One to watch

Combining fine art, expert craftsmanship and exceptional mechanics, Vacheron Constantin’s Les Cabinotiers Westminster Sonnerie – Tribute to Johannes Vermeer pocket watch is nothing short of a horological masterpiece. First developed in 2013, the bespoke creation is powered by the new 806-part manual-winding Calibre 3761, regulated by a tourbillon and comprising Grande and Petite Sonnerie Westminster chimes, coupled with a minute repeater. Other unique features include a meticulously engraved case and a miniature enamel painting of Girl with a Pearl Earring.

Lip service

François Nars’ mission has always been to empower women to experiment and have fun with make-up by teaching them how to enhance their natural beauty and individual characteristics. Now they have even more ways to do just that thanks to the newly launched Air Matte Lip Colour, a weightless blend of silky polymers and micropowders with a creamy and comfortable finish. The buildable and blendable formula comes in six of Nars’ most iconic shades from Surrender (taupe nude) and Morocco (warm cinnamon) to Dragon Girl (vivid red).
