JÖRG G. BUCHERER

T

he year is drawing to a close. For us, it was a year of many mile­stones that we were overjoyed to reach. One of these milestones was the open­ing of our Rolex boutique in Zermatt, sealing our part­ner­ship with the brand, which has been a cornerstone of our business since the 1920s. We therefore want to use this issue as an opportunity to whisk you away to Zermatt and show you the most enchanting parts of the mountain land­ scape there. This year we also put two very special Bucherer Fine Jewellery col­lec­tions from our in-house atelier in the spotlight: the new and unique jew­el­ lery col­lec­tion Peekaboo, and the Lacrima collection, which has just celebrated its 10th an­ni­ver­sa­r y. Another highlight of this year was our purchase of the British luxury watch retailer The Watch Gallery, which will be known as Bucherer UK from now on, thus establishing Bucherer as an even stronger brand on the in­ter­ na­tion­al market. In this issue, we also want to introduce you to elegant time­ piec­es that make the perfect accessory both on and off the slopes – luxury jew­el­lery pieces that incorporate the finest and rarest gemstones, crafted by us with pas­sion in Lucerne. In addition, we will give you a glimpse of our watch atelier, where our expert watchmakers also service watches made by some of the world’s most pres­tig­ious brands, and we will introduce you to Alexandre Peraldi, Director of the Baume & Mercier Design Studio. A master of his trade, he has designed a spe­cial watch for our Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS line, which has already become leg­end­ary. Since the company was founded in 1888, we have kept on moving for­ward, and our promise to you for the future is that we will continue to do so, never standing still.

ZERMATT. — Zermatt, the little town at the foot of the Matterhorn, is situated on the Swiss border with Italy. In Zermatt it appears that all is well in the world: cute black-faced sheep, marmots and squirrels. But Zermatt would not be Zermatt if that were all there was to it.

TEXT: SABRINA KAISER-KOSSMAYR

Even if the Matterhorn is not the highest mountain in Switzerland, it is certainly one of the most impressive and most photographed mountains in the world. It exudes a sense of magic, from which hardly anyone can escape. Yes, it is the mountain of all mountains – the epitome of a classic mountain. It has become the Swiss national symbol with its distinctive 4 478-metre-high summit.

However, the best view of the Matterhorn can be enjoyed looking from the bottom towards the top, from the centre of Zermatt. Almost a third of all mountains over 4 000 metres in the Alps are grouped around the town, which has 5 500 in­habi­ tants. It is hard to believe that Zermatt was nothing more than a mountain village only 150 years ago.

Today it is a hiking paradise in summer and in winter, an El Dorado for skiing.

Zermatt may focus on an affluent clientele, but its style is not as pretentious as for example in

St. Moritz: it has more of a sporty ambience. This is also linked to the local tradition of tourism.

It began with the first ascent of the Matterhorn by the Englishman Edward Whymper in 1865.

This sensation and the mountain village, which had been in a deep sleep until then, made the headlines. Today there are up to 140 people ascending the Matterhorn on some days.

If you prefer to keep your feet on the ground and not climb around at high altitude, you may want to relish some culinary delicacies, because Zermatt is heaven on earth for gourmets. The local restaurants boast 254 Gault Millau points.

Zermatt is also a veritable shopping paradise.

You will be amazed by the selection on offer if you stroll along Bahnhofstrasse.

We have compiled 14 addresses for you to make a visit to Zermatt simply unforgettable. True to the saying: Zermatt: small, but impressive!

PERFECT TIMING

FROM ALPINE HERDSMAN TO LIFESAVER. Bruno Jelk

— Bruno Jelk is the most famous mountain rescue responder in­the­Alps.­In­almost­35­years­he­has­not­only­saved­the­lives­ of thousands of people as the head of rescue for Zermatt, but has also revolutionised the rescue services. His inventions and developments of devices have become standard rescue equipment worldwide. Bruno Jelk helps where he is needed: as an avalanche expert in Sochi or a trainer in Nepal.

TEXT: SABRINA K AISER- KOSSMAYR

Your passion is mountain rescue.

How long have you been saving lives?

And what appeals to you most?

I have been an active mountain rescuer since­I­was­a­boy.­From­1980­until­2014­ I was the head of rescue for Zermatt.

