In 1953, Marilyn Monroe sang “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.” A lot has changed and evolved since then — and while precious stones have lost little if any of their sparkle, in recent times, luxury watches have put up an exciting fight for the love, affection, and attention of women. Here are some of our favorite luxury timepieces for you that succeeded.
A micro-hotel within a factory, a grand courtyard inside a storied Milanese building: this is the Mua Mua Hotel, a project from Tom Dixon's Design Research Studio. Born as a temporary showcase for Dixon's collections during Milan Design Week, it has since opened its doors as a permanent hotel.
Purroy represents something important in contemporary tile design. She is multidisciplinary by necessity and conviction, committed to keeping centuries-old ceramic craftsmanship in dialogue with modern digital techniques. For Purroy, luxury means care, not cost, and that conviction runs through every firing, every layer of gold, every surface that leaves her studio.
The new 101 Secrets is built around a rather elegant refusal to show off the one thing a watch is supposed to show. Time, kept quietly. Jaeger-LeCoultre has been doing that for nearly a century, and it still does it better than most. We love it because, for once, the bracelet is the point and the watch is the reward.
What connects all of these estates isn't a single architectural language or a wine style. It's a shared conviction: that the place where wine is made and experienced should tell the same story as what ends up in the bottle. At the best ones, the building, the landscape, and the glass feel like three chapters of the same thing.
Zimmermann is bigger now, more professional, more global. And yet the clothes never feel anonymous. Every dress still carries something of that Sydney garage within it, the pleasure of making things yourself, the view out toward the Pacific. Perhaps that's undoubtedly where the secret lies. Zimmermann doesn't design passing trends. It designs timeless summers, always new, always different, and always unmistakably itself.

Antoine Musy took a break from his wild and wonderful adventures to speak with us about his incredible career—and, more importantly, to explain what to do when locked eye-to-eye with a gorilla in the jungle.
There are brands that take decades to earn that word and never quite get there. Martin got there by refusing to make fashion that could have come from anywhere else. Every material, silhouette, cultural reference points back to the same place: a country far more complex and far more beautiful than the version the world has always been sold. Misci is the correction. And it is only just getting started.
Ruslan Baginskiy’s hats have sat atop the heads of the most iconic cultural figures. To this Ukrainian designer, style is not just about glamour but a statement of resilience and identity. We got the opportunity to speak to the milliner about finding inspiration in both the extraordinary and the everyday.
