now owns the largest jewellery workshop in all of Geneva. Thousands of precious stones are set here each year. Piaget was founded in 1874 by Georges Édouard Piaget as a classical Swiss watchmaker and it famously developed a signature, ultra-thin movement. Its journey into jewellery was a gradual one. Piaget created its very first jewellery pieces during the 1950s; in 1959 it opened its first boutique in Geneva, selling products from its newly opened jewellery factory.

fashions of the 1960s, the company began to experiment with increasingly colourful jewellery-watches, set with stones such as turquoise, onyx and lapis lazuli. The brand’s daring cuff watch designs of the 1970s, which blended its expertise in both jewellery making and horology, have been an inspiration to other makers across the globe. Fast-forward to the present day and Piaget’s biannual high jewellery collections, which are presented during the Paris couture shows, are awaited eagerly and continue to develop alongside the brand’s advances in the field of watchmaking. The more accessible fine jewellery collection features a broad selection of different styles, from diamond pendants to the brand’s ever-popular cocktail rings. The witty designs of the rings draw inspiration from actual cocktails, with names including Lemon Above: earrings from the Chopard Green Carpet collection
Fizz and Blueberry Daiquiri showing that these makers of spectacular jewellery have an appealing sense of humour. Another champion of fun in high jewellery is De Grisogono. A relative newcomer to the Swiss luxury market, the brand was founded in 1993 by black diamond specialist Fawaz Gruosi and, unlike houses such as Chopard and Piaget, began with stunning jewellery and progressed to timepieces as the company developed. In fact, De Grisogono’s dedication to spectacular jewellery is such that in 2017 the brand broke Christie’s auction records with its Creation 1 emerald-cut diamond necklace that achieved a price of CHF 33,500,000. However, it’s not only sizable stones that have found De Grisogono a place in the hearts of clients over the years. Colour, creativity and humour characterise its creations. From

Colourful jewels are used in extraordinary ways
the signature Crazymals collection of animalshaped cocktail rings and the understated Melone collection inspired by the namesake fruit, to the outstanding visual feast offered
in the Melody of Colours collection, De Grisogono’s pieces are created to be talked about and, most importantly, enjoyed. ‘I think in volumes, I imagine in colours, I design in lights,’ says Fawaz Gruosi. For De Grisogono it’s all about the unexpected; simple gold earrings twist and turn in unusual ways, solitaire rings are transformed by unique waves of metal encasing the stone. Colourful jewels are used in extraordinary ways throughout the brand’s watch collection, as you might expect from the avant-garde label, proving that in Switzerland the jewellery and watchmaking worlds are never far apart. In a country famous for innovative watchmaking, sumptuous chocolate and breathtaking landscapes it might be easy to overlook the evolving jewellery industry that is gently growing and quietly thriving. Yet once you discover some of the striking pieces on offer you’ll be impressed and dazzled by this area of Swiss expertise

High in Switzerland’s stunning mountain ranges there’s an impressive choice of restaurants serving world-class food, as Ruairidh Pritchard discovers
Switzerland is home to some of the most picturesque mountain ranges in Europe and its highest summits are more than 3,000 metres above sea level. With two main ranges, the Swiss Alps to the south and east and the Jura mountains to the north and west, the country is almost surrounded by soaring peaks. Given this wonderful scenery, skiing in Switzerland is as much a national pastime as it is a sport. As a result, the Swiss frequently indulge in a spot of après-ski at high altitude. So it’s no surprise that the country’s mountain ranges are endowed with some world-class restaurants. There’s a rich array of options. You could choose to eat at a stylish cabin serving warming and adventurous dishes, or at a restaurant with 360° views of some of the country’s most beautiful peaks. Alternatively, head to a rustic-looking chalet for one of the most enviable wine lists in Switzerland. Or enjoy a thoroughly modern eco-friendly restaurant with breathtaking panoramas. Wherever you decide to dine, Switzerland’s mountain-top restaurant options are bound to enhance a trip to this beautiful country. globalblue.com

It even rotates around its own axis every 45 minutes, offering visitors 360° views of the surrounding mountains. If the location and rotation weren’t reason enough to visit, the restaurant also has connections to one of the world’s most famous spies; scenes from the 1969 James Bond film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service were shot here. Restaurant Piz Gloria, Schilthorn, 3825 Mürren, +41 (0)33 826 0007, schilthorn.ch
CHEZ VRONY Chez Vrony is the perfect example of contemporary alpine style. Set 2,100 metres above sea level in the mountain resort of Zermatt, this rustic-looking ski chalet houses one of the area’s most authentic Swiss restaurants. Dishes range from tarte flambée with winter truffle, air-dried bacon, red onion and herbs, to unusual and delicious Bloody Mary soup with spicy lamb chorizo and basil froth. Dining al fresco here is a must; the restaurant’s terrace is supplied with furry throws, thick blankets and oversized cushions, creating the perfect setting to enjoy a bottle from the extensive wine list. Chez Vrony, Findeln, 3920 Zermatt, +41 (0)27 967 2552, chezvrony.ch globalblue.com

