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.

Back in November of 2008, I shared a few thoughts on the Corum Romvlvs Perpetual Calendar watch, praising its elegant design and fine complication. I concluded the blog by opining that it would be an excellent platform for other prestigious complications at a later date. Happily, nearly a year later Corum has done just that and revealed a stunning new Romvlvs watch starring that most famous complication of all: the tourbillon. Continue Reading… »

One thing I love about Swiss watch manufacture Zenith is how effectively certain models in its collection combine elegant classic design and useful watchmaking complications. A case in point is the lovely Grande Class Elite Reserve de Marche Dual Time. Here you have a timepiece that radiates all the great looks of 1950s-era wristwatches, and demonstrates beautiful details in every aspect of its construction. What makes a great watch even better is the sophisticated manufacture Zenith “Elite” movement with a power reserve indication, and a 24-hour second time zone function that keeps you in touch with two global locales at once.

Among classic high luxury dress watches, few are more refined and beautiful than the Jules Audemars manual winding by Audemars Piguet. From the sublime perfection of the perfectly sculptured brushed case in 18K white or pink gold, to the lovely dials with their leaf shaped hands, every detail radiates quality–heirloom quality. While the men’s models are certainly wearable for many women and look great on them, the ladies have some exquisite choices exclusively for them, in this collection. Possessing the same über-classical design, but in smaller 29mm format, these timepieces house hand-wound mechanical movements that are among the finest available in the world of high-end watchmaking.

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.
