A cool, dry place – away from humidity and moisture, will keep it gleaming, free from tarnish. 'Anklets may naturally gather traces of daily wear, so we recommend regularly cleaning it to keep it sparkling. With the holiday season upon us, your anklet may come into contact with saltwater, pool water, and suncreams, which can dull its natural sparkle. To ensure it remains as elegant as ever, make sure to give your anklet a gentle clean with soapy water after any contact with these liquids.'

Why every milestone in the life of Dr Z Teo comes with a watch
The Aivee Group CEO Dr Z Teo sat down with Tatler GMT to share the milestones and memories behind his collection of timepieces A watch, for some, is just an accessory—but for Dr Z Teo, it's a reminder of life's most meaningful events. 'I always told myself that for every milestone, I'll buy myself a watch—so there's a memory attached to it,' the aesthetic doctor and entrepreneur says. 'It's a symbol of a particular stage in my life.' Teo's journey into collecting began when he was growing up in Singapore, with his father's passion for timepieces serving as an instrumental influence. Today, his collection is as much about aesthetics as it is about sentiment, with each piece taking him back to monumental moments in his life—achievements and memories worth preserving. From his first watch, a blue G-Shock earned after acing a school exam, to his current favourite, a diamond-studded Rolex Datejust 41, Teo doesn't view watches as investments, but as extensions of his identity. Veering away from the sentimentality wrapped around his collection, Teo also views a watch as an aspirational tool. 'It's something to inspire you in pushing yourself farther and rewarding yourself with every success,' he adds. In this interview, The Aivee Group CEO shares more about his collection—from his most memorable timepiece to his favourite destinations for watch shopping and more. In case you missed it: Radically refined: Bvlgari's defining turn at Watches and Wonders 2025 Above Teo's personal collection includes: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph, Rolex Datejust 41 in Mother of Pearl with diamond dial, Rolex Yachtmaster II in yellow gold, Patek Philippe Calatrava, and Roger Dubuis Easy Diver Spider

Honestly, I Wasn't a Watch Person Until I Tried Breda Watches
Have you ever seen one of your favorite influencers wearing a cool, vintage-inspired watch and wondered where they got it from? Like, sure, your dad has a watch that he wears everyday, but the ones I'm talking about are watches. Well, there's a good chance that it's from Breda, a design-forward, vintage-inspired watch brand started by Amir & Shabeena Meghani. Breda showed up on my radar a few years ago when I started to get into in watches as a form of jewelry and I was immediately obsessed with their interesting, sculptural designs. Their celebrity and influencer fans are numerous: Emily Ratajkowski, Demi Lovato, Raul Lopez, Sabrina Brier, Reece Feldman, and tons of other Pinterest-y fashion girlies. EmRata has been spotted multiple times wearing the Elemental version of the Jane watch, a simple oval silhouette that's one of the brand's best sellers—and honestly, I'm interested in anything that woman wears. Breda's most recent release is the Tethered collection, featuring their classic watch faces with a slim, woven band. I had been eyeing their popular Jane watch with a sky blue Mother of Pearl dial for over a year now, so I snagged it in the new Tethered style, and it's the perfect addition to the mixed gold and silver rings I wear on a daily basis. Fellow small-wristed people will appreciate that the band is completely adjustable, so no worrying about it slipping and sliding down your arm! While my exact watch sold out pretty quickly, it's still available in other colors and band styles. I'll admit that I'm newer to wearing watches, but I'm honestly eyeing the mixed metal Tethered Jane because it's such a great combo of metals to jazz up a boring work 'fit. Demi Lovato has taken to Instagram twice to post mirror selfies showing off her Breda Time Ring, a pretty stainless steel piece embedded with Austrian crystals that was made in collaboration with the jewelry brand Dalmata. Yes, it has a fully-functioning watch face, and yes, it's still in stock! There are so many other Breda styles that are incredibly chic that I couldn't just not mention—the Virgil, a classic rectangular shape that comes with a gorgeous ochre face, the Revel, which features a chic buckle design, the Coda, a more masculine silhouette, and the Sync, an androgynous, mechanical watch with a thin, flat band. I could go on and on yapping about my favorite styles, but why don't you just browse the gallery below instead? Oh, and pro styling tip: You can wear them one at a time, or take a note from your favorite fashion influencers and stack a few of them on one wrist for a maximalist bracelet moment!
