What’s hot<br />
Animal charm<br />
An exquisite timepiece should perform like a fine musical<br />
instrument; each turn and tick as carefully engineered as a<br />
Steinway piano or Stradivarius violin. Anyone who has owned<br />
a minute repeater – a watch that can ‘play’ the time to the<br />
nearest minute – will know the pleasure of hearing a finely<br />
tuned watch sing. But the Ulysse Nardin Jaquemart Safari<br />
Minute Repeater is made even more unique, thanks to the<br />
tiny, complex jaquemarts on its dials. These tiny animal<br />
figures remain a signature of Ulysse Nardin, and no other<br />
watch manufacturer on earth uses them on the dial of a<br />
minute repeater. In this case, they show a tiny fish being<br />
caught by a crocodile, and a lion’s paw reaching for a monkey.<br />
All in all, its as unique as it gets.<br />
Bold & beautiful<br />
Gianfranco Ferré is occasionally referred to as ‘the architect of fashion’.<br />
Partly, this comes from his background, as an architecture graduate from<br />
Milan university. But more significant is the flamboyance and precision<br />
of his style. This coat is a case in point. Its sharp, jagged lines, big<br />
shoulders and bold colours make an instant<br />
impact, and chime well with the resilient<br />
trend for the late ‘80s look combined with<br />
militaristic flourishes. It’s the perfect way to<br />
wrap up for chillier winter nights.<br />
True illusion<br />
‘‘Its sharp,<br />
jagged lines,<br />
big shoulders<br />
and bold<br />
colours make an<br />
instant impact’’<br />
Texting has just become a little more bling.<br />
GoldVish, purveyor of delectably decadent mobile<br />
phones, has released an extra sumptuous model<br />
– the Like Heaven. Part of the Illusion range of five<br />
mobile phones, each available in white, rose or<br />
yellow gold, this item, with its 1,639 VVS Top<br />
Wesselton diamonds, is the top of the range. It<br />
musters a total of 11.30 carats of brilliant cut<br />
stones, and ensures a lifetime of sparkling<br />
conversation. Each comes with a crocodile leather<br />
inlay (with 12 colours available), and all the<br />
technical wizardry you could want from a phone,<br />
including a 2.0 megapixel camera. And for those<br />
who fancy something even more unique,<br />
customisations and personal engravings can be<br />
added on request.<br />
