The Tom Ford 001

The US designer took his time with his first timepiece, and we can understand why: He’s ensured that the Swiss-made watch is elegant for both sexes, and that its nterchangeable Nato-style leather straps can be changed easily, sliding on and off , like a belt, from under the case. Only from his Shoppes @ Marina Bay Sands boutique.

Tiffany & Co.’s Paper Flowers
Reed Krakoff’s first jewellery collection for this brand is decidedly low-key and casual: delicately shaped pendant s, earrings, bracelets, and rings in polished platinum, with diamonds. Aimed at the youthful, the pieces look best with equally low-key and casual wear.

This is her second joint collection with Coach’s creative director Stuart Vevers, and the first to include ready-to-wear. The collection of slips, knits, handbags, small leather goods and other accessories refl ects her personal style, and also includes a bunny print (we suspect it’s a tribute to her late pet rabbit, Pumshkin). $95-$1,650
