Wonderful diamonds,
stunning jewellery,
famous watches and
some interesting reading we’ve got it all!
Did you know...
...that continuity is a wonderful thing and that 2009

I can celebrate 25 years in the family business that
was started by my great grandfather in 1900.

We understand the lessons learned from the
passage of time. We have seen two world wars,
one great depression, numerous other crises and
we even survived an occupation. In these uncertain
times, it is comforting to have this great reservoir of
experience and to know we can stand the test
of time.

E
nduring collections are among the venerable
traditions upheld by Patek Philippe: the Genevabased manufacture is now celebrating the 40th
birthday of its legendary Golden Ellipse family with
a first platinum version and an exclusive two-watch
set with matching jewellery for people who cherish
timeless elegance. In 1868, Patek Philippe crafted
the very first Swiss wristwatch. It was a delicate
jewelled timepiece. One hundred years later,
wristwatches were ubiquitous, and there was hardly
any shape that designers had not yet tried out. The
spectrum of case styles ranged from classic round
to rectangular and square as well as to triangular
for Masonic watches.
It almost seemed as if the
creatives had reached their
wits’ end – until the day
when the eminent Genevan
manufacture Patek Philippe
unveiled its Golden Ellipse
in 1968. The new watch was
appealing not only because
of its novel and uncommon case
form, but also because the 18K gold
dial radiated an unfathomably deep blue
glow. The exact process used to coax this
almost magic hue out of a gold dial remains one
of the best-kept secrets of the manufacture.
For the first time, Patek Philippe presents its Golden
Ellipse in a large format with a platinum case.
The original large-format Golden Ellipse, coveted
among collectors and connoisseurs alike, was
crafted from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. The
cool sheen of platinum underscores the timeless
elegance of the new extra large case of the Ref.
24
5738P, amplified by the divinely proportioned form
that strikes a chord in our quest for harmony.
An exclusive limited-edition anniversary set was
created to commemorate the 40th birthday of the
Golden Ellipse. Each of the 100 precious wood
boxes contains two Golden Ellipse timepieces: extra
large Ref. 5738P and classic size Ref. 3758/100P.
Both have exquisite platinum cases with discreet
diamonds between the lugs at 6 o’clock, the
mysteriously shimmering Blue Gold® dials, blue
alligator straps, and superb self-winding mechanical
caliber 240 movements.
This magnificent set of two is the
perfect choice for people whose
togetherness is just as harmonious
as the divine proportions of
the Golden Ellipse. For men,
the anniversary set includes
two Golden Ellipse cuff links
in 18K white gold with Blue
Gold® centers. For ladies, the
leather-lined drawer contains a
graceful 18K white gold necklace
with Golden Ellipse pendants and 69
flawless Top Wesselton diamonds as
well as 29 glistening blue sapphires, one
of which is cabochon-cut.
Within the current Patek Philippe collection, the
extra large Ref. 5738P Golden Ellipse and the cuff
links are also available separately. The platinumcased Ref. 3738/100P in the classic format and the
necklace, however, are available only in the limited
edition anniversary set and will not be integrated in
the current collection.