I also supervise a number of training programmes abroad such as air rescue in Nepal. In short, mountain res cue has simply been my life for the past­ 35­ years.­ And­ today­ I­ am­ still­ in the mountains every day. In winter I often accompany ski teachers and mountain guides; in summer I go on mountain tours. I couldn’t live in the city. I can’t imagine a life without the mountains.

TISSOT, T-Touch Expert Solar,

red, titanium/PVD coating, 45 mm,­solar­quartz­movement­ with touch technology, com pass, altimeter, weather fore cast­mul­ti­func­tion,­€­940.–

How many mountain rescue as­ sign­ments have you taken part in?

I’ve lost count. Air Zermatt alone has – in­clud­ing ski accidents – ap­proxi­ mate­ly 1 700 assignments each year.

Tourism, alpinism and mountain rescue have changed drastically over the years. What has changed in par­ ticu­lar about mountain rescue?

We used to have only the normal moun­­tain­­eers here in Zermatt. New types of sport such as paragliding, ex­treme climbing and freeriding give rise to different and many more ac­ci­ dents. Mountain rescue has to be pre­ pared for these problems, which are predominantly in the technical sector.

So the right equipment is es­pe­ cial­ly important in mountain rescue.

What do you always have with you?

My Tissot watch. The altimeter, stop watch and barometer are of par­ticu­ lar importance. In the mountains it is crucial to be able to read the altitude at all times, especially when on foot.

If you have this type of watch, you don’t need any more special devices, as you have all the important func­ tions on your wrist. This simplifies my work enor­mous­ly. It is important that I can also use it in bad weather con­di­ tions. The altimeter and compass are par­ticu­lar­ly important to be able to locate your position and work out in which direction you should be going.

Christine Julen and Bruno Jelk at Bucherer Zermatt.

Has this been an incentive for new inventions from Jelk?

Yes. When a problem arises more than twice, I realise that a change has to be made in the technology or methods. That’s why we have al­ways adapted the rescue services. I con­se­ quent­ly became an inventor and cre­ a­tor to be able to carry out rescue op­er­a­tions safely and efficiently. For ex­ am­ple, the development of the tri­pod is one of my inventions.

So the technical equipment is ex­ treme­ ly important, but what skills should a mountain rescuer have?

A lot of expertise. And of course you have to be able to climb well. A moun­ tain rescuer has to know the moun­ tains. Excellent knowledge of the area is a must when searching for missing persons. A mountain rescuer also has to be able to analyse well and to com­pre­hend the casualty’s sit­u­a­tion. This en­ sures that the casualty is found quick­er and can receive op­ti­mal care.

The Tissot T-Touch Expert Solar is the first solar-powered touchscreen watch. It boasts a permanent analogue display and different digital displays. The following functions are also available by simply touching the watch screen: Weather, altimeter, chronograph, compass, alarm and countdown. Another feature of the watch is the bezel with compass that you can see even in the dark.

In addition to the technical enhancements, the design of the Tissot T-Touch Expert Solar is highly distinctive. Adventurers will ap­preci­ate the additional extras such as the extendable leather Velcro strap, which can even be worn over climbing gear.

SCISSORS. CUT. PAPER. — Paper cutting has been her passion for over twenty years.

Esther Gerber does not need anything more than a pen, scissors and paper. As a result of years of practice, she has developed her own personal style of presenting trees, people and watch movements as silhouettes in landscapes. Her delicate, wonderful masterpieces were on display in all Bucherer sales points this year, thanks to a unique collaboration.

A watch­mak­er needs an ex­treme­ly steady hand and a great deal of sensitivity to assemble all the cogs in a watch.

Both types of work require a high level of concentration.

We met Esther Gerber at her atelier in Rohrbach to exchange views on tradition, arts and crafts and attention to detail.

Ms Gerber, how did you discover this rather unusual hobby?

I have always loved being creative.

I am particularly fond of drawing.

26 years ago I attended a rural women’s paper cutting course. I was hooked immediately. Paper cutting al­ways begins with a drawing, so I was able to indulge my passion and then create something from that draw­ ing. Each drawing is extremely per­ son­al and gives every paper cutter their own per­son­al signature.

What is the most important factor in paper cutting?

Cutting is a craft, which requires prac­ tice, practice. The more one practises, the more filigree the piece. Good draw­ing skills are also important. This is the only way to develop one’s own motifs. Every paper cutter should find their own pictures and imagery. Cop­y­ ing others was never something I did.

