CHANEL SPRING 2012

NEW ROLEX 2012

The Rolex Deep Sea Special watch that accompanied the Trieste to a historic descent of 10,916 (35,800 feet) in the Mariana trench about 52 years back, created quite a stir among watch connoisseurs. Rolex is all set to revive that glory by designing the Deepsea Challenger that goes even deeper than its former counterpart. The magnificent watch is appointed for a special challenge- that of accompanying National Geographic explorer-in-residence James Cameron as part of the expedition. The Deepsea Challenger is designed to go a mammoth 12,000 meters/ 39,370 feet below sea level for which the watchmaker has given it a massive thickness to the case.

BACCARA TIMEPIECE DOUBLES UP AS AMINIATURE WITH THREE GAMES

Would you like to add yet another Christophe Claret creation to your collection? Well if you are a poker lover at heart as well, then this one sporting three games: Baccara, roulette and dice game will get you hooked. With a 45 mm dial face, the watch dubbed Baccara, runs on an automatic movement with a BCR09 Caliber. The watch features three “BANKER” windows and three “PLAYER” windows at the front and "3D roulette wheel rotating in unison with the watch movement" at the back. Also every time the shutter opens, for either the player or the bank, a cathedral gong can be see through a caseband window at 2 o’clock.

PINK DIAMOND IPONE IS AVAILABLE IN MOSCOW

The iPhone as a device isn’t really too different across its different versions, so it doesn’t bring in too much opulence. If diamond, gold, Swarovski crystals, platinum, wood, leather on the iPhone hasn't impressed you yet, here is one more option. Luxury brand Sun & Moon is out with a Pink Diamond iPhone. The home button has been replaced with a big pink princess cut diamond. The device's 18-carat gold frame comes with a special micropave technology that can hold 850 diamonds totalling to about 4.33 carats .

HERMES 1.9$ MILION DIAMOND HANDBAG

If you thought carrying a Birkin bag speaks of luxury, then you are yet to discover the luxurious and most opulent one the brand has to offer. Hermès has come out with stunning new diamond-studded miniature totes worth £1.2 million ($1.9 million) each. These miniature totes are set in gold and come studded with thousands of precious stones. But these aren't really bags, as they have been designed as bracelets with the handbag strap resting on the wearer's wrist.

SWIRL AROUND WITH DIOR GRAND BAL RESILLE TIMEPIECE

Designers are always looking for inspiration when designing their next collection. Design house Christian Dior is no exception. They went looking for inspiration in-house for their newest timepiece. Inspired by their 2011 Dior VII Grand Bal collection of watches, they launched the new 2012 Grand Bal Resille. This timepiece is made from white or black hi-tech ceramic offering a high level of robustness. The dial is natural mother-of-pearl and quite betwitching. It is embellished with diamonds which has been intricately set to resemble a grand ball gown

MARC JOCOBS FALL 2012

Speaking about scarves, we should mentions that Marc Jacobs offered us wide knitted pieces, which reminded more of palantines, in bright tones, some were even patterned and embellished. Wearing them would be easy. In addition to all the traditional ways we would just fasten them with a large pin .

BURBERRY FALL/WINTER 2012

Trying to match Town and Field themes in Burberry Prorsum Fall/ Winter 2012 collection Christopher Bailey simply failed to do that. The designs which were showcased during the show looked ridiculous. Classic trenches and pencil skirts came with large puffy pockets, white blouses with balloon sleeves looked horrible paired with midi skirts, and even belts decorated with bows looked ugly combined with all these weird-looking pieces (while they looked so cute on pieces from Pre-Fall 2012 range).

JIMMY CHOO SUNGLASSES 2012

The Jimmy Choo Dahlia sunglasses feature captivating brown beige frames with gray shade lenses. They are the perfect addition to your wardrobe.

RALPH LAUREN FALL 2012

This morning Vlad and I attended the Ralph Lauren Fall 2012 Accessories preview at their Upper East Side boutique. Sometimes I forget the beauty that Ralph Lauren has to offer, but being there in person today reinvigorated me and reminded me precisely what it is this iconic brand is all about.

MARC JOCOBS BAG COLLECTION 2012

Marc by Marc Jacobs’ runway bags tend not to reveal a great deal about what the entire accessories line will look like when it comes out. For his diffusion line, Jacobs generally only reveals one or two shapes or ideas in the hands of his models; as you all well know by now, the eventual retail line will contain dozens of shapes, sizes and colors in a litany of different sub-lines. Some will be familiar, others will be entirely new, but at least a few of them will throw me into a tizzy, all at a price point that stays under $600.

MICHAEL MICHAEL IPAD

BULGARI SERPENTI WATCHES

I am not charmed by snakes, but the Bulgari’s Serpenti weaves a rather fascinating story. And in yet another rendition for BaselWorld 2012, the stunning watch doesn’t disappoint. The new version sports a see-through 18-carat pink gold double wrap-around structure, in jet-black or eggshell-white scales along with brilliant-cut diamonds. The single-coil watch sports pink gold scales set with diamonds. The double coil version comes with pink gold coils and 385 diamonds. The “head of the reptile”, features 6 brilliant-cut diamonds weighing 0.6 carats on either sides of a black sapphire or white mother-of-pearl dial along with 12 diamond-set hour-markers

VERTU’S CONSTELLATION QUEST FERRARI REVEALED

The Constellation Quest Ferrari by Vertu is a treat for the eyes and the senses. The latest handset is packed with features and services that go a mile ahead to impress the owner and onlookers likewise. The phone comes with a unique coating which is as thin as 1/50 of a human hair but as strong as steel. This is also used by the car company on its engine parts. The Italian tradition runs in its appearance with handmade leather on the phone as well as leather slip case and scintillates with a ‘sea of sapphire’ keypad

CHRISTIAN LOUBUTIN PUMPS SPORT CRYSTAL STUDDED SEX

There is nothing that shouts sassy than a good pair of heels. How much cooler do you think it will be if your pumps shout out Sex from roof-tops. Our new pair of patent leather pumps from Christian Louboutin does just that and we’d be more than happy to wear it. These bold shoes feature three crystal studded letters, S, E and X that conjure up to the word sex. We’re just hoping to bump into some lady who’s all game to handle the attention that she would draw wearing these oomph-y pair of 5-inch pumps .

BULGARI PAPILLON VOYAGEUR OFFERS THE BEST OF TWO TIME ZONES

The world is shrinking and people shuttle between continents all the time. Probably this is what urged Bulgari to bring out the new Bulgari Papillon Voyageur, from the Daniel Roth Collection. This is the second watch to feature their patented minutes display system after the Papillon Chronograph in 2010 and sports a dual-time reading technique. The chronograph is simple to decode, the local time is displayed through a vertical aperture at 12 o’clock, which is calibrated around a 24-hour scale. "The dual time-zone indication is provided by a central blued open-worked GMT hand sweeping around a 24-hour graduated guilloché disc and adjusted according to the chosen time zone by means of two push-button respectively situated at 10 o’clock (+) and 2 o’clock (-)." The minutes can be read using the Papillon device, located at the dial centre. The device displays "measured minutes via an ingenious device connected to the bearing disc. The latter performs a complete 360° rotation in two hours, and bears two independent retractable lozenge-shaped hands running in turn over two 180-degree segments."