NEW ROLEX SEA-DWELLER DEEPSEA
Ref. 116600/982P
Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA
Often the setting of myths and legends, the oceans
have sparked imagination since the beginning
of time. They kindle in man an irrepressible
desire for adventure, challenge and ever greater
achievement, a drive throughout the ages to seek
new heights and explore the deep.
The Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA responds to the most
exacting demands of professional divers in terms of
robustness, precision and reliability.
The new Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller
DEEPSEA is a product of man’s inherent desire
to push the boundaries of his dreams and his
potential.
Waterproof to an extreme depth of 3,900
metres (12,800 feet), this new-generation
diver’s watch confirms the supremacy of Rolex in
the mastery of waterproofness and demonstrates an
ever-present pursuit of excellence.
Entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex, the
Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA is a totally new watch that
benefits from important technical innovations. It
is equipped with a RINGLOCK SYSTEM, a
new case architecture patented by Rolex,
which allows the watch to resist the colossal
pressure exerted by water at great depths. It is the
first watch to feature a bracelet with a double
extension system making it easily adaptable for
greater comfort in wear over a diving suit.
26
With its intrinsic capabilities, the Sea-Dweller
DEEPSEA takes a rightful place in the prestigious
Oyster family. It illustrates the pioneering spirit that
led Rolex to develop, as early as the 1950s, divers’
watches like the Submariner and the Sea-Dweller.
Its name pays tribute to the Deep Sea Special, the
experimental prototype that in 1960 plunged to a
depth of 10,916 metres in the Mariana Trench.
27
The Asscher Story
T
he Royal Asscher® Diamond Company was
founded in 1854. The company has a legendary
European heritage and an exclusive client list of
international royalty and celebrities – visitors to the
company’s headquarters include Japan’s Emperor
Hirohito, Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain
and Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard of The
Netherlands. The company was originally named
the Asscher Diamond Company, its Royal title was
awarded by HM Queen Juliana of the Netherlands
in 1980 in recognition of the company’s leading
role in the diamond industry in The Netherlands.
The Asscher family dynasty has had an indelible
influence on the diamond industry – Joseph Asscher,
at the request of King Edward VII, cut the largest
diamond ever found, the famous 3,105 carat
Cullinan stone which was cut into three parts to
form part of Great Britain’s Crown Jewels. Joseph
Asscher also designed and patented the original
Asscher Cut in 1902. More than a century later
Edward and Joop Asscher continued the Asscher’s
legacy and created a variant of the original, the
Royal Asscher® Cut.
28
The more discerning customer hopes to wear
an authentic original item - the Royal Asscher®
Diamond Company offers a unique authenticity
guarantee. Each and every Royal Asscher® Cut is
laser inscribed with the Royal Asscher® logo and
an individual identification number which belongs
to a single diamond only, this number is registered
with the Royal Asscher® Diamond Company
in Amsterdam and is listed on a certificate that
accompanies the diamond.
At present the fifth and sixth generation of the
Asscher family are at the helm of Royal Asscher®.
Edward, President, heads up the European division
of the company, his daughter Lita, is the Managing
Director of the Royal Asscher® North America
and his son Mike is responsible for international
diamond production and Far East sales.
The Royal Asscher® Diamond Company strongly
opposes the trade of conflict diamonds and refuses
to work with conflict diamonds. Indeed the Asschers
themselves actively campaign for an ethically
operating diamond industry. Edward Asscher has
received a knighthood for such work, becoming an
Officer in the Order of Oranje Nassau in 1999.

The Schoeffel philosophy
and the defining features of Schoeffel pearls.
E
nthralling, uncompromising, exclusive: These
are the values we hold dear, and the philosophy
that underlies everything we do. “Enthralling”
expresses our ongoing search for the new and the
attractive - jewellery that captivates and fascinates.
It is also about the way we combine the lustre,
shape, colour, size and surface of our pearls to
create jewellery that makes the wearer look and feel
special. “Uncompromising” describes Schoeffel’s
unwavering dedication to quality and design.
“Exclusive” refers to the skills and aesthetic expertise
that go into all our creations - from selecting the
pearls to hand-crafting exquisite jewellery.
This philosophy is the cornerstone
on which Schoeffel’s reputation is
built, not just among customers, but
also among jewellers throughout
the world - a reputation for
exceptional quality in everything
we create, from the very simple to
the very sophisticated.
The Schoeffel logo is a feature of all our jewellery.
Each pearl necklace includes an 18ct gold
logo, and all other items in our collection have
an embossed version. It bears witness to our
commitment to total quality, and is a respected
hallmark around the world. It confirms that the
purchaser has impeccable taste and has made an
excellent choice.
34
THE LUSTRE | is the sheen - the fascinating way
pearl reflects light: The soft shimmer that seems to
emanate from within. The lustre gives a pearl its
unique appearance and its seductive charm, and is
the most important quality criterion for Schoeffel.
THE SHAPE | has a major influence on value.
Some occur as perfect spheres and are worth more,
others possess forms that emphasise a pearl’s
natural personality.
THE SURFACE | always includes some unevenness,
and this lends each pearl its unique character.
However, generally speaking, the
fewer blemishes, the greater the value.
THE SIZE | of a pearl has a limited
impact on its value, and is only
considered once other criteria have
been taken into account. Nevertheless,
the value usually rises in proportion to
size.
THE COLOUR | has, from an objective point of
view, little to do with the quality of a pearl. However
it does influence the value: The rarer the colour, the
greater the value.
Tahitian multi colour pearls from £4,000
THE RIGHT BLEND | is of vital importance
to Schoeffel quality. All pearls set in Schoeffel
necklaces are a harmonious combination of lustre,
shape, surface, size and colour - a blend that is not
just eye-catching, but also breath-taking.

