Gem World: Cartier debuts all-new
Coloratura collection in fine style
Long lauded as one of the pre-eminent
purveyors of haute joaillerie designs,
luxury label Cartier has raised the bar
for high-end bejewelled accessories yet
higher with the Hong Kong launch of its
all-new Coloratura collection.
Said to be inspired by the brand’s
boundless curiosity, the 450 pieces that
comprise the collection are truly global
in reach, with the vibrant colours of
India, the subtle palettes of Japan and
the staccato shades of Africa all given
their moment to shine. Heralded as a
true celebration of diversity, the range
boasts an expansive array of precious
gemstones, all set in intricate designs
that manage to be dynamic and vibrant


  • a true sensorial exploration of colour
    without ever being jarring.
    Local Cartier admirers were granted
    their own chance to commune with all
    things Coloratura when the brand hosted
    an exhibition and two gala dinners at Hong
    Kong’s ultra-luxurious Rosewood Hotel.

High-tech electronics and intricate
engineering have become part-
and-parcel of the modern coffee-
making experience, with many high-
end caffeine-centric brands – including
Nuova Simonellia and Concordia –
almost entirely removing the need for
human intervention when creating
the supposedly-perfect espresso.
Thankfully, not all brands have taken
the all-automated route, with the new
Newton Lever-Press Espresso Maker
seeing the home touch as essential to
brewing a truly exquisite drink.
The brainchild of the New Zealand-
based espresso enthusiasts at Newton
Espresso, simplicity is embodied in
every aspect of the Newton Lever-
Press Espresso Maker. Simply add your
grinds to the basket, pour on boiling
water, then lower and raise the lever
and you’ll be enjoying a freshly-made
espresso. Once you’ve familiarised
yourself with its mechanisms, the
non-electric device gives you scope
to further personalise your coffee in
several ways – the force applied to the
