Elegance on your wrist

Swiss maker of luxury timepieces Roger Dubuis’s Velvet Collection combines glamorous design and stunning mechanism. The Velvet Automatic carries a touch of femininity. With the blackened numerals and appliqués, to the trompe l’oeil part-circle, part-barrel shaped case, these watches stand out because of their strong designs. The watches—in both light pink and blue, and the Velvet High Jewellery (not in pic)—are stamped Poinçon de Genève, a proof of remarkable finishing.

Box it

Italian brand Porro follows the philosophy of simplicity above all and is known for its essential and immediately identifiable language with simple signs, geometries and shapes. Balancing Boxes (in pic), created by Swedish design house Front, is a small table consisting of a series of irregularly placed white or black boxes made of metal or wood. It gives the impression that the boxes are suspended in air.