How long did it take until you found your own style?

I always had my own personal draw­ ing style, but I did refine it through the years. Paper cutters can im­me­di­ate­ly match the work of a paper cutter to the artist. My pieces have often been described as delightful, mainly be­ cause of my figures.

Where do you get the ideas for your motifs?

My main inspiration is nature. Trees are my speciality. I generally make trees without leaves, so the structure of the trees can be seen. Struc­tures

are hugely significant in paper cut­ting to express a concept. I draw al­ most everything from memory. How­ ev­er, when I draw mountains I have to draw from a template. I cannot cut a pan­o­ra­ma of the Alps that is in­cor­ rect. Most of the other motifs emerge while drawing. One idea simply gives way to more and more ideas. A love of my homeland is one of my main in­ spi­ra­tions.

How long do you take for one pa­per cutting?

I need roughly three to six hours for a small picture. For a larger subject,

it can take well over one hundred hours from the initial sketch until the paper cutting has been framed. The finer the cut, the longer the piece will take.

What has been your largest pro­ ject to date?

The largest paper cutting that I have com­plet­ed was 2.5 metres wide and 50 centimetres high. It was a paper cut­ting of the Alps and traditions in Berne.

How expensive is a paper cutting?

Can the amount of hours invested be ex­pressed in money terms?

That depends on the size of the piece. But I do not see paper cutting as work. I love what I do and it is still my hobby, my great passion.

How many pairs of scissors do you own?

I have one pair of scissors. Unlike many paper cutters, I work with only one pair of scissors. I feel free

with that pair. I can work in the garden in my deckchair. I do use a very spe­ cial pair of scissors that was custommade for me, called Gerber scis­sors.

I was not completely sat­is­fied with con­ ven­ tional scissors, so I had a pair of scissors made for my spe­cif­ic needs by Klötzli bladesmiths.

You have been working with Bucherer for some time. How did that come about?

When Bucherer asked me to work with them I was faced with a sub­stan­tial chal­lenge. I did not know how I should present their jewellery. Paper cut­ting does not sparkle, it is not golden. It was not easy to integrate the art of watch­mak­ing. Fortunately, I found a beau­­ti­­ful and fitting way of pre­sent­ing all the com­po­nents in close collabora­ tion with Bucherer. In this way, the art of tra­­di­­tion­­al paper cutting fused with the high art of watch­ mak­ ing.

I am ex­treme­ly happy with the result.

Can the art of paper cutting be com­pared to the art of watchmaking?

Yes, definitely because of the finesse of the work. A watch­mak­er needs an ex­treme­ly steady hand and a great deal of sensitivity to assemble all the cogs in a watch. Both types of work require a high level of concentration.

That is why Bucherer and “Ms Gerber” are such a great match. (laughs).

Thank you for your time!

Precision is the most important skill that I have to demonstrate – I think that the watchmakers from Bucherer know what I’m talking about.

ROYAL SPLENDOUR. — The peacock can frequently be found throughout history as a symbolic bird of power and beauty, as an adornment for powerful monarchs.

TEXT: SABRINA K AISER- KOSSMAYR – ILLUSTRATIONS: JESSICA DURRANT

As an emblem for many kings, emperors and pharaohs, the peacock embellishes many a painting and a number of history books. The peacock’s striking appearance inspired the Bucherer design-

ers to design this exceptional rose-cut creation, which is celebrating its revival this year. This set, made up of necklace, ring and earrings, shines with royal splendour.

SPEEDY AND ELEGANT. — The story of Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS continues. A special edition of the sporty Clifton Club Shelby Cobra from Baume & Mercier is writing a new chapter. Alexandre Peraldi and Marie Chassot, head designer and marketing director for the 187-year-old watch manufacturer tell us about the creation process.

TEXT: MARIANNE ESCHBACH – PHOTOS: THOMAS EGLI

How did the partnership between Bucherer and Baume & Mercier come about?

Marie Chassot: Bucherer and Baume & Mercier have had an excellent re­la­tion­ship for many years. We were one of the first watch manufacturers after Rolex in the 20s to work together with Bucherer. It was therefore only natural that Baume & Mercier would also play a part in the Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS family.

