Bagaar LOVES
… TAG Heuer’s re-edition of a brand icon: The Carrera 160 Years Montreal Limited Edition, of which there are only 1,000 pieces, launched in celebration of the brand’s 160th anniversary. Inspired by the original Montreal watch of 1972, this new automatic Carrera bears a similar vibrant colour palette of red, blue and yellow, set against a matt white dial within a comfortably sized 39mm case. What that essentially means: This is for women looking for a watch with a spot of fun.

ARCHITECTURAL JEWELS
Hermès’s latest high jewellery collection, Lignes Sensibles, presents sculptural creations that bring new meaning to body ornamentation. Designed to caress the skin and embrace the body with its bold silhouettes, the 45-piece range by Creative Director of Hermès Jewellery Pierre Hardy marries avant-garde lines (inspired by circuits and grids) with sensuous and generously sized cabochon gems in the softest hues—to results that defy expectations of what high jewellery should look like. “The entire collection is oriented towards intimacy,” says Hardy. “I was thinking of the effervescence of certain emotions, of the abandonment to pleasure. The pieces sit in places that are connected to desire, creating an eroticism that inevitably reinterprets the body.”

INTERDISCIPLINARY DESIGN
Houndstooth for workdays and camouflage for play dates—the latest timepieces from Chopard and Hublot have got your style for the week covered. The product of a collaboration with famed Italian tailor Kiton Ateliers, Chopard’s L.U.C XP II Sarto Kiton features a houndstooth-patterned dial encased within a beadblasted DLC-coated steel case measuring just 7.2mm thick. Released as a limited edition of just 100 pieces, the watch is completed with handmade straps that blend Mongolian cashmere, wool and flannel lined with alligator leather. Over at Hublot, Yohji Yamamoto’s expertise is once again placed centre stage with the limited-edition Big Bang Camo Yohji Yamamoto 45mm timepiece, of which there are only 200 pieces. A 3D-effect sapphire crystal dial bearing a three-tone camo print is accompanied by camo straps that see individual camo-shaped pieces fused together by the vulcanisation process.
