IWC Schaffhausen Portofino Automatic 37

A favourite of Cate Blanchett and Emily Blunt, the elegant Portofino possesses the timeless appeal of a classic. This three-hand automatic rendition comes in a 37mm stainless steel case and set with diamonds all around the bezel. The sparkle matches beautifully the sun-pattern finish of the dial. For a final flourish, the exclusive Santoni alligator strap comes in a shade of red that even Santa would approve.

Piaget Extremely Lady

A vintage re-edition, the ultra-feminine Extremely Lady is crafted entirely in pink gold; the metal has been cleverly manipulated to feature a wood-like decoration for the bracelet. The bezel is set with 24 brilliant-cut diamonds. The opulence extends all the way to the dial, which is made entirely of red ruby.

Harry Winston Avenue Classic Aurora

The Art Deco-inspired triangular case of 18k white gold is embellished with 50 brilliant-cut diamonds with the arches inspired by Harry Winston’s iconic Fifth Avenue boutique looking soothing in blue sapphires. The octagonal minute track on the dial is a nod to the emerald cut, Mr Winston’s preferred cut for gemstones.

Corum La Grande Vie

The simplicity of the two-hand automatic is elevated with a radiant dial in green, its shimmering quality attributable to the sunray finish. The rest of the design is a study in refined minimalism, from the skeletonised Dauphine hands to the slim baton hour markers.