CHETZERON At 2,112 metres above sea level, Chetzeron hotel overlooks Switzerland’s beautiful Rhone Valley and offers unobstructured views over the Alps, from the Matterhorn to Mont Blanc. The eco-friendly building has been designed to preserve and protect the environment, and it houses one of the area’s most stunning restaurants. With dishes lovingly created from local and seasonal produce, the menu focuses on sophisticated alpine cuisine. Favourites include goat cheese and Swiss chard cannelloni with alpine broth, rack of alpine lamb with mashed winter vegetables, and beef tenderloin with shallot sauce. For superb panoramas, opt to have your meal on the restaurant’s terrace. Chetzeron, 2112 rue de Chetzeron, 3963 Crans-Montana, +41 (0)27 485 0800, chetzeron.com
Global Blue’s guide ensures you make the most of your trip to Switzerland with a look at the country’s must-visit destinations.

LES AVIATEURS Swiss watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen has opened a bar in partnership with luxury store Globus. It is called Les Aviateurs in reference to the brand’s Pilot’s Watch range and is located beside the watchmaker’s Geneva boutique on rue du Rhône. The space has the feel of a gentlemen’s club of the 1920s and 30s, with dark wood and leather design features. It is
the perfect place to enjoy a refreshing drink after visiting the IWC Schaffhausen shop – we recommend one of the cocktails inspired by the Pilot’s Watch collection. Les Aviateurs, 48 rue du Rhône, 1204 Geneva, iwc.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 46

