If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s to appreciate every moment of every day. Remember the year’s achievements by celebrating you and yours with a special gift from Boutique Haute Horlogerie at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town.
Chopard
Hearts may flutter when Daniel Craig appears as 007 in the new Bond film, No Time to Die, but femme fatale Paloma (Ana de Armas) will glitter too in sustainably crafted jewels from Chopard’s Green Carpet Collection. Meanwhile, the Maison has reinterpreted its iconic emblem for the Happy Hearts – Golden Hearts Collection, filling the signature hearts with ethical rose gold.
Messika
Tails or tails. The mini medallions set in rings, bracelets and necklaces for Messika’s Lucky Move collection are infinitely reversible. The precious talismans worn close to the skin are this season’s essentials. Messika encourages you to reveal your true colours – choose turquoise for freedom, mother-of-pearl for distinction, malachite for authenticity, lapis lazuli for enigma. And if you refuse to appear one-dimensional, simply stack them.
Ulysse Nardin
Summertime and the living has got to get easier! Ulysse Nardin has you covered with three glorious additions to its Diver collection. All three models (two pictured and the Chronometer 44mm in deep sea-blue and rose gold) are water-resistant to 300m. It’s hard to imagine a more glamorous yet practical accessory to accompany you from sandy beach to coral reef.
Pomellato
Milan-based Pomellato has now achieved 100% responsible gold purchasing. Its expert goldsmiths have created new Nudo must-haves – stackable and mix-and-matchable – in petit and classic-size stones of amethyst, prasiolite and white topaz rings, with diamond pavé encrusted on rose gold bands. You can spot a woman of distinction by how she embodies the Nudo spirit by the jewels she chooses.
