LA NOCHE MÁS LARGA DE PIAGET

La hora: el sol acaba de ponerse, y con el anochecer llega la promesa de una noche llena de aventuras, luces brillantes y noctámbulos espectaculares, que eligen sus atuendos más destacados para hacer que esta noche cuente. El lugar: un lugar cálido, un lugar vibrante, un lugar especial. Un lugar que hace que la noche rime con sorpresa, alegría y extravagancia.

El solsticio anuncia un momento de celebración. La noche más larga del año es una promesa de horas suspendidas en las que el tiempo vuela y la felicidad brilla. Los colores brillan más, las sonrisas parecen más amplias y el brillo del oro y las piedras preciosas brilla un poco más vívidamente. La noche apenas comienza, y será nuestra. Lo nuestro para vivir plenamente, lo nuestro para celebrar.

Perfectamente apta para una celebración del solsticio, la colección Piaget Solstice representa la combinación perfecta de dos de los principios fundamentales de la Maison: excelencia y creatividad. En los “Ateliers de l’Extraordinaire”, la maestría se encuentra con la belleza pura, la audacia y la artesanía se convierten en compañeros. Al igual que la multitud de la Sociedad Piaget, Solstice es sofisticado, chic y espectacular. Maestría aplicada a la explosión de creatividad.

Inspirados en los atuendos de Alta Costura, el diseño fluido de los conjuntos Voluptuous Ribbon y Generous Laces replican la delicada asimetría de las glamurosas cintas de tela. El collar articulado Precious Adornment combina con el movimiento y la adaptabilidad de un precioso vestido…

La excelencia no es nada sin alegría. Las deslumbrantes plumas del reloj Extravagant Touch se convierten en aretes, ¡el motivo central del collar Flamboyant Nightfall se puede quitar y enganchar en una montura de anillo!

La colección Piaget Solstice, como todo lo que es Piaget, pone la calidad en primer plano. En combinación con la artesanía única de la Maison, la experiencia en joyería de Piaget ofrece piedras excepcionales en un entorno delicado, mostrando su belleza en piezas preciosas y alegres.

Desde los zafiros azules y rosados ​​de Sri Lanka y Madagascar hasta los ópalos negros australianos y las esmeraldas únicas de Zambia, todos irradian audacia y energía rebosante. En los “Ateliers de l’Extraordinaire”, nuestros artesanos moldean y esculpen oro para darle la flexibilidad de un tejido sedoso. Con sus diseños asimétricos y delicadas curvas, los conjuntos Voluptuous Ribbons y Generous Laces ofrecen una espléndida muestra de la maestría de Piaget. Cortado en 55 facetas, el corte marquesa personifica el resplandor que resplandece en toda la colección.

Tanto joyero como relojero, Piaget combina una vez más sus dos principales conocimientos en los excepcionales relojes de la colección Solstice. Un pináculo de la artesanía relojera, el movimiento de tourbillon volante del reloj Dazzling Swirl está adornado con un diseño que es otro guiño al giro de un vestido suntuoso.

Fiel a su tradición y ansiosa por explorar nuevos territorios, la Maison Piaget una vez más traspasa los límites de la artesanía y la creatividad. ¡Prepárate para una velada vertiginosa de libertad y extravagancia! La noche apenas comienza…

PIAGET’S LONGEST NIGHT

The time: the sun has just set, and with dusk comes the promise of a night full of adventures, bright lights and spectacular night owls, who pick their most remarkable outfits to make this one night count. The place: somewhere warm, somewhere vibrant, somewhere special. A place that makes nighttime rhyme with surprise, joy, and extravaganza.

Solstice announces a moment of celebration. The longest night of the year is a promise of suspended hours during which time flies, and happiness sparkles. Colours shine brighter, smiles appear wider, and the glow of gold and precious stones sparkles just a little more vividly. The night is only beginning, and it will be ours. Ours to live fully, ours to celebrate.

Harmoniously fit for a solstice celebration, the Piaget Solstice collection represents the perfect blend of two of the Maison’s founding principles: excellence and creativity. In the “Ateliers de l’Extraordinaire”, mastery meets pure beauty, audacity and craft become companions. Like the crowd of the Piaget Society, Solstice is sophisticated, chic and spectacular. Mastery applied to bursting creativity.