TRANSLATIONS 中文翻译 32: TIME TO DAZZLE 耀 眼时刻 瑞 士腕 表制造商以 精巧的姿 态 “节外生 枝”。如今 许多惊 艳 绝伦的高级珠宝都 是 这些以钟表起 家的公司在日内瓦 打造 的。Lucinda Turner报 道 几个 世 纪以 来，瑞 士 一直 是 奢 华 钟 表制造中 心，年复一 年地 吸引着顾客回到这 里物 色完美 的时 计。然而，瑞 士不 仅仅 盛 产腕 表。如 今，许 多以钟 表 技 术而 著 称的日内瓦公司还 触 类旁 通，将最 赏心悦目的石头 打造 成品质卓 绝 的高 级 珠 宝。 萧 邦（Chopard）就 是 这 样 一家品牌。这 家 由Louis- Ulysse Chopard创立于1860年的品牌曾 创造 出许 多精 致 绝伦 的时 计，其 早 年间的客户 包括末代沙皇 尼古 拉 斯二世 和 瑞 士 铁 路 公司。 在19世 纪 和 20世 纪 初，萧 邦 就 是 精密腕 表制造 的代 名词。一直到上世 纪 80年 代，时任萧 邦 持 有者Karl Scheufele的孩子 们才决定 展 开 一次冒 险，将高级 珠 宝 加入 到这 家知名腕 表制造商的 产品组合中来。 公司现任联 合主 席Caroline Scheufele就 是 当年的那几个孩子之一。她专研 奢 华 珠 宝 市 场，让 萧 邦 转变成了如 今的这个品牌。现 在，萧 邦 精 致优 雅 的高级 珠 宝 系列已 经 是品牌形 象的 一大 基 石。萧 邦 与蕾 哈娜等明星维 持 着多年的 合作关系，其一 年一度的Green Carpet系列坚 持 选 用生 产方 式可持 续 且合 乎 行业伦 理 的宝 石，品牌 也借此 在国际 珠 宝 市场上 拥有了一席 之 地。对 于 一家有 着158年历史、在 40年 前却从 未涉足 过 珠 宝 行业 的老牌公司而 言，这是 一 番 不 可思议 的伟业。 伯爵（Piaget）是 另一家以腕 表制造 发 迹 的 品牌；它虽靠钟 表 起 家，如 今 却坐 拥 全日内瓦 规 模 最大的珠 宝 工作 坊，每 年 有 数千枚 宝石在 这 里得到镶 嵌。伯爵由Georges Édouard Piaget 创立于1874年，原是一家经典瑞 士腕 表制造商， 曾研发出一 款 标 志性 的超 薄 机 芯，因而 享 誉世 界。该品牌 有 着 一段 循序渐 进 的珠 宝 历 程。上 世 纪 50年 代，伯爵第一次 打造自己的珠 宝作
品；1959年，伯爵在日内瓦 开设了第一家 精品 店，销售 在其新 近 建 立 的珠 宝 工 厂制造 的产 品。受 60年 代 风 光 无限 的 好 莱坞 时尚 影响，该 公司开始 尝 试色 彩 越 发丰富 的珠 宝 腕 表，在 腕 表 上镶 嵌 绿 松石、缟 玛瑙 和青金石等宝石。70 年 代，创意 大 胆 的手 镯 表 融 汇了品牌 在 珠 宝制 造 和钟 表设 计 领域 的专业 技 术，为 世界 各地 的 其他制造商 带来了启发。 快 进 到 今 天，伯爵 每 年 都 在巴 黎高定 时装 周期间发布高级 珠 宝 系列，其作品受 到了人们 的 热 切 期 待，且 随 着品牌 在制表 领域 的进步而 不断发 展。这个价 格相对 适中的高级 珠 宝 系列 包括多种多样 的款 式，从钻石吊坠 到最受 欢 迎 的鸡尾 酒戒 指 一应俱 全。这 些 戒 指的 巧妙 设 计 取灵感于真实的鸡尾 酒，Lemon Fizz（柠 檬 菲 士）和 Blueberry Daiquiri（ 蓝 莓 代 里 基）等名字 无不说明，这 些璀 璨 珠 宝的 创造 者 都 有 着令人 心动的幽 默 感。 De Grisogono是 另一家以 趣 味 取 胜 的高级 珠 宝品牌。作为 瑞 士 奢 侈品市场的后起 之秀， 该品牌由黑钻石专家 Fawaz Gruosi创立于1993 年；不同于 萧 邦 和伯爵 等品牌，De Grisogono以 绚丽的珠 宝为起 点，随 着公司的发 展 才逐渐涉 足 时 计 领域。De Grisogono专注于打造 惊 艳 的 珠 宝，2017年该品牌 的Creation 1祖母 绿 切割 钻 石 项链 拍出了3350万 瑞 士法郎的高价，打 破了 佳 士 得 拍卖 行（Christie’s）的纪 录。 然而，多年来让 De Grisogono在 顾客 心中占 有一席之 地 的不 仅是 这 些 硕大的宝石；其作品 对色泽的运用、精妙的 创意与别 致的幽 默 感 都 堪 称一 绝。从标 志性 的Crazymals系列动物 形 态 鸡尾 酒戒 指，到以甜瓜 为灵感、风 格 低 调简约

的Melone系列，再到 Melody of Colours呈现 的 精 彩 视觉 盛 宴，De Grisogono作品的设 计意图就 是让 人们 称道；更 重要 的是，要为人们 带来享 受。“ 我 思 考体量，想象色 彩，设 计 光 线。” Fawaz Gruosi说 道。对De Grisogono而 言， 最关 键的莫 过于出人 意 料的感觉。简单 的黄金 耳 环 弯曲成了不同寻常的形 状；盘 绕 在 宝石周 围的独特 金 属 波 浪让 饰 有单 粒钻石的 戒 指 摇 身 一变。正如您 对这 家 前卫品牌 的期 待 一样，色 彩斑 斓 的珠 宝 被 巧妙 地 运用到了腕 表 系列里， 这也印证了在 瑞 士，珠 宝设 计与腕 表制造 从 来 不 会分离。 在 这 样 一 个以创意 腕 表制造、醉人巧克力 和 绝 美 风 景而 著 称的国家，悄无声息 发 展 起 来 的珠 宝 行业很容易被 人 忽视。然而，一旦 您 在 市场上 发 现了这 些 引人注目的作品，瑞 士人在 这个 领域 的专业 技 艺 就 一定会 让 您为之赞 叹。

