Nove, a bold new Swiss watch brand, is looking to
make its mark in the home of horology by creating the
slimmest diver’s watch the world has ever seen, courtesy
of its newly-debuted Trident timepiece. Taking inspiration
from the mighty weapon wielded by Poseidon, the Greek
god of the oceans, the Trident is said to be only 6.8mm thick,
making it thinner than any other dedicated deep-sea chronometer. Arguably, it’s more
than just a statement piece, with its water resistance to depths of up to 500ft making it
quite an impressive entrée for the marine-minded marque. http://www.nove.com
Time and Tide
Known for its collaborations with renowned DJs the
world over, Ray-Ban, surely the most iconic American
eyewear brand, has announced its latest joint venture – a tie-up with South Korean sonic innovator
Peggy Gou. Taking its cue from Gou’s own unique sense of style, a gold sunglasses chain engraved
with the DJ’s initials has been added to the sales catalogue, alongside the collection’s new sunglasses,
making it the first-ever bespoke accessory for the brand. The Peggy Gou X Ray-Ban Studios Limited
Edition Collection also comes with a choice of either oval frames with violet lenses or square frames with blue polar
lenses, both featuring leather tips. http://www.ray-ban.com/hongkong
Eye Tunes
Staying true to its commitment to create only unique, high-
quality handcrafted items, Turkish jeweller Sevan Bıçakçı
has released its notably bold and distinctive 20,000 Leagues
Under the Sea Collection. With the emphasis very much on the
details, the range pays an exquisite homage to the characters and
creatures created by Jules Verne, the classic French fantasist, in
his 1870 novel of the same name. Featuring fantastic items with
imaginative names as Oceanus, Seastar, Kraken and Guardian
Fish, the range is at once bold, unusual, elegant and evocative of a
mythical realm. http://www.sevanbicakci.com
A Different League
Cognac Colossal
The fine folks over at Louis XIII have unveiled their latest spirited
masterpiece – which is surely set to nestle alongside its already semi-
legendary collection of fine cognacs – the most certainly one-of-a-kind Le
Salmanazar, its first-ever nine-litre crystal decanter. Beautifully crafted
by Baccarat, the venerable French curators of fine creations, it is officially
the largest crystal cognac decanter in the world and a more-than-fitting
placeholder for some of the most precious eaux-de-vieever to see the light
of day. Truly a work of art, Le Salmanazar is sure to grace any gentleman’s
liquor cabinet capacious enough to contain it. http://www.louisxiii-cognac.com
