At the heart of contemporary haute horlogerie, Schaefer & Companions presents Antarctica, a collection that transcends the concept of the watch to become inner expression, poetic reflection, artistic creation.
Consisting of eight limited edition pieces, the collection is the result of the intimate and free work of Schaefer & Companions, masters who interpret (each with their own stroke, memory and sensitivity) the silent majesty, sacred isolation and ancestral resilience of the Antarctic continent.
Each watch is a story engraved in time: a mirror of the soul, a symbol of the connection between the human being and primordial vastness. It is here that craftsmanship excellence meets creative freedom, in a profound dialogue between technique and vision.
The philosophy of Schaefer & Companions, born in Le Locle, the cradle of Swiss Haute Horlogerie, is based on an essential principle: freedom of personal expression. In this vision, the hand of the craftsman does not execute, it interprets. Each gesture is not repetition, but a unique act, capable of infusing an authentic soul into each creation.
The result is a collection that is divided into thematic declinations: metamorphosis of shapes, materials and textures, all consistent with the same poetic core. Each model is born from a harmonious tension between rigor and imagination, between matter and spirit.
In Antarctica, surfaces come alive thanks to ancient and noble techniques: enameling, inlay, micro-painting and engraving give life to unique pieces of art, where time does not flow but is contemplated. A collection not designed to measure time, but to sculpt it. Not just tools, but collector's watches, intended for those who know how to recognize, in the silence of the ice, the powerful voice of free creation.
With the new Heart to Earth collection, Pasquale Bruni signs an inspired and visionary chapter of Made in Italy high jewelry. A line that does not just dress, but connects deeply, telling through the light of the gems a spiritual and sensory journey that unites soul, heart and earth.
In these creations, the earth is represented as a flower, the heart as precious stones: a harmonious union between living and vibrant elements that gives life to a universal energy system. A profound dialogue between the wearer of the jewel and the world around him, where every shape is a symbol and every stone an inner guide.
The ethics of beauty is an integral part of this vision. The gems used (emeralds from Zambia, rubies from Mozambique, blue sapphires from Madagascar and Sri Lanka) are selected with absolute attention to sustainability and responsible sourcing. Not just materials, but messengers of meaning: emeralds recall rebirth and the Heart Chakra, rubies symbolize courage and vital passion , while sapphires represent truth and the spiritual vastness of the sky and sea.
The collection also evolves in the technical gesture, with a meticulous study of cuts and an innovative approach that bears the signature of Eugenia Bruni. Each piece is the result of research that sinks into the roots of the Italian goldsmith's art, but looks ahead, with a pure and feminine gaze, capable of transforming the jewel into a form of self-expression.
In the center, the diamond riviera moves like a river of light, fluid and vital, which embodies the existential journey: letting oneself be carried away to rediscover oneself, getting lost to be reborn. It is a metaphor for the inner journey that the collection offers with grace, strength and authenticity.
Heart to Earth represents a turning point in positioning for the Maison, which chooses to further elevate its voice in the panorama of contemporary high jewelry, combining craftsmanship, spirituality and ethical beauty with extraordinary consistency. A collection designed for those who are not simply looking for a jewel, but a sign, an aesthetic ritual, an inner pleasure to wear with pride. A jewel handmade in Italy, which vibrates in unison with the essence of those who choose it.
On the occasion of the launch of the new Continental GT and GTC, Bentley Motors is enriching its accessories collection with a refined travel set that blends the excellence of automotive design with the art of high-end leather goods. A tribute to the brand's contemporary vision, where every detail tells of luxury, heritage and innovation.
Consisting of three exclusive pieces (a weekend bag, a backpack and a beauty case), the set stands out for its Gravity Grey shade, inspired by the new interior colour code of the fourth generation of the Continental. A sophisticated, deep grey accent with Mandarin, Kingfisher and Hotspur colour accents, echoing the chromatic elegance of Bentley's interior.
Made entirely by hand in Italy with fine materials, the three accessories represent the perfect balance between functional aesthetics and sartorial refinement. Contrasting stitching, sculpted buckles, luggage labels with embossed emblems and a worked leather interior elevate each element to a work of design, designed to accompany the most demanding travelers in every corner of the world with discreet and unmistakable style.
A leather goods set that is much more than just an accessory, revealing itself as a tangible declination of the Bentley lifestyle, designed for those who recognize the value of materials, craftsmanship and detail. A collector's item, but also a travel companion, available at a price of £2,500 (VAT included) on the official website: shop.bentleymotors.com.