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 32: TIME TO DAZZLE
ОСЛЕПИТЕЛЬНОЕ ВРЕМЯ Швейцарские компании, которые начинали с часового дела, теперь создают самые восхитительные украшения в мире, – рассказывает Люсинда Тернер Швейцария уже несколько веков остается родиной самых роскошных часовых домов в мире. Поэтому ценители безупречных хронометров возвращаются сюда снова и снова. Но только часами возможности этой страны не ограничиваются. Некоторые женевские часовщики обратились к ювелирной сфере и теперь создают прекрасные украшения – неизменно высокого качества. Chopard занимает среди них особое место. В 1860 году Луи-Улисс Шопар открыл часовую мастерскую, клиентами которой вскоре стали царь Николай II и Швейцарские железные дороги. К рубежу 19-20 веков Chopard и часовое дело стали синонимами. Уже в 1980-е дети Карла Шейфеле, который в то время владел компанией, решили рискнуть и обратиться к ювелирным украшениям. Один из этих смельчаков, Каролин Шейфеле, стала сопрезидентом компании. Она вывела Chopard на рынок роскошных украшений и сделала бренд таким, каким мы знаем его сегодня. Теперь ювелирное направление воспринимается как важнейшая составляющая бренда Chopard. Он приглашает таких звезд, как Рианна, в совместные проекты, а также использует драгоценные камни, добытые устойчивым и этичным методом, в ежегодной коллекции Green Carpet Collection. Все это закрепило его статус в мировой ювелирной индустрии. Это достойный восхищения подвиг для компании со 158-летней историей, учитывая, что 40 лет назад ювелирной коллекции даже не существовало. Бренд Piaget тоже начинал с часового дела, а теперь у него самая большая ювелирная мастерская в Женеве. Каждый год здесь

обрабатываются тысячи драгоценных камней. Но компания шла к этому постепенно. В 1874 году Жорж Эдурд Пьяже основал классическую часовую мастерскую, в которой позже был разработан фирменный ультратонкий механизм. Первое украшение под маркой Piaget появилось в 1950-е. Уже в 1959 году бренд открыл первый бутик в Женеве, чтобы продавать продукцию новой ювелирной фабрики. В 1960-е, на которые пришелся расцвет ярких голливудских нарядов, Piaget экспериментировал с ювелирными часами: их украшали разноцветыми камнями, такими как бирюза, оникс и лазурит. В 1970-е наступила эпоха дерзких часов, в которые были вложены все достижения ювелирного и часового дела. На эти произведения ориентировались ювелиры и часовщики всего мира. Перенесемся в наши дни. Ювелирное
направление продолжает развиваться параллельно с достижениями бренда на часовом поприще. Раз в два года в Париже Piaget демонстрирует коллекции haute joaillerie, и этого события всегда ждут с нетерпением. Более доступная коллекция украшений охватывает самые разные модели: от бриллиантовых подвесок до коктейльных колец. Эти кольца вдохновлены настоящими коктейлями, поэтому называются Lemon Fizz и Blueberry Daiquiri, что указывает на обаятельное чувство юмора их создателей. De Grisogono – относительно новый игрок на швейцарском ювелирном рынке: эксперт по черным бриллиантам Фаваз Груози основал его в 1993 году. В отличие от Chopard и Piaget, компания начала свой путь с ювелирных коллекций, а часы появились в ее ассортименте позднее. Украшения De Grisogono производят сильнейшее впечатление – настолько, что в 2017 бренд побил рекорд аукциона Christie’s: ожерелье с бриллиантом изумрудной огранки Creation 1 было продано за 33 500 000 швейцарских франков. Однако дело не только в крупном размере камней. Цвет, креативный подход и изящное чувство юмора – все это помогло De Grisogono завоевать лояльность клиентов. Центральная коллекция Crazymals состоит из коктейльных колец в форме животных, лаконичная линия Melone навеяна образом сочной дыни, а композиции с камнями Melody of Colours представляют собой высшее торжество ювелирного искусства. Произведения этого бренда созданы, чтобы их обсуждали и, что особенно важно, носили с удовольствием. «Я мыслю в объеме, я фантазирую в цвете, я работаю в свете», – говорит Фаваз Груози. Вся суть De Grisogono – в неожиданности: простые золотые серьги вращаются и проворачиваются в необычных направлениях, а кольца с бриллиантами преображаются в металлическом корпусе, покрывающем камень. Яркие драгоценные камни появляются и в часовых коллекциях бренда. Это вполне ожидаемо от авангардной марки, но еще раз доказывает, что в Швейцарии ювелирное и часовое дело никогда не отдаляются друг от друга. Швейцария славится передовыми

TIME FLIES Vacheron Constantin’s Métiers d’Art les Aérostiers watches are true feats of engineering. Presented at 2018’s Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in Geneva, the five designs were inspired by five seminal hot air balloon flights made in France between 1783 and 1785. The emerald green model pictured commemorates the flight of Jean-Pierre Blanchard in 1784. It features a reproduction of the balloon used by Blanchard, which is beautifully engraved in pounced gold and plique-à-jour enamel, and took three weeks to produce.
