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 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.

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.

Gorgeous ladies timepieces are not in short supply these days. However, there’s nothing quite like the extraordinary Reine de Naples Ref. 8958 “Cammea” watch from Breguet. Breguet’s artisans went beyond elegant casework (something all Reine de Naples models certainly have) beyond gem-setting excellence (unquestioned), and even beyond a fine mechanical movement (a given-this is Breguet). They turned to the nearly forgotten cameo, an ancient art involving the intricate carving of stones such as carnelian or agate. Remarkably, in creating the Cammea watch, Breguet elected to use seashell–an exceptional challenge due to the fingerprint-unique layer structure, shape variances, and transparency of this material.
