Consider the cocktail watch, the trending jewelled timepiece style
The cocktail watch is well and truly back. It used to be that a pretty, tiny watch with gemstones was an old-fashioned notion. Something that our mums, perhaps, might save for fancy occasions. It's not the case any more, and a tiny jewelled timepiece is fresh all over again. We're seeing it on major carpet events like the Met Gala and Oscars, with celebrities pairing glamorous gowns and statement jewels with elegant cocktail watches on the wrist. Cartier is, unsurprisingly, a front-runner in this category. In fact, the renaissance of the cocktail watch might even be credited with the runaway success of the reintroduced Baignoire—so popular that it took even the Parisian maison by surprise. With an icon in hand, Cartier has now added new levels of preciousness to its sublime oval design. The Jewelled Baignoires are gently sized up and set on every conceivable surface with gemstones. See, above, Cartier ambassador Anna Sawai wearing a model with 229 brilliant-cut diamonds weighing 7.70 carats, 272 blue sapphires weighing 4.4 carats, complemented with aquamarines and spessartite garnets; and a gold dial covered with 162 diamonds totalling 1 carat and a spessartite garnet at 12 o'clock to indicate the right side up. Tiffany & Co.'s new Rope watch—a Jean Schlumberger-inspired design of twisted gold and beautifully-set diamonds that speaks to the brand's core as a jeweller. Courtesy of Tiffany & Co. Jewellery houses, unsurprisingly, offer some of the best in class when it comes to the sensitive proportions and balance of design on a cocktail watch. Tiffany & Co. recently introduced the Tiffany Rope, a radical new timepiece that is entirely powered by light—no batteries or winding, thank you. It features an advanced solar movement that charges indoors and out, and the inimitable look of Jean Schlumberger's rope jewellery motifs. The American luxury brand is making moves into watchmaking, with the distinct propositional bent of fully retaining and honouring its identity as a jeweller first and foremost. Other places you might find this sensibility of cocktail elegance are heritage watch brands. If a watchmaker has been around for, say, more than a century, odds are it has in its history produced exactly the kind of old-world jewelled timepieces for women that are back in trend. Audemars Piguet, for one, revived a tradition of miniaturised watches last year with its trio of Royal Oak Minis in a frosted gold finish. The change in proportion and finish turns a sporty silhouette on its head, imbuing the Royal Oak with a jewelled sensibility even without any gem-setting. Or consider Jaeger-LeCoultre, which has in its broad array of Reverso models a line like the Reverso One with a taller, elongated proportion. It makes all the difference, transforming the Art Deco design from its origins as a watch for polo players into something more feminine and chic. The ultimate touch of beauty to a Reverso One might be the Precious Flowers designs from Jaeger's Métiers Rares workshops. The gold cases are fully diamond-set, with works of art on the reverse dial: floral illustrations writ in black lacquer, grand feu champlevé enamel and snow-set diamonds.

Stylish Session: Dr. Sebi's Daughter Kellie Bowman Hosts Jubilant Jewelry Celebration With Tiffany & Co.
What does Black liberation look like through the lens of luxury? At Tiffany & Co.'s Lenox Square, Kellie Bowman gave it form, sparkle, and purpose. Source: @ / AC Hampton Juneteenth celebrates Black liberation, and this event defined Black freedom of expression in terms of fine jewelry. Often, many may feel unwelcome to browse expensive luxury jewelry brands. That's just what Kellie Bowman, daughter of the late Dr. Sebi, wanted to expose in her private Tiffany & Co.'s Lenox Square event in Atlanta. But this wasn't just another brand event; it was a reclamation. Named 'Stylish Session,' it was a curated space to be true to yourself. Source: @ / AC Hampton Jewelry lovers are very familiar with Tiffany Blue! So it truly was an honor to party in luxury. Hosted by Kellie Bowman, wellness advocate and daughter of the late holistic healer Dr. Sebi, the event blended elegance with essence. The Tiffany & Co. floor was filled with laughter and healing energy as Black men and women were adorned in diamonds they didn't have to buy to try on. Guests were welcomed with unlimited champagne, luxe hospitality, and the sounds of live string renditions performed by Atlanta native and violinist Jasmin Rhia. Rhia is a classically trained musician who began playing at age 10 and attended Florida International University on a music scholarship. Rhia elevated the room with soulful interpretations of Black music—reminding everyone that even in the most polished spaces, Black culture sets the tone. In a powerful mid-event speech, Bowman told the origin story of her connection to Tiffany & Co.: 'When I was a pre-teen, I'd walk by the Tiffany store in New York with my father. One day, he grabbed my arm and said, 'We're going in.' He told me, 'You are the prize in this room. There's nothing unattainable for you.'' That moment, she recalled, was sealed by a store associate who wrapped a Tiffany ribbon around her finger—marking her presence as sacred. 