Contemporary Classic

One watch, several possibilities. Offering three interchangeable straps in the same boxed set, the new interpretation of the Breguet Classique Dame makes a bold statement with its contemporary mother-of-pearl dial and subtle oval cartouche bearing the brand logo. breguet.com

Cameo performance

Designed by Gino Carollo for Calligaris, Cameo is an extendable table with a sharply defined oval silhouette that not only provides stability but allows the space beneath the top to be used to the utmost. Made from coated metal, the central column supports the various types of tops; a metal/ wood combination is invariably refined whereas the mixture of metal and ceramic with a marble effect creates a playful contrast between cold and warm materials.
