Chanel is not just known the world over for its fashion but also for its
jewellery, in particular the 1932 collection that will go on display at
a special exhibition
The ever-romantic Gabrielle (Coco) Chanel first presented her exquisite jewellery collection in 1932 and called it The Constellation. She used plenty of stars, especially the shooting star, as she felt it represented hope for all during the time of the Great Depression. Chanel’s necklaces were made without clasps, and had stones fashioned into stars that dash across the night sky, leaving a sparkling trail behind. Brooches, pendants, bracelets and rings are set on fire with carefully placed diamonds.
Can’t picture it? Not to worry, as a one-of-a-kind exhibition titled Bijoux de Diamants will feature these striking pieces. More than 70 items will go on display from Sept 12 to Oct 12 at the Chanel Watch & Fine Jewellery Boutique at 01-04 Takashimaya Shopping Centre. Daily from 10.30am to 8.30pm.

Sunny side upMen can look oh-so-cool this season with Louis Vuitton’s latest range of sunglasses Attitude. The label’s Damier pattern is found at the tem-ples of the frame. The sunglasses, priced at $815, come in two de-signs: silver and gold. Available at all Louis Vuitton boutiques.
STAR APPEAL
Amazing technical featThe Skeleton Patrimony Traditionelle by Vacher-
on Constantin has been hailed as a great work of art due to its amazing technical challenge of
fitting all mechan-ical demands into one watch. The 38mm 18K white-
gold case with a trans-parent dial houses the
automatic 1120 SQ cali-bre movement; the 30mm
version has the manual winding 1003 SQ calibre. Both versions also come with or without diamonds. Price starts from $66,300. Available at authorised re-tailers.
Marvels of timeThe most avant-garde in the Raymond Weil stable of timepieces is surely the fully me-
chanical Don Giovanni Così Grande watch. The rectangular case in polished steel shows
the “jumping hour” display, which has the hour hand replaced by the window at 12 o’clock. The overlapping smaller display
shows the minutes and seconds. View this re-markable timepiece at authorised retailers.
