CAVIAR COLLECTION
The Caviar collection reinterprets a celebrated Buccellati design from the 1930s, whose decorative motif consists of minute spheres reminiscent of caviar. Always used by the Maison for jewels and silver, it has more recently been revisited to adorn the tableware series of the same name.
A few years ago, a variant with Murano glass on silver leaves was added. They literally bloom if you blow on them forming a casual and original decoration on the transparent surface.
No matter whether an item is large or small, hand-crafted silver is an art form to be used, enjoyed and kept a whole lifetime. “ “
The Caviar motif was so dear to Gianmaria Buccellati that, in 1981, he created a spectacular caviar chalice, the “Cratere delle Muse” in silver, gold, jade and with 200 sapphires, now part of the historical private collection.
The collection maintains its decisive design character only thanks to an extraordinary savoir-faire. And no matter whether an item is large or small, hand-crafted silver is an art form to be used, enjoyed and kept a whole lifetime.
BUCCELLATI
Buccellati is a renowned high-jewelry brand, admired for its craftmanship and the uniqueness of its creations. Distinctive is the use of rare stones with extraordinary colors, mixed with white and yellow gold, all nicely carved like laces. Today, the Buccellati jewels stand out for their design and for the techniques used to create them, such as the hand-engraving technique, dating back to the ancient goldsmithing traditions of the Italian “bottega” during the Renaissance times. The shapes of the collections are all inspired the historical archive drawings and by the very first creations of the founder, Mario Buccellati. Buccellati boutiques are present in the most important cities and in the most prestigious Malls of the world.
Ultimate Emerald Signature
by Harry WinstonTHE ULTIMATE EXPRESSION OF THE HOUSE OF HARRY WINSTON
Known as the “King of Diamonds”, it was once estimated that Harry Winston owned more than one-third of the world’s most famous diamonds and gemstones. Often purchased as pieces of rough, Mr. Winston transformed these stones into incredible gems, many of which yielded the emerald-cut shape – from the Jonker to the Vargas to the Lesotho. Celebrating its founder, the House of Harry Winston’s Emerald collection is a series of timepieces that recall the sophistication and strength of Mr.Winston’s preferred diamond-cut – the emerald-cut.
The Ultimate Emerald Signature timepiece dazzles with almost 10 carats of the world’s finest diamonds and gemstones. On its 18-karat white gold emerald-shaped case designed like a pyramid, the different tiers are either set with brilliant-cut or baguette-cut diamonds of increasing dimensions while a majestic emerald-cut diamond, blue sapphire, or Paraíba, crowns the summit. Countering the powerful geometry of the emerald-cut case is an impressive halo of marquise-cut diamonds set so that the stones bask in the limelight. Suspended around the octagonal case with a minimum amount of metal and angled in different directions to catch the light, the 24 marquise-cut diamonds add a dynamic sensation of movement.
The enchantment continues as the secret watch reveals its dial. By swiveling the upper part of the case, the dazzling full diamond, blue sapphire, or Paraíba pavé surface the dial allowing the wearer to consult the time with absolute discretion.
More than 100 hours were required to hand-set the stones in this exceptional creation and is one of the most versatile creations in the Harry Winston High Jewelry collection. The Ultimate Emerald Signature can be worn as timepiece on sleek satin or silk straps, as a pendant or necklace, or even as a brooch.

AN ONLINE SUCCESS STORY
Over the course of the past few years, there has been a steady increase in brick-and-mortar retail stores shuttering their physical locations and transitioning to online sales. This has been in part due to necessity, as consumers living during the global pandemic were forced to find ways to make purchases from the safety of their homes. It has also been driven by the preferences of younger generations who enjoy shopping with the tap of a finger.
However, while many retailers have shifted their gaze to the digital market, there are rare expectations that arise — brands that are instead transitioning from the digital into the physical experience of shopping. These companies are taking shoppers back in time, providing them with the chance to physically interact with a product before making a purchase.