Inspired by Haute-Couture outfits, the fluid design of the Voluptuous Ribbon and Generous Laces sets replicate the delicate asymmetry of glamorous fabric ribbons. The articulated Precious Adornment necklace matches the movement and adaptability of a precious gown…

Excellence is nothing without playfulness. The Extravagant Touch watch’s dazzling feathers become earrings, the Flamboyant Nightfall necklace’s center motif can be removed and clipped on a ring mounting!

The Piaget Solstice collection, as everything that is Piaget, puts quality at the forefront. Combined with the Maison’s unique craftsmanship, Piaget’s jewellery expertise offers exceptional stones a delicate setting, displaying their beauty on precious and playful pieces.

From the blue and pink sapphires from Sri Lanka and Madagascar, to the Australian black opals and unique Zambian emeralds, all radiate boldness and brimming energy. In the “Ateliers de l’Extraordinaire”, our artisans shape and sculpt gold to give it the suppleness of a silky fabric. With their asymmetrical designs and delicate curves, the Voluptuous Ribbons and Generous Laces sets offer a splendid display of Piaget’s mastery. Cut into 55 facets, the marquise-cut epitomizes the radiance that shimmers throughout the collection.

Both jeweler and watchmaker, Piaget once again combines its two main savoir-faires in the Solstice collection’s exceptional watches. A pinnacle of watchmaking craft, the flying tourbillon movement of the Dazzling Swirl watch is adorned with a design that is another nod to the twirling of a sumptuous dress.

True to its tradition and eager to explore new territories, the Maison Piaget once again pushes the boundaries of craft and creativity. Get ready for a dizzying evening of freedom and extravagance! The night is only beginning…

When the Reverso was born in 1931, the feminine appeal of its elegant Art Deco lines became immediately apparent and new versions of the design were soon created, especially for women. Over the decades since then, Jaeger-LeCoultre has continued to explore the Reverso’s feminine side, uniting the codes of fine watchmaking with the decorative crafts.

As a canvas for artistic expression, the double-sided case of the Reverso is unique in watchmaking, providing an opportunity for the artisans of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Atelier des Métiers Rares® (Rare Handcrafts™ workshop) to unleash their skills in the decorative arts.

For the Reverso One Cordonnet Jewellery, La Grande Maison unites the talents of its gem-setters with its mastery of watchmaking complications, bringing a new and exuberantly feminine expression of glamour to the Reverso collection.

Jaeger-LeCoultre featured the cordonnet bracelet (the word means ‘fine braid’) on several women’s watches during the 1930s. This simple black cord – the ‘little black dress’ of watch bracelets – epitomised the refined elegance of the Art Deco period, and perhaps never more so than when paired with the Reverso for the first time, in 1933.

For 2021, the Reverso One Cordonnet Jewellery reinterprets this exquisite pairing in radiant style, transforming the simple cord bracelet into a supple braid of gold and diamonds and uniting it with a fully diamond-set Duetto case.

Designed especially for women, the double-sided Duetto offers two dials, each with a different expression of the time. The ingenuity of the movement – the manually-wound Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 844 – lies in its ability to turn the hands simultaneously in opposite directions on each dial.

The front dial of the Reverso One Cordonnet Jewellery is constructed of multiple layers: fine golden Arabic numerals are applied to a white mother-of-pearl base and framed by diamond-set brackets; in the centre, framed by a fine filet of gold, a geometric cut-out reveals a glittering field of pavé-set diamonds. The reverse-side dial offers a rich contrast: set onto a background of onyx, diamond-set golden ‘sunbeams’ radiate out from the centre to form the hour markers.

The entire case and bracelet attachment, the bracelet itself and both dials are fully set with diamonds, while the winding crown is adorned with a reverse-set diamond. (1,104 diamonds for a total of 7.84 carats). For the case, Jaeger-LeCoultre chose the grain-setting technique, whereby the diamonds are held in place by beads of gold so tiny that they are almost invisible, keeping the stones very close together, so that the watch case appears to be encrusted in a solid mass of diamonds.

Conceived as an ode to 21st-Century femininity, the new Reverso One Cordonnet Jewellery attests to the horological savoir-faire, artistic craftsmanship and jewellery-making skills of La Grande Maison, while paying homage to the women who inspire Jaeger-LeCoultre every day.

