Cartier Tortue With Bracelet
The Cartier Tortue Ref. 96067 in 18k white gold is a refined expression of one of the maison’s most elegant shaped cases. Measuring 23 × 30 mm, its softly curved profile frames a white Paris-signed dial with black Roman numerals, preserving Cartier’s classical identity in a compact, sculptural form. Powered by a mechanical movement and paired with an 18k yellow-gold bracelet, this example offers a subtle interplay of tone and texture: understated, distinctive, and unmistakably Cartier.

Audemars Piguet Mini Cobra-Pave Diamond Dial And Ruby Indices
The Audemars Piguet “Mini Cobra” is a captivating example of the maison’s jewelry-driven creativity from the late 20th century. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the watch features a compact 22 mm case paired with a distinctive cobra-link bracelet that wraps fluidly around the wrist. Its pavé diamond dial, punctuated by ruby accents, creates a rich interplay of texture and color, while the manual-wind movement preserves the elegance and thinness of the design. Both expressive and refined, the Mini Cobra stands as a bold statement of Audemars Piguet’s artistry beyond traditional watchmaking.

Omega De Ville X Andrew Grima
This Omega De Ville watch, created in collaboration with Andrew Grima, embodies the sculptural elegance of 1970s design. Crafted in 18k white gold and paired with an integrated white-gold bracelet, the piece presents a refined interplay of form, texture, and proportion. Its slender rectangular case frames a brushed silver dial beneath an emerald-cut crystal, whose sharp facets enhance the watch’s architectural character. Powered by a manual-wind movement and preserved in new-old-stock condition, it stands as a rare and expressive example of design-led Swiss watchmaking.

Omega X Gilbert Albert Square Hidden Watch
This Omega hidden-dial bracelet watch, attributed to the design language of Gilbert Albert, is a striking example of mid-century sculptural watchmaking. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the piece conceals its white dial beneath an intricately textured bracelet, allowing the watch to present first as jewelry and only second as a timepiece. Measuring approximately 18 mm at the dial and powered by a manual-wind movement, it embodies an era when design, craftsmanship, and artistic expression took precedence over convention. Preserved in new-old-stock condition with hangtags, it stands as a rare and compelling object of 1960s design.