'That was five decades ago and I realized it wasn't the jewelry, it was my character I was building,' she said. 'And Tiffany was a big part of that.' Source: @ / AC Hampton During our one-on-one interview, Bowman emphasized the importance of representation within luxury spaces. 'Having women come in here and make this your closet—your jewelry box for a day—was overwhelming to me,' she told BOSSIP. 'It's about healing. That freedom to just try things on without buying a thing is important.' As the CEO of Sebi's Daughters, Bowman continues her father's holistic wellness mission, bridging generational health with mental clarity. 'This—what you're viewing—is my mindset since I was 12,' she explained. 'Me being balanced has more to do with what I'm thinking, and then it transcends to what I'm eating—and that becomes my truth. Anything can be changed with that. You can change your diet. You can change life experience. You can turn a tragedy into something positive. It's all about how you see it.' At Tiffany & Co., every piece of jewelry tells a story—and during this Juneteenth celebration, I got to wear one of my own. Paloma White, a client advisor with a radiant spirit, helped guide me through the collection. She slipped a pendant around my neck and shared its unexpected history: 'You are actually wearing the white gold lock pendant,' she told me. 'What's lovely about this pendant—it is actually based off an archival brooch that a husband gave to his wife, and he inscribed 'In Faith and Love' on it. So it's a beautiful piece, kind of about being exclusive and locked in together.' Source: @ / AC Hampton Her warmth and knowledge added an emotional layer to the moment—it wasn't just about the metal or the price tag. It was about meaning. Later, Ren Fennell, team manager at the Lenox location, took my personal style into account in a way that made me feel especially seen. She noticed the statement pendant I had on when I arrived and thoughtfully selected a piece from their collection that aligned with my bold, expressive taste—while elevating it through Tiffany's timeless design language. 'The first piece that you tried on was the T1 necklace,' Ren explained. 'It is representing endless possibilities. It is in a white gold metal with individually set pavé diamonds.' That attention to who I already was—and how I showed up—transformed the experience from simple styling to thoughtful affirmation. It wasn't about changing me. It was about highlighting my existing light. Then came a truly memorable conversation with Harold Gainer, a master engraver who's worked with Tiffany & Co. since the age of 18. Now 64 and based out of New York, Harold shared the art and patience behind his craft. 'I am a master engraver and I work at the flagship in New York,' he said. 'I enjoy this work because it's showcasing the unique artistry of engraving, where people can get something custom. The time depends on the piece—some designs I can finish, like a name on the jewelry, in a day. But others may take months.' Source: @ / AC Hampton His calm delivery and seasoned wisdom reflected the deep craftsmanship that often goes unnoticed behind the shimmer of luxury. He wasn't just carving names—he was preserving legacy through detail. 'For example, my most challenging piece was a trophy I made for the New York Yacht Club of the globe,' he added. 'I made sure to add lots of details—you know, of the continents—so that took me some months. But it was beautiful work. I love it.' That was the energy of the day—intentional, layered, and deeply human. Every clasp, curve, and carat carried a story. Whether it was a lock symbolizing unity, a knot representing connection, or hardware embodying resilience, Tiffany's design language turned jewelry into something more: a reflection of who we are. In that moment—draped in diamonds, surrounded by legacy—I didn't feel like I was just trying things on. I felt like I was stepping into my own. The woman who helped make the event possible, Dionicia Beck, serves as the store director of Tiffany & Co. at Lenox Square. Her own journey with the company spans nearly two decades. 'I've been trying to get a Juneteenth event. Like, why wouldn't we? Like, we're in Atlanta!' Source: @ / AC Hampton She encouraged attendees to think deeply about the symbolism in the jewelry: 'When you look at these beautiful jewelry collections, they're not just jewelry… When you think of a lock, what do you think? You think of protection. When you think of Tiffany Knot, you think of togetherness. You think of a bond. When you think of Hardware, you think of resilience.' Source: @ / AC Hampton To end the event, she offered a toast in Bowman's honor with champagne and company branded chocolate. In her message, she left the crowd with a challenge: 'Find your Tiffany's.' Source: @ / AC Hampton From Bowman's embrace to the staff's attentiveness, and the graceful live music in the background, I felt like I had a seat at the table, even if I didn't swipe a card. This Juneteenth, we weren't just celebrating freedom—we were trying it on. And it fit. This event was a beautiful cultural collide & the first of its kind for the Tiffany & Co. brand; produced & curated by Porscha Sinclair. 'It was important that the evening be an authentic representation of both Kellie Bowman & Tiffany & Co. As both are distinct, elevated and intentional brands,' said Sinclair in a statement.