Alexandre Peraldi

Limited Edition Baume & Mercier Clifton Club Shelby Cobra for Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS, 44 mm, mechanical mechanism with automatic winding (Valjoux 7750) and chronograph, tachymeter and date display, stainless steel casing, sapphire glass base, sun satin-finished blue dial, calfskin strap, € 4 300.–

Alexandre Peraldi: The groundwork had already been established through the existing partnership between Baume & Mercier and the sports car brand Shelby. We presented a special edition of our Clifton Club Shelby Cobra watch in blue and white at the SIHH watch salon in Geneva in January 2017. This model is a homage to the legendary Amer­­ i­ can racing car. The unusual col­our combination did not escape Bucherer’s attention. It made them real­ise that we would also fit perfectly into their blue collection. We had al­ ready had a few meetings with

Bucherer a while before, but this model at the Geneva watch salon ignited and enriched the discussions.

Which values are common to Baume & Mercier and Bucherer?

MC: Without doubt and quite ob­vi­ous­ly the love of watches, of watch­mak­ing and of good design. And the cul­ti­va­ tion of a relationship to end con­sum­ers.

AP: We are similar in our aesthetic stand­­ards. We have the same taste.

Both companies love beau­ti­ful­ly de­ vel­ oped products and crafts­ man­ ship. We share the same opinion on watchmaking details and quickly found a common approach together.

How do you explain the success of the colour blue?

AP: In watchmaking, trends manifest them­selves like swells in the ocean, rather than wave movements. It is often a matter of colour com­bi­na­tions and coloured straps. For example, the customers love green in the display cab­i­net, but they don’t buy it. In the

last while, tastes have changed some­ what. All brands are returning to the solid basis. This is, generally speaking, black and white. However, black is also somewhat dreary and not always ap­pro­pri­ate. Blue is in the middle of the spectrum and it works really well.

It is a challenge for designers be­ cause it is not a simple colour on a tech­ni­cal level for galvanism or PVD coatings. If you manage to achieve a top result with blue, you can be very happy. Today we say, blue is the new black. It is the punk version of black.

At the moment it is just as successful as black before it.

What is new in the Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS Shelby Cobra?

AP: Bucherer liked the blue a lot, so we left it. We simplified the dial by omit­ting the Shelby Cobra codes. It is simply a more discreet model. The small dials are colour-coordinated.

TIME & DATE

TIMEPIECE GALLERY

And we worked in depth on the strap because it gives the watch its char­ ac­ter. It looks like carbon but is black calfskin. We lined and stitched it in blue. The lining extends over the edge to provide extra protection. There were only 100 models made, each marked on the watch base with an engraving (“1 out of 100”).

Why only blue details and not a completely blue strap?

MC: Coloured straps get worn out rel­ a­­ tive­ ly quickly due to light and wear. The solution with the carbon finish in black looks beautiful. The blue seam and the blue lining give a sophisticated touch. It can only be seen when you look at the watch from the side or when you turn the watch. The blue shades on the dial and the strap are also different. But they com­ple­ment each other per­fect­ly all the same. This colour dif­fer­ence brings the design to life.

Which mechanism is in the watch?

And which technical chal­leng­es did you have to overcome?

MC: The model works on a tried-andtested chronograph movement. The rotor in the Shelby Cobra was in­ spired by the spokes of the sports car.

In the edition for Bucherer, it is man­u ­ fac­tured in titanium and is intended to be reminiscent of the lightweight con­struc­tion of the aluminium car. This marks the exclusivity of this partnership.

AP: The rotor is technologically ad­ vanced. Generally it gets its mo­men­ tum from the asymmetric construction.

It was a challenge to achieve the right momentum with this type of rotor disc.

Our version turns due to the varying thick­ness of the oscillating weight. It is thinner at the centre and thicker at the periphery. But this is not visible.

69 If the Baume & Mercier “Clifton Club Shelby Cobra” is a sports car, is the Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS version then a sporty limousine?

AP: Let’s say it’s a very racy sports car with enough elegance to be driven along the boulevards in the city.

What are your expectations of the joint project?

MC: Being part of Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS represents for us a rec­og­ ni­tion of the collaboration with this tra­di­tion­al company, which has been in place for a long period of time.

We are extremely proud to be part of

Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS. We consider it a success when our beautiful and suc­cess­ful watch, which underlines the connection between Baume & Mercier and Shelby, also becomes a com­mer­ cial success at Bucherer.

blue or turquoise... Marie and this project for Bucherer have awakened my interest in blue. It is easy and simple to wear. It is easy to combine.