CHOPARD

Red Carpet Collection

A jewellery ‘Paradise’

It is a uniquely magical moment, the most glamorous event of the year. For the Cannes Festival, which Chopard has been officially partnering since 1998, the Maison’s workshops annually rise to a new pinnacle of creativity by reinventing the miracle of the Red Carpet Collection.

A stunning demonstration of jewellery-making prowess lighting up a lifelong passion for the cinema and paying tribute to the actresses who embody its radiant energy during the legendary ascent of the staircase. With the opening of the Cannes Festival on 6 July 2021, Chopard’s Co-President and Artistic Director, Caroline Scheufele, is unveiling all 74 creations composing this collection, themed around a fabulous haven of fantasy. Paradise expresses all the dreamy richness of which Caroline Scheufele is capable, flinging wide open the doors to the palaces of the imagination.

Theatre of dreams

Each piece of jewellery stems from an emotion, each culminating from an idea in a creation. Then comes the sketch, the mosaic of precious stones, colours like destinations, and a wild desire to share. For the opening of the Cannes Festival  (6 to 17 July) , Caroline Scheufele is unveiling the traditional Red Carpet Collection.. A creative universe whose texture and density unfold in the dazzling landscape of her imagination. Like a director, this keen film-lover orchestrates each of her collections around a real narrative, a master canvas within which her creations come to life and give substance to her vision.

Paradise, a haven of marvels

The Paradise-themed Red Carpet Collection 2021 takes us into a universe dear to the Maison: that of unspoilt, generous and sublime nature. A dreamlike and fertile place, permanently accessible to everyone, free to imagine its contours and to go there to recharge their batteries as they please. A ‘Paradise’ to be found within oneself, according to one’s imagination and desires. A realm of all possibilities.

When instilling a baroque, fanciful spirit into the Collection, Caroline Scheufele drew inspiration from the lush nature of the mythological or real places populating her fantasy repertoire. A bountiful Garden of Eden, where precious stones are picked like berries, where plants and an

imals offer their songs and spectacular colours; a secret landmark, like the island of Pantelleria, where the telluric depth of the volcanic rocks is reflected in the crystalline transparency of the waters where Caroline Scheufele loves to immerse her gaze; or a supernatural, vision of nature resembling that of the fantasy film Avatar, a metaphorical space in which to find refuge, to escape the hostility of reality and to find a new lease on life.

Among the countless references enlivening Caroline Scheufele’s majestic world, the Artistic Director has brilliantly enlisted a whole range of creative resources. She explained: “The Red Carpet Collection always gives me the opportunity to give free rein to my creativity and this year I was inspired by the idea of Paradise: I wanted our creations to invite women on a journey towards a comforting haven, an imaginary world brimming with dreams and optimism.” She continued: “There are various ways of envisaging one’s personal Paradise and I have tried to give life to these multiple worlds within the Red Carpet Collection through creations honouring fauna, flora and the finest gemstones, as well as by designing jewellery that is part of the fantasy of movies.”

“The Red Carpet Collection is a jewellery masterpiece made possible by the skill of all the artisans who pool their talents in our Haute Joaillerie ateliers. Each of these creations is a work of art in itself.

Chopard, sculptor of wonders

Among the Chopard Haute Joaillerie collections, Red Carpet is the one that embodies the ultimate dazzlement, nourished by Caroline Scheufele’s curious and lively view of the world. This collection also highlights the extraordinary work of the Artisans who exercise their skills in Chopard’s Haute Joaillerie’s Geneva workshops, the largest in Switzerland. From design to volume, from goldsmithing to gemsetting craftsmanship, these Artisans combine their talents in giving life to this collection of 74 creations corresponding to the number of years since the Cannes Festival first began.

Each year, the challenge of creating a collection of this magnitude in the same workshop is taken up by the Artisans, who apply their own genius and expertise to each creation. In this respect, the Red Carpet Collection symbolises the quintessence of classic jewellery-making expertise and carefully preserved tradition, nurtured by a fresh eye and a genuine avant-garde spirit. It is in this commitment of heart and mind, expressed through the nobility of hand craftsmanship, that the emotion of this new collection unfolds, impelled by the fertile spirit of fabulous odysseys.

A symbol of the divine and eternal power of Napoleon I, the gold bee adorned the attire and decorated the apartments of the Imperial couple.