LVMH Reinstates Michael Burke to lead Americas as focus shifts West
LVMH has appointed Michael Burke as Chairman and CEO of LVMH Americas, marking a high-profile return for one of Bernard Arnault's most trusted lieutenants. Burke will oversee North and Latin American operations, including key brands like Tiffany & Co., Marc Jacobs, and Sephora, as well as growing real estate interests in the U.S. Once thought to be easing into retirement, Burke's return underscores LVMH's strategic pivot toward the U.S., which accounted for 25 percent of its 84.7bn euros revenue in 2024. With China's luxury market slowing and Europe softening, the U.S. has regained primacy despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. Burke will now manage regional leads Anish Melwani and Davide Marcovitch, and has also been named non-executive chairman of Tiffany & Co. The move, first reported by WWD, signals both continuity and a renewed U.S. push. 'Throughout our close and fruitful collaboration, Michael has perfectly incarnated the values of our group,' Bernard Arnault, chairman and CEO of LVMH, stated in the announcement. 'His outstanding leadership helped to continuously elevate the desirability and craft of the whole industry to new heights.' In parallel, Daniel DiCicco was appointed President and CEO of Louis Vuitton China in April, as LVMH doubles down on leadership in both key regions. Burke's reinstatement could prove prescient. His deep understanding of the American consumer, instinct for brand positioning, and direct line to Arnault offer LVMH a steady hand as it navigates rising tariffs, cultural shifts, and ambitious retail expansion. At a time when luxury brands are recalibrating for a more volatile global market, placing a seasoned operator in its second-largest territory may be the group's smartest bet on stability and growth.

It comes in waves: Tiffany & Co.'s Blue Book 2025 looks to the sea
The depths of the sea contain a multitude of mysteries. It was a source of fascination for Jean Schlumberger, the late great Tiffany & Co. designer, whose aesthetic and outlook on design continues to influence the American jewellery brand. This year, the brand is dedicating its Blue Book collection of high jewellery to the theme of a Sea of Wonder. The collection's spring chapter was introduced in New York in April, with a summer chapter to follow. In its first outing, Tiffany & Co. explored ideas such as oceanic flora and plants, imagery of seahorses, sea turtles, sea urchins and starfish inspired by archival Schlumberger designs, and waves. Nathalie Verdeille, the chief artistic officer of jewellery and high jewellery, said in press notes that these creations weave a story of oceanic wonder, while also exemplifying Tiffany & Co.'s love of pushing the boundaries on creativity and savoir faire. 'Drawing inspiration from Jean Schlumberger's fascination with the sea, our house's pioneering spirit endures, driving us to reinvent archival inspirations from a modern perspective.' Ocean Flora earrings in platinum, set with a pair of unenhanced emeralds weighing over 3 carats total, and with diamonds Courtesy of Tiffany & Co. Ocean Flora ring in white gold, set with a cushion-cut 16.5-carat Type IIa DIF diamond, and with diamonds Courtesy of Tiffany & Co. Tiffany & Co.'s deep sea story opens with the Ocean Flora jewels, in which marine plants bloom and sway in an undersea garden. A necklace, earring and ring parure is set with verdant Zambian emeralds, while a set of diamond-forward jewels have gemstones mounted on delicate tendrils that suggest movement. A noteworthy standout: a ring set with a Type IIa DIF cushion-cut diamond weighing over 16.5 carats, so substantial that even its setting prongs are pavéd. From flora to fauna, the collection moves into sea creatures touched by the influences of Schlumberger's style. Verdeille, who joined Tiffany & Co. in 2021, has proven a deft interpreter of the late French designer's archives. Her creations draw from the past, then depart in a modern way to create a whimsical style that is distinctly Tiffany. Seahorse brooch in platinum and yellow gold, with diamonds, sapphires, blue zircons, and moonstones. On background, an archival advertisement for a Jean Schlumberger seahorse design. Courtesy of Tiffany & Co. The Seahorse chapter, for instance, closely references Schlumberger's brooches from 1968. Verdeille, however, has introduced unusual gemstones and colours to create an enthralling palette. Blue zircons—an undersung coloured gemstone and not at all the same as cubic zirconia—are the star in this chapter. They