Enter Wrist Aficionado. This luxury watch retailer, born a digital baby, has grown to adopt a hybrid model of operations, providing customers with the opportunity to interact with the brand the way in which they prefer.
From Digital Beginnings
Founded in 2016 as a digital marketplace, Wrist Aficionado was designed to help watch enthusiasts source rare and unique timepieces. The company quickly grew with fans of exclusive brands, such as Rolex, Patek Phillippe, Richard Mille and Audemars Piguet! Wrist aficionado is also the go-to spot for Hermes Birkin bags and Fine jewelry for all occasions, including designers like Tiffany and Bvlgari. Collectors of luxury brands flock to Wrist Aficionado for its unique combination of accessibility, expertise and a carefully curated collection.
And as the company expanded, an opportunity arose. Wrist Aficionado recognized that customers were interested in reconnecting with a tangible shopping experience. Rather than being constrained to a digital storefront, customers expressed the desire to try on watches and speak with a salesperson face-to-face. In response, the brand decided to open retail stores in New York, Miami and Beverly Hills, becoming one of few companies to begin digitally and transition to brick-and-mortar operations.
A Tangible, Luxury Experience
While many retailers closed their doors to the public, Wrist Aficionado is paving the way for the future of luxury shopping. For centuries, luxury purchases have been made with an in-person handshake, and Wrist Aficionado is bringing back the vintage experience alongside its curation of high-end watches. Through the opening of its retail locations, Wrist Aficionado now provides luxury watch buyers the chance to physically see and try on watches with the help of experienced specialists in-store. Additionally, shoppers can browse local artisans’ products and attend premier events.
Positioning their stores in decidedly luxe areas is part of the brand’s elevated approach to shopping, with a New York store located off Fifth Avenue adjacent to Central Park, a Miami location calling the five-star, world-rated Setai Hotel home as well as the brand’s newest addition at the Waldorf Astoria, in sunny Beverly Hills.
The balance of both online and brick-and-mortar options best meets the needs of 21st-century consumers. Looking toward the future, Wrist Aficionado plans to continue to expand its physical reach, opening one to two additional retail stores every year.
Whether it is through a visit to one of their premier retail locations or by visiting their digital storefront, customers will be provided with a true luxury experience when interacting with this innovative brand, o please consider us as a buyer for those special pieces you no longer want to hang on to.

FIGHTING FOR THE LAST HUNDREDTHS
UNITED IN THEIR PURSUIT OF TOP PERFORMANCE, RICHARD MILLE AND FERRARI ARE ENGAGED IN THE SAME PASSIONATE QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE IN THEIR RESPECTIVE DOMAINS: CONTEMPORARY HAUTE HORLOGERIE AND SPORTSCAR MANUFACTURING.
In 2021, Richard Mille and Ferrari, driven by their shared quest for perfection, joined forces to create a long-term partnership. Naturally, Richard Mille felt compelled to celebrate this budding relationship by creating an exceptional timepiece. After many years of development, the RM UP-01 Ferrari has emerged, breaking with the Swiss watchmaker’s usual iconography while remaining faithful to its identity, and once again pushing the envelope by taking up the ultra-flat challenge.
WITH THE RM UP-01 FERRARI, RICHARD MILLE IS PROUD TO PRESENT AN ULTRA-FLAT WATCH JUST 1.75 MILLIMETERS THICK.
WORKING COLLABORATIVELY ALONGSIDE THE FERRARI TEAM, EXPRESSED MAINLY IN THE CHOICES OF MATERIALS AND THE LINES OF THE WATCH, LENT THE PROJECT PRECISELY THE COMPETITIVE SPIRIT SO ESSENTIAL TO MOST EXCITING ADVENTURES.
The quest to reduce thickness of a watch is one of absolutes, the very conception of many components had to be entirely revisited. The approach selected was to distribute across a large surface area the elements that could no longer be stacked, creating a greater symbiosis between the movement and the titanium case, which mutually stiffens each other. The extremely demanding brief made the movement’s performance a priority, meaning it would have to be a caliber both extremely thin and equipped with a 45-hour power reserve with a balance beating at 4 Hz. The manualwinding RM UP-01 movement with hours, minutes and function selector presents a profile of just 1.18mm and weighs in at 2.28 grams.
