Spotlight on the Hermès Nantucket

Hermès creations are not simply objects; they are a reflection of the times and they appeal to our emotions. The Nantucket watch is steeped in history. Hermès has once again paired this watch with its early companion: the anchor chain. Discover the four new versions of this legendary model.

The Normandy coast as a source of inspiration

All the models sport a "Chaîne d’ancre" bracelet made out of the same material as the case. The anchor chain was designed by Robert Dumas during a trip to the Normandy coast in 1838. He was initially inspired by the chain links of a boat's anchor to create a bracelet that has since permeated the Maison's many crafts. Today, it has become an Hermès classic. The Nantucket watch is closely tied to the Cape Cod, both of which were released in 1991. The former features a rectangle within a rectangle, while the latter, a square within a rectangle.

An anchor chain bracelet for the new Nantucket

The new Nantucket collection comes in four versions: two in rose gold and two in stainless steel, with or without diamonds. Those in rose gold have a white mother-of-pearl dial, while the steel models boast a sandblasted rhodium-plated or silvered opaline dial. The watch houses a Swiss-made quartz movement. The rectangular 17x23 mm case is made entirely at the Hermès workshops. The font used for the numerals also draws its inspiration from the anchor chain. The incorporation of diamonds adds additional sparkle. The bracelet was made to be as lightweight and flexible as possible. The watch is protected by a sapphire crystal.

Between tradition and modernity: the Tank Louis Cartier

As you know, we are an authorised retailer for the iconic watchmaker Cartier. Hence, we are very pleased to present the brand’s latest releases. The new Tank Louis Cartier is back with models that are both traditional and timeless. Let’s discover together this collection combining authenticity and unparalleled performance.

Pure lines and contemporary proportions

As usual, Cartier plays with timelessness, lines that are minimalist and luxurious, and harmonious proportions. This collection was first released in 1917 and went on to mark the history of watchmaking by becoming one of Cartier’s iconic ranges. In 1922, the Tank was reinterpreted with a larger case featuring more refined, softer lines. Today the model comes in monochrome red, the brand’s signature colour, and grey. There is also a third even more elegant version. The surprise is contained in an all-black, timeless, understated model.

An in-house movement

The Tank Louis Cartier houses an in-house hand-winding movement called 1917 MC. This movement offers an incredible visual spectacle depending on the angle from which it is admired. Thanks to the knowhow of Cartier’s master watchmakers, who worked using an innovative electromechanical engraving technique, the magic is unveiled before our eyes. The markings are made with great precision and change how we perceive the colours. A delight for the eyes.

Lalique, 100 years of knowhow and exceptional creations

Lalique is a manufacturer that inspires French-made beauty, expertise and luxury. This year, the company is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Indeed, the first Alsatian oven was lit in 1922 and the lovely pieces began to emerge. René Lalique was mainly inspired by plants, animals and women. Let’s celebrate these 100 years together by taking a look at some legendary pieces.

The Blue Bacchantes Vase

The Bacchantes Vase was created by René Lalique in 1927. This extremely sensual vase represents the young priestesses of Bacchus. These women with their voluptuous curves offer us their beauty. The vase is crafted in satin-finished crystal to evoke the texture of skin. An ode to femininity that will captivate beholders!

The Merles et Raisins Vase

René Lalique created the Merles et Raisins decorative panels to adorn the legendary Orient Express. In 1928, these panels were made in pressed glass on a silver background and placed on Cuban mahogany woodwork. The Merles et Raisins Vase is a contemporary reinterpretation of these panels.

The Cabochon Ring

This minimalist ring with its timeless look has become an iconic Lalique creation. This modern piece of jewellery is available in an array of colours.

The Ginkgo Necklace

Ginkgo Biloba is an ancient tree that symbolises hope, love and longevity. This tree has the unique feature of changing colour with the seasons, becoming bright green in spring before turning a stunning golden yellow from summer to fall. This treasure of nature inspired Maison Lalique to create a necklace adorned with delicate green crystal beads and 18-carat yellow-gold-plated brass leaves.

The 100 Points Universal Glass

The 100 Points collection takes its name from the wine scoring system. The glasses combine utility with a modern design. The collection features glass blown by master glassmakers. These universal glasses allow you to discover the intensity of any type of wine.

The Épines Candle

A red candle in a clear crystal candle holder. This scented candle will take you on a journey with its bewitching fragrance. Once the candle has fully burned, the crystal holder can be used as a vase.