What is crystal and why is Baccarat the best?
Before Baccarat
crystal there was only
glass. Old legends
lie behind the
origin of crystal and
experts have never
agreed upon its
discovery. However,
history brings us
back to Asia Minor
where glass was used to make simple but various
containers. This was before Syrian glass-makers
discovered in the 1st Century BC the first blowing
techniques. The discovery moved the production
from simple objects to a completely new form of
glassware – blown glass. Today, Baccarat is still
using the same pioneering free-hand techniques.
Yet the word ‘crystal’, inspired by the Greek word
‘krustallos’, had to wait till the 10th Century to be
used, when Venetian craftsmen began making a
much finer and completely transparent glass. The
glass remained impure and raw until 1676 when
the London based glass-maker George Ravenscroft,
who had previously worked in Venice, discovered
lead oxide, a new element to add to the original
composition. The result was a limpid, bright, shining
rock of crystal. A century later, in 1769 in France,
under the reign of Louis XV, Lord Bishop of Metz
founded the legendary Baccarat crystal factory.
Baccarat crystal is obtained from one of the finest
and whitest sands on earth, combined with other
mineral elements such as potash and lead oxide.
The high presence of lead in Baccarat’s crystal,
which is far greater than the minimum of 24%
required, makes it a full-lead crystal, incomparable
in terms of radiance, shine and limpidity. Baccarat
always utilises the purest elements, combining them
with an extraordinary know-how that has no equal
in the world.
Baccarat crystalware is one of the most prestigious
French products, and perfection is what
distinguished Baccarat from others. Baccarat is
considered a stable foundation and synonymous
with tradition, heritage, and creative design.
Baccarat always encloses innovation together with
a sophisticated and avant-garde technology, often
opening its doors to celebrated designers, such
as George Chevalier, Salvador Dali, and Ettore
Sottsass.
The highest quality in product and services - this
is Baccarat. After production all the pieces must
undergo a particularly vigilant and strict quality
standard inspection by Baccarat selectors. All
aspects are closely verified, as imperfection is not
allowed. Baccarat never has a sale and never sells
a second. Its international reputation is unrivalled.
No other crystal factory has the same number of
‘Best Workers’. Twenty-five in total were awarded by
the French Government with this exclusive status,
which is still now the highest number of all French
companies. This subtle combination of traditionally
artistic craft methods with a highly uncompromising
service makes Baccarat the best in luxury and
elegance.

