Since debuting its first high jewellery collection in 2008, Louis Vuitton has steadily transformed its presence in the world of haute joaillerie. With Virtuosity, the Parisian maison reaches a new pinnacle—an ambitious, 110-piece masterpiece spread across twelve themes that unite technical perfection, storytelling, and emotion. This is not simply a jewellery collection, but a powerful exploration of form and symbolism through gemstone artistry and Louis Vuitton’s unmistakable design language. Divided into two worlds—Mastery and Creativity—Virtuosity takes us on a voyage through protection, heritage, transformation, and joy. As always, the house’s design cues, from its signature trunks to its emblematic Monogram Flower, reappear in bold and inventive forms. What results is high jewellery as a narrative, one that honours tradition while pushing into thrilling new territory.

Bvlgari’s latest high jewellery triumph, Polychroma, is nothing short of a kaleidoscopic revolution. The 250-piece collection ignites the imagination through a spellbinding interplay of shape, light, and colour, bringing together a vivid array of gemstones and daring design choices. Rooted in the legacy of Roman splendour but extending far beyond traditional boundaries, Polychroma explores the emotional power of colour and the architectural soul of jewellery as an expressive art form. Inspired by the ancient Greek words poly (many) and chroma (colour), Polychroma lives up to its name with unapologetic brilliance. From the cosmic domes of Rome to the mosaics of ancient Palestine, the collection draws on a rich cultural tapestry, illuminating the connection between colour, history, and identity in every jewel.

The latest evolution of Tudor’s beloved 37mm dive watch adds a sun-washed dial, a refined bracelet, and vintage charm for modern wrists. Tudor has once again struck gold — or perhaps seafoam — with the launch of the Black Bay 54 “Lagoon Blue”, a serene-toned twist on the vintage-inspired diver that already captured enthusiasts’ hearts in 2023. Retaining the same compact 37mm case and high-performance movement as its predecessor, this new iteration brings a splash of fresh personality in the form of a shimmering light blue dial and a polished bezel that feels distinctly summer-ready. First introduced as a nod to Tudor’s original dive watch, the reference 7922 from 1954, the Black Bay 54 redefined modern proportions by scaling down its robust heritage to something more wearable and unisex. Now, with the “Lagoon Blue” release, the Swiss brand continues its journey to redefine tool watches for a broader audience — one wrist, and one shade, at a time.

Even when oceans apart, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are proving that distance makes the heart—and the wallet—grow fonder. While the couple’s busy careers have kept them physically separated, Kelce has reportedly gone all out to remind Swift she’s never far from his thoughts, gifting her a jaw-dropping $80,000 haute couture summer wardrobe.

Designer Sara Martinsen has redefined what it means to live close to nature. In a world obsessed with innovation and global sourcing, her new guest pavilion near Copenhagen invites visitors to sleep, breathe, and experience architecture that is entirely, unapologetically local. Built from native Danish plants and fibres, the structure not only explores the limits of sustainable design—it celebrates them.

Building a family home is never simple—but when the land itself is steep and irregular, it demands vision, patience, and a bold partnership with nature. For homeowner Wang Yi Shi and her family of five, that journey led to an elegant and serene sanctuary nestled in the hills of Singapore, where architectural ingenuity meets tropical tranquillity.

A groundbreaking architectural marvel has emerged in the Swiss Alps: Tor Alva, a 30-metre-high tower crafted from 3D-printed concrete, recently unveiled in the tiny village of Mulegns. More than just a striking structure, Tor Alva is a symbol of innovation, culture, and sustainability, aimed at revitalising a village that today counts just 11 residents.
