While she certainly doesn’t need an exquisite luxury timepiece to enhance her prodigious natural poise and fluid grace, Svetlana Zakharova–principal dancer of the Bolshoi Ballet–certainly looks as if she were born to model the delightfully feminine Audemars Piguet Millenary Precieuse watch! Of course, Ms. Zakharova is one of Audemars Piguet’s newest ambassadors, having joined the brand when Audemars Piguet entered into it’s recently publicized artistic partnership with the prestigious Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow.

A diamond-set skull and crossbones proved to be one of the money-getting standouts at September’s recent Only Watch 2009 charity auction. I’m referring, of course, to the extravagant BR 01 Instrument One which luxury sports watch maker Bell & Ross produced just for this event (and the only such watch ever to be made). While quite a departure from the sober theme of the standard-production BR01 Airborne, and a bit of an oddity amongst the numerous high complication watches which made up the lion’s share of Only Watch 2009 entries, a winning bid of 34,000 Euros proved that “vive le difference” is alive and well!

A beautiful addition to the Ulysse Nardin Lady Diver watch collection is the Lady Diver Starry Night. Few of the dreamy names given to luxury wristwatches are as apt as this one, and when you look at the dial, it’s very clear indeed–just like a beautiful night sky! In this instance, the “sky” is soleil-finished metal or white mother of pearl dial and the twinkling stars are 27 round brilliant diamonds set in a free-form pattern all around it.

One of the things I’ve always admired about the house of Piaget, is their ability to craft unique and bespoke creations for their clientele. I’m reminded of a great (true) story about Piaget creating a series of one-off timepieces for a sheik who wanted each of the 32 (!) ladies in his harem to have a unique watch based on the specific wallpaper in her own room in his palace! Pretty incredible, but it does illustrate Piaget’s dedication to extraordinary luxury. One piece unique concept that Piaget offers today, which enables you to obtain a watch truly unlike any out there, is the Altiplano “Fingerprint Motif”. Continue Reading… »