Blue can be both very relaxing and extremely elegant.

And finally: as a designer with what do you associate the colour blue?

AP: Universality. Sometimes I even ex­ clu­sive­ly wear blue. Up to a few years ago I never wore blue at all. I didn’t feel right in blue clothes and didn’t have anything blue. Today I find blue an extremely beautiful colour. There are so many wonderful shades of blue. Prussian blue, lapis lazuli, cobalt

They value the Manero Flyback as a stylish companion and ambassador for the city of Lucerne, the home of watch manufacturer Carl F. Bucherer.

This nos­­tal­­gic and at the same time cutting-edge chron­­o­­graph provides the perfect companion on the wrist of sophisticated fashion-conscious indi­ viduals, wherever they go. In addition to the two premiere models with their silver-coloured dial, availa­ble in stainless steel or rose gold, three expres­sive variations joined the line in 2017. The version with steel cas­ing has the distinguishing feature of a dial that changes colour from grey to dark blue depending on light penetration. The rose gold “Manero Flyback” with a jet black dial holds an almost magical fascination. The other rose gold chron­­o­­graph presents itself as a particu­larly strik­ing ambassador for the Baroque city of Lucerne and the Carl F. Bucherer company, with a cham­ pagne-coloured dial in varying shades. Re­gard­-

less of which design you choose, there is plenty to discover on all the dials. At the outer edge, there is a tachymeter dial. If you are travelling to Lucerne by car, you can use it to time the average speed over one kilometre. Another feature is its fas­ci­nat­ing three-dimensionality, produced by applied in­dices, an easily read calendar display, and low­ered dials for the permanent second at 9 o’clock and the pendant for the 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock.

By the way: The lovingly decorated CFB 1970 automatic cal­i­bre inside the elegant but sporty casing is a hor­o­log­ i­cal delight: in addition to a classic ratchet wheel for measuring short intervals, the ticking oeuvre has a flyback function, which enables the user to record consecutive time intervals. In other words: to stop, return to the zero position and im­me­di­ate­ly re­start the timer, you only need to activate the rest button at 4 o’clock once, whereas in conventional chron­o­graphs the button has to be activated three times. And veritable lovers of aesthetics will be delighted with the watch back: the transparent back cover of the Manero Flyback 43 mm casing allows you to admire the finest of mechanisms.

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

AN ICON TURNS 60.

— The most elegant watch of all time is turning 60.

The occasion for Piaget to celebrate the ultra-thin Altiplano with a limited anniversary collection.

TEXT: SABRINA K AISER- KOSSMAYR

Adopted in the early 1960s by French Actor Alain Delon, we see it today on the wrist of Ryan Reynolds. The icon came to life in 1957, when Valentin Piaget revolutionised the watch in­ dus­try with the 9P ultra-thin manual winding move­ ment at, only 2 mm thick. Promoted in the 60s as the “watch for the international elite”, Piaget under­stood for decades how to readapt the watch to the tastes and style of its time. Fixed con­stants were purism, elegance and the highest level of horological refinement. The anniversary

col­lec­tion offers models in new and radiant colours, among them the 43 mm automatic model made of 18-carat white gold, bearing the his­tor­ic­ al “Piaget Automatique” lettering, which adorned the very first watch dials from the brand. Equipped with an ex­cep­tion calibre 1203P, it marks time at just 3 mm in height. The sapphire glass base offers an uninterrupted view of the mag­nif­i­cent re­fine­ ment of the clock mech­a­nism and the green sun guilloche dial enraptures the wearer with its elegant vintage effect coupled with a touch of mo­der­nity.

SERVICE FOR ALL REQUIREMENTS. — Only the best for your watch: “With our in-house, certified watchmaking workshop, we can guarantee excellent quality and fast processing.” Watchmaker Severin Ernst talks to The Bucherer Magazine.

TEXT: MARIANNE ESCHBACH – PHOTOS: BON WONGWANNAWAT

Mr Ernst, what is involved in a watch revision?

Does a revision guarantee stable value retention?

A revision is a complete overhaul of the watch. This involves completely dis­­man­­tling both the casing and the mech­a­nism. The casing is cleaned, pol­ished, satin-finished and all seals are re­placed. Following reassembly, the cas­ing is tested for water re­sist­ ance. All worn components in the mech­ a­ nism are replaced or pro­ cessed. Then it is cleaned, assembled, lu­bri­cat­ed, fine-tuned and tested for ac­cu­ra­cy. The final inspection takes at least four days.