bring a gentle undertone of colour with a bright sparkle, contrasted with the intensity of sapphire cabochons and accented with opalescent carved fluted moonstones. The Starfish jewels reference a 1956 Schlumberger design, reimagined as tendrilled, textured sea creatures set with Mozambique rubies. Courtesy of Tiffany & Co. Starfish ring in platinum and yellow gold, set with a cushion-cut unenhanced Mozambique ruby of over 6 carats, and with rose- and brilliant-cut diamonds. Courtesy of Tiffany & Co. In the Starfish designs, these aquatic creatures are realised with naturalistic curves. Their tough and spiny exteriors are evoked with brilliant- and rose-cut diamonds, the former to bring sparkling light and the latter for a softer, geometric diffusion. The centres of these starfish are set with unenhanced rubies that, according to chief gemologist Victoria Reynolds, 'possess this gemstone's most sought-after qualities: a strongly saturated red colour with a splash of fluorescences that is further enhanced by their high clarity'. Urchin necklace in platinum and yellow gold, set with a step-cut Fancy Intense Yellow diamond of over 18 carats, with yellow and white diamonds. Courtesy of Tiffany & Co. Sea urchins, meanwhile, visit Schlumberger's favoured palette of white and yellow. Here, it's realised as a suite of incredible yellow diamond jewels that incorporate the designer's signature rope motifs in gold to create texture. This chapter also sees the high jewellery revival of Schlumberger's famed paillonné enamel bracelets, which were a favourite of patrons like Jackie Kennedy and Bunny Mellon. Wave earrings and necklace in white and yellow gold, set with an enchanting array of blue and green cuprian elbaite tourmalines. Courtesy of Tiffany & Co. Tiffany & Co.'s spring chapter of Sea of Wonder closes on the theme of Waves. Imagine the ever-changing forms of moving water, and the ways that light can play with colours and reflections. That will explain, then, the incredible range of cuprian elbaite tourmalines—and a Paraíba tourmaline on a cocktail ring—set into this suite of jewels that gives it an entrancing lagoon colour. The movements of water, meanwhile, are achieved with graphic rows of diamonds that curve their own way, rather like a wave that has broken and made a splash. Vogue Singapore's June 2025 'Gold' issue is available on newsstands and online.

Tiffany & Co. and artist Daniel Arsham unveil their latest creative partnership
Tiffany & Co. and New York-based contemporary artist Daniel Arsham continue their groundbreaking artistic partnership with the unveiling of the Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel and limited-edition Tiffany & Arsham Studio HardWear necklace. An avant-garde showcase of fine art and fine jewelry, the limited-edition series consists of 39 handcrafted sculptures, each meticulously finished at Arsham Studio in New York City. Within each patinated bronze vessel lies an unexpected iteration of a Tiffany & Co. icon: the limited-edition Tiffany & Arsham Studio HardWear necklace. Exquisitely crafted in 18k white gold and set with over 1,000 diamonds totaling more than 6 carats, and over 500 tsavorites weighing more than 3 carats, the necklace is a bold reimagination of one of the House's most coveted creations. Tiffany & Co. and Arsham first joined forces in 2021, united by their shared passion for innovation, craftsmanship, and creative disruption. The new collaboration reimagines the penny into a powerful symbol of luxury and timeless artistry. Inspired by Tiffany's 1885 redesign of the Great Seal of the United States of America and Arsham's own Study of the Eroded Penny (2013), the Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel, cast in patinated bronze with polished crystal accents, showcases the artist's signature 'future relic' aesthetic. 'This collaboration has allowed me to push my 'future relics' concept even further, transforming an iconic symbol into something completely new. I'm incredibly grateful to Tiffany & Co. for embracing this vision,' says Daniel Arsham. Inside the vessel is the exclusive Tiffany & Arsham Studio HardWear necklace adorned with vibrant green tsavorites that pay homage to Arsham Studio's signature colour. Each Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel is presented in a custom Tiffany Blue art-handling crate with metal hardware, while a distinctive Tiffany Blue Box contains dual-branded white gloves for careful handling. – For more on how to look smart and live smarter, follow Emirates Man on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied
