Tis for... Tiffany T collection Wire bracelet in 18kt gold with and without diamonds, rose gold with and without diamonds and white gold with diamonds Below > Wide bar hinged cuff, cutout hinged cuff and bar hinged cuff in sterling silver

Introducing the Tiffany T, the newest collection from Tiffany & Co., in which the strong graphic form of the letter T is simplified, deconstructed and extended. Harnessing the “great power in simplicity”, and the nonconformity of New York City and its architecture, the line is clean, pure and approachable - delicate pieces pair and layer beautifully with bold sculptural designs that invite you to touch. Once again, Tiffany creatively personifies within its engineering the essence of the Tiffany woman: humani-T, feminini-T, sensuali-T. The unapologetically modern Tiffany T and other iconic collections are available in Barbados at Tiffany & Co.

Cellini Dual Time 39mm, 18ct Everose gold

Cellini Dual Time With a quick glance at the dial, wearers are simultaneously aware of the time here and the time elsewhere. To differentiate daytime hours from night-time hours, a sun or moon symbol transits the aperture at 9 o’clock on the sub-dial. The hour hand can be set independently by successive “jumps” to adjust to a new local time zone, without disturbing the functioning of the watch or the precision of its self-winding movement.

Oyster Perpetual Datejust Pearlmaster 34 A feminine version of the famous Rolex Datejust, blending watchmaking art and the irresistible beauty of gold and diamonds. Available also in 18ct yellow or white gold, the model is embellished with exclusive Goldust Dream dials created from mother-of-pearl and gold, or adorned with striking motifs set with the highestquality diamonds.

Having hosted royalty and stars alike in Barbados over the years, he has also merrily socialised with many of them on the celebrity hideaway-island of Mustique. What a story!
