CARTIER

Cartier have brought back the Panthère de Cartier watch style collection as a focus for 2017. They have revived this classic collection with great enthusiasm, and in a range of metals and beautiful finishes to adorn our wrists.

The one big favourite is the double or triple loop bracelet in yellow pink or whit gold. Its one of the most distinctive Cartier designs which has extended it’s strap to make it into a jewellery piece at a glance. The supple chain wraps its links seductively and loosely around the wrist with bejewelled styles being the most coveted.

CHANEL 

There are many watches masquerading as jewellery, but a watch masquerading as jewellery that fastens with a handbag clasp? Hello the new Code Coco.The distinctive house of Chanel as some of the most recognisable and iconic pieces of any house in fashion all influenced by Gabriel Chanel.

TAG HEUER

A first for the stunning model, Bella Hadid now has a watch named after her, Link Lady by Tag Heuer. The Bella edition has been remodelled with a more glamorous and opulent look.

Bella Hadid became a Tag Heuer ambassador last March, and has just released her first collaboration with the watch house. Tag's most feminine model, the Link Lady, has been revisited in matte black with a pearly watch face, 12 diamonds replace numbers and 48 circle the face “I love my limited edition Link Lady because diamonds go with everything! It’s a particularly daring and versatile watch” said the model. Bella has even given the watch an unmistakable touch as her signature is graved into the back of the limited-edition, 500-piece model. Only a lucky few will be able to get their hands on one so line up!
