With Vacheron Constantin celebrating its 260th year, they were bound to start off with a bang. In the world of fine timepieces, that means a watch with entirely hand-engraved movements. The level of detail in the two new additions to the Métiers d’Art collection makes the watch look like it contains a micro-universe in its platinum case, enriches its with two new timepieces equipped with entirely hand-engraved movements. Both calibers 2260 and 4400 are adorned with acanthus leaf motifs, engraved to an impressive depth of two-tenths of a millimetre in parts. POA; www.vacheron-constantin.com

This white-gold ring of six carats of diamonds and a 7.65-carat sapphire encapsulates the spirit of the era, and will be a head-turning addition to your transitional jet set wardrobe.

The little details
Given Geneva watch house A. Lange & Söhne are always testing the boundaries of complications, it should come as no surprise that their new Zeitwerk Minute Repeater is far more than just a regular minute repeater. It’s a decimal repeater, chiming at hourly, 10-minute and minute intervals, which means you are now able to see and hear the exact time simultaneously. Its industrial-chic clock face in platinum and silver isn’t too hard on the eyes, either. Approx. EUR 440,000; www.alange-soehne.com