The watch’s movement required 3,600 hours of development. In addition, 2,400 hours were dedicated to functional design, and 2,000 hours of labor devoted to the casing. Batteries of tests at every phase of development included a 10-year accelerated aging of parts, water resistance tests, torsional tests, flex tests, and shock resistance tests certifying resistance exceeding 5,000 g’s. As a result, the RM UP-01 Ferrari is not a concept timepiece, but rather a 150-piece limited edition fit for the purpose of everyday wear.
BREAKING NEW GROUND, BOTH TECHNICALLY AND GRAPHICALLY SPEAKING. A HIGH-PRECISION MECHANISM COMBINING MODERN LINES AND PERFORMANCE, AESTHETICS AND RUGGEDNESS. IN SHORT, A WORK OF INCREDIBLE PROWESS TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS SPECIFIC TO A WATCH THAT CAN BE WORN IN ANY SITUATION. A MODEL WORTHY OF THE UNCONDITIONAL ADMIRATION THAT THE PRESTIGIOUS ITALIAN AUTOMOTIVE BRAND INSPIRES ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Haute Parfumerie Vivante
The Beginning
It all started with an intimate first meeting between Henry Cremona and the one who would become his wife, Yvette. Henry and Yvette, aesthetes at heart and avid pleasure seekers, would go on to launch their Perfumery with the sole aim of retaining and celebrating the beauty of life. By creating refined essences in beautiful bottles, at their own pace and wherever their hearts led them, a declining tradition was brought back up to date: French Haute Perfumery. Today, it is carried forth by CEO and daughter of the founders, Anne-Lise Cremona, with Artistic Director Christophe Tollemer.
Les Classiques
Like a living fresco, fifty fragrances—Les Classiques-form the gateway to the Henry Jacques universe. It is this variety that gives Maison Henry Jacques its incredible olfactory freedom. Just like a sartorial gentleman expanding his wardrobe, everyone can build their own olfactory collection. There are those who explore every expression of a key ingredient and others who are more whimsical, venturing from one olfactory family to another.
Essences: A few drops on the skin
This exceptional concentration of juice reincarnates the forgotten, elegant gesture: the perfume is applied directly to the skin with the use of a crystal rod, restoring all its carnal presence.
Solids: A mark of allure
Nestled within its case, the Clic-Clac is a solid version of the perfumes. Once opened, it releases a scented wax, a unique recipe that took years to develop. By reviving the gesture of applying solid perfume, Henry Jacques has not only created a remarkable object but has also reintroduced a mark of allure into our daily lives. Like a precious lighter or a cigarette case, Clic-Clac is one of those companion items that gives its owner an elegant air of poise and nonchalance.
Mists: Splash or spray
This reimagined vision of a spray allows everyone to choose the gesture that best suits the moment: a splash brings the perfume in contact with the skin, or a press of the thumb on the spray forms a delicate cloud over the head and hair like an invisible cocoon.

Pablo Picasso Henri Matisse Mr. Brainwash Andy Warhol Peter MaxNew York has been known as the global hub for cosmetic dentistry for the international community since the emergence of smile makeovers. Between 60,000 to 80,000 patients travel to New York and other American Cities for advanced dental treatment from other countries annually. Most of the patients are from the Middle East and South America. Dr. Lee Gause is going against the tradewinds to bring amazing dental services to people in far away places, rather than forcing patients to travel to far away continents for care. Although he is 90% in New York at his posh dental practice Smile Design Manhattan recent demand in places as far as Kazakstan, or Dubai have caused Dr. Gause to take his dental team and expertise “on the road.” Although initially, it may not seem worth it to take a 20 hour flight to see patients halfway across the globe, the extreme need for beautiful and healthy smiles and scarcity of advanced cosmetic dental service globally has both Dr. Gause and his international patients smiling.
