Los Angeles times
Loewe offers a holiday capsule collection that is all about 1930s Americana that was rich in brightly coloured ceramic sculptures, a nod to ancient Mexican earthenware. This modern interpretation features sunny landscapes, bright pop colours and palm fronds on clothes and leather marquetry on leather accessories. The mood is very laid back with loose volumes and cropped culotte trousers that capture LA’s quintessential ease.
Screen gems
Chopard gets some screen time in the film Rebecca that is now on Netflix. This new adaptation of Daphne de Maurier’s 1938 novel stars Lily James, Keeley Hawes and Armie Hammer. Watch the movie and see if you can spot James in a rose gold necklace and matching earrings from the Temptations Collection, set with rubellites and pink sapphires. Hammer also wears the L.U.C Heritage Grand Cru timepiece: The Maison’s Haute Joaillerie and Haute Horlogerie creations and the amazing period costumes highlight the eclectic atmosphere of the 1920s. For those who need a refresher on the storyline: After a whirlwind romance with widower Maxim de Winter (Hammer), a newly married young woman (James) arrives at Manderley, her new husband’s imposing family estate on a windswept English coast. Here, she learns more about her husband’s deceased wife Rebecca and the sinister housekeeper Mrs. Danvers (Kristin Scott Thomas).
The power of a flower
Chaumet creates a range of jewellery watches that takes its inspiration from Empress Joséphine’s favourite flower in a collection of Hortensia Éden mini jewellery watches. The collection has 23 different designs with a variety of colourful dials in lacquer, ornamental stones and mirror-effect, paired with equally colourful bracelets in Milanese or Polish mesh, satin, lizard or karung (snake leather).