Yes, of course. It is extremely im­por­ tant. Wear and tear of the com­po­ nents creates dirt, which forms a type of abra­sive paste with the oil. It has to be removed to prevent damage to the mechanism.

Do you repair all brands of watch or only the concession brands?

Severin Ernst, Watchmaker

Basically all brand-name watches can be brought to all Bucherer retail stores for repair. We are certified by different manufacturers to offer ser­ vice work. We send special calibres back to the manufacturer for revision and repair.

Which services do you offer around the clock?

In the retail stores we offer so-called quick services such as battery and strap change and minor partial re­ pairs. In the case of complete re­vi­ sions, larger repairs and special or­ders, we send the watches to our head office or return them to the man­u ­fac­tur­er. For old watches and watch­ es that are no longer repaired by the manufacturer, we offer everything inhouse as far as possible through to the production of work parts.

However, this type of service takes some time.

Seoul, New York and of course Lucerne are the energy centres for the new Bucherer Fine Jewellery col­ lec­ tion.

Paris is its spiritual cradle. De­sign­er Yunjo Lee has risen to the chal­lenge of designing sophisticated pieces in the traditional jewellery com­pa­ny for the modern woman who embraces life.

The colours are soft, which in no way de­tracts from their brilliance. Del­i­cate frames with white diamonds bring the radiance of the rose-coloured mor­ gan­ite, the sky-blue aquamarine and the pastel yellow and gold-coloured beryl to the fore. Flattering rose gold forms the vibrant connection between the skin and the sparkling gems. The Peekaboo collection does not need to shy away from the limelight as the name may suggest. On the contrary, the jewellery pieces are intended to be worn and seen on fingers, necks and earlobes of mod­ern women. Their

DESIGN & FINERY

FA SCINATING JEW ELLERY

relationship to jew­el­lery has changed considerably. An increasing number of women buy their jewellery them­ selves, to express their personality.

The rose gold ring with morganite is also perfect for a modern bride, ac­ cord­ing to jew­el­lery designer Yunjo Lee, who de­signed the precious gems in question for Bucherer. Queen Marie Antoinette was the spiritual inspiration for the designer. The native Korean, who lives and works in New York, is amused by the extent to which this controversial historic figure is con­ stant­ly being re­invent­ed by today’s gen­era­tions in art and fashion. This timelessness and mo­der­ni­ty make her the perfect in­spir­ation for Bucherer’s new jewellery col­lec­tion, claims the char­is­matic expert, who sports a strik­ ing ebony-coloured bob cut. Yunjo has a weakness for fashion con­scious­ness in Seoul, she loves New York as an

infinite source of in­spi­ra­tion and feels like she is in a dreamy fairy tale when in Lucerne. When asked about her passion for jew­el­lery, Yunjo Lee explains that the thing she loves most about her work is that she can design beautiful pieces all day. In the case of the “Peekaboo” project for Bucherer, the greatest chal­lenge was to develop a nuanced design with a strong identity. The designer remembers: “To find the perfect pro­ por ­tions and dimensions, dif­fer­ent es­ sary from amendments were nec­ the draft stage to the pro­to­types, so that the playful design fea­tures would become unmistakable. The teamwork was fantastic.” The unique feature of “Peekaboo” is the set­ ting for the gems: it only has three claws (grips), one of which is intentionally en­larged and studded with diamonds. This explains why the name hints at the playful design. The cen­tre­piece of the collection is a ring with a 12-carat morganite; the ring band and holder are set completely with dia­ monds.

When Yunjo Lee finally held the com­ pleted jewellery pieces in her hands after months of intensive work be­ tween New York and Lucerne, it was simply “Love at first sight!”

The jewellery pieces in the form of hearts and circles are special symbols of love and make the perfect present for the bride or for a wedding anniversary.

CLASSICS

— Maximum radiance.

The intensive, rich blue of a sapphire almost has a velvety structure, which the experts refer to as “sleepy”. After brown, yellow is the most common colour for diamonds. They became famous because of their size and their enchanting sparkle. All the ladies will certainly be green with envy if they cannot claim these colour gemstone rings for themselves.