The Stars Are Out
Hollywood and glamour go hand in hand, and who better to provide the
stars of the film world with their sparkle than Chopard?
The BAFTAs
Chopard jewellery enjoyed a starring role on the
red carpet at this year’s BAFTAs, adorning the
bodies of some of the film world’s most talented
stars. On one of the most glamorous events of the
year, it seemed only fitting to bedeck the halls with a
generous smattering of diamonds.
Best Leading Actress Marion Cotillard chose an
oval hair ornament, a diamond line bracelet and
a diamond and pearl bracelet from the Pushkin
collection to accept her award, while Sienna Miller,
nominee for The Orange Rising Star Award, wore
a pair of white and brown diamond strand earrings
and a total of 30 carats of white diamonds around
her wrist to complete her old-Hollywood look.
SIENNA MILLER
After the awards ceremony, guests attended a
lavish after-party hosted by film producer Harvey
Weinstein, Chopard Co-President Caroline
Gruosi-Scheufele and Amy Sacco at the exclusive
Bungalow8 club. Guests including Kate Hudson,
Jaime Winstone, Lady Victoria Harvey and Ridley
Scott enjoyed Perrier Jouet “Golden Diamond”
themed champagne cocktails, finished with real
gold leaf, and canapés from St Martin’s Lane’s
acclaimed restaurant Asia de Cuba. Dazzling
displays of Chopard jewellery delighted guests as
they celebrated the evening’s successes.
The Oscars (80th Annual Academy Awards)
Cannes
GWYNETH PALTROW
Chopard has long had a presence at the Oscars,
with the leading ladies of the last five years –
Marion Cotillard (2008), Helen Mirren (2007),
Rachel Weisz (2006), Hilary Swank (2005) and
Charlize Theron (2004) – accepting their Best
Actress accolade adorned in Chopard’s delectable
diamonds.
This year, Marion Cotillard took one of the most
prestigious titles of the night – Best Actress – for her
role in La Vie en Rose. She wore a stunning custommade Jean Paul Gautier creation, and accessorised
with Chopard jewels: a 64 carat champagne
diamond briolette necklace layered over light and
dark brown diamond bead necklaces. She added
a brilliant cut yellow diamond ring to complete the
luxurious look.
Presenter and two time Best Actress winner Hilary
Swank wore diamond flower hairclips, round
cut diamond earrings on a French wire and a
Snowflake diamond bracelet with her Atelier
Versace gown, while Penelope Cruz, also a
presenter for the evening, chose to wear 25 carat
ruby and diamond drop earrings, a fancy shaped
diamond bracelet and a marquise cut diamond
ring.
The 61st International Cannes Film Festival got
off to a flying and fabulous start this year, with
an Opening Night Gala to remember. Chopard
Co-President Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele worked
in collaboration with celebrated fashion designer
Alberta Ferretti to create the Desire gown – a
unique cohesion of fashion and jewellery – which
was auctioned at the gala on behalf of the fight
against AIDs. Valued at $700,000, the gown was
fashioned from lilac silk chiffon embellished with a
selection of precious stones totalling 2,904 carats.
An array of stars attended the event, including Cate
Blanchett, Mischa Barton and Gillian Anderson,
who all wore Chopard jewels.
Once again, Chopard sealed its commitment to
cinema by presenting an award – the Trophée
Chopard – to two of the most talented up-andcoming actors in the film industry. This year’s
winners were American actor Omar Metwally and
Chinese actress Tang Wei, who graciously accepted
their trophies from Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele and
Gilles Jacob, President of the Cannes Film Festival.
Celebrations commenced at the Zéphir Lounge of
the Carlton Hotel, with actor Andy Garcia and his
band providing the entertainment for the evening.
The Oscars are renowned not only for the prestige
of the ceremony, but also for the spectacular afterparty held by Sir Elton John each year, in support
of the Elton John AIDs Foundation. The host wore
a fancy shaped diamond lariat necklace, a 12
carat radiant cut diamond stud earrings and a
120 carat pear-shape pink tourmaline ring, while
his partner and co-host David Furnish chose a
spectacular Chopard timepiece for the evening.
Guests including Eva Herzigova, Portia de Rossi and
Minnie Driver all wore Chopard jewellery for the
celebrations.
HILARY SWANK
Oscar-nominated actress Penelope Cruz arrived for
the premiere of her film Vicky Cristina Barcelona
looking every bit the Spanish goddess in a white
Grecian-inspired Marchesa gown. She accessorised
with Chopard’s fancy-shaped diamond earrings
with pear-shaped drops, a fancy shaped diamond
bracelet and a six carat oval-shaped diamond
cocktail ring. Cate Blanchett chose an Armani
Prive gown with an incredible necklace from the
Red Carpet Collection for the premiere of Indiana
Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which
included cushion and round shaped tanzanite,
amethyst, round shaped rose-cut diamonds and
952 sapphires. Some of the world’s brightest stars
accessorised with Chopard for the red carpet,
including Catherine Deneuve, Salma Hayek, Dita
Von Teese and Madonna.

Cartier the watchmaker,
a path marked by success...
A
s early as 1888 the first reference to wristwatches
can be found in the Cartier archives. At around
the same time, pocket and chatelaine watches were
also popular, but for Louis Cartier, the future lay in
wristwatches. It is the beginning of a long love story,
and the stepping stone to the creation of many other
models: the Tonneau watch, the Tortue watch, the
Tank watch, the Baignoire watch, the Panthère watch,
the Pasha watch… Names that refer to a certain
shape, a winding crown, a “rail-track” minute circle,
hands, a dial… and all keep Cartier time.
Similar yet different, they are recognisable at first
glance, they reflect a simple but stylish aesthetic,
geometric but soft, always elegant, never fussy.
The perfect equation that makes them either men’s
or women’s watches, casual or sophisticated,
depending on the time of day or the way in which
they are worn. Their growing success bears witness
to the fact that time is on their side.

A night to remember
In July 2008 we held a very special
presentation with Harry Collins the
Crown Jeweller and the Royal Asscher
Diamond Company. They are linked
by the Cullinan Diamond which at
3,105ct was the largest diamond ever
found. This magnificent gem was cut
by Asscher and the resulting stones
were set in our own Crown Jewels.
Harry gave us a fascinating insight in
to the Cullinan Diamond and life as
the Crown Jeweller.
