Saturday, November 28th, 2009

Jaeger-LeCoultre Joaillerie 101 Feuille

In celebration of the 80th anniversary of Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 101 for still being the record holder of the smallest mechanism movement watches in the world, the five-item 101 collection is unveiled. The Joaillerie 101 Feuille modeling is one of the products included in the said batch.

The watch is designed after a plant motif. Its wrist bracelet is totally covered in 11.3 carat diamonds that rests like a leaf on the whole exterior of the watch. This style looks more like an extravagant bracelet with a surprising small clock encased in 18-carat white gold.

Here are some more features of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 101:

* Movement: Hand-winding
* Pieces number: 98
* Vibrations per hour : 21600
* Power-reserve : 33 Hours
* Jewels : 19
* Barrel : 1
* Height : 3.40 mm
* Functions: Hour – Minute
* Case: White Gold 18 carats
* Dial: White
* Hands: Feuille
* Gem Setting: Diamond : ~179  ~11.3 carats
* Strap/ Bracelet: White gold

In looking for the uniquely perfect watch, I think Jaeger-LeCoultre has everything that you need. If you are willing to spend huge amount of money, I suggest you spend it wisely in buying the Jaeger-LeCoultre  Joaillerie 101 Feuille. It will soon be offered on retail and online.

Lanvin Straw Hat Perfect For A Summer Getup

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

Lanvin Straw Hat

Lanvin has just unveiled one of its hottest Spring/Summer collections for 2010. One item that caught my attention in this batch is the straw hat for men. This is the perfect number to look street smart but not at all geeky or old. Most of the items in the collection are designed by Lucas Ossendrijver and Alber Elbaz.

The fedora-style straw hat is made of straw-like material that has a vintage appeal. The brim of the hat is surrounded with a thick black ribbon while the visor portion can be tilted if you need more sun on your face. I think that the design is perfect either for a vacation getaway or a raging party.

You can purchase it for $359.23 online, but there’s no word though on how much it would cost on retail.
