American Express Bonus Weekend: Enjoy 5 Membership Rewards points on purchases at ION Orchard ION+ Rewards Exclusive: With 8% rewards, it’s shopping time Turn to back page for details © 2016 SPH Magazines Reproduced with permission “ While stunning aesthetics alone are enough to catch the eye, the simple reason behind the growing number of aficionados is that timepieces and jewellery have long been hallmarks of style and sophistication; they marry form and function and actually become more precious as time goes by. Little wonder then that the demand for these statement making items continue to grow. It has been an honour for us at ION Orchard to cater to this exclusive group of collectors. Together with the brands we partner with, we continue to deliver the most comprehensive luxury offerings in Singapore. Now, not only does ION Orchard house some of the biggest names in luxury, it also offers retail experiences like no other. Mr Chris Chong, CEO ION Orchard The largest collection of horology movements at ION Orchard PATEK PHILIPPE SEVEN years after its opening in 2009, ION Orchard has established its reputation as the purveyor of watchmaking expertise. The crown jewel of luxury retail continues to dazzle aficionados with some of the world’s biggest names in luxury watches, counting horological legends among them. A treasure trove of 20 jewellery and watch boutiques attracts locals and tourists alike. However, it is not only the wide selection of top-end brands that impresses. ION Orchard also offers premium, first-of-its-kind retail experiences that are hard to replicate. Tiffany&Co.’s sprawling streetfront duplex store at ION Orchard boasts the most beautiful VIP rooms in Southeast Asia. Officine Panerai’s ION Orchard boutique commands the largest collection in Asia. Van Cleef & Arpels’ store, which is the largest in Singapore, features an exclusive bridal bar to help customers create that dream wedding. Chaumet recently relaunched its boutique with a new look that incorporates an eye-catching luxe facade backlit with royal blue glass. French architect and designer Jean-Michel Wilmotte headed the revamp. His portfolio includes the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in VACHERON CONSTANTIN Paris and Incheon International Airport, to name but a few. Pa t e k P h i l i p p e r e c e n t l y expanded its premises to nearly 3,000 square feet, making it the brand’s biggest flagship boutique in Southeast Asia and the second largest in Asia. Va c h e r o n C o n s t a n t i n ’s Southeast Asian flagship and Ja e g e r- LeCoultre’s second Singapore boutique are also located at ION Orchard. ION Orchard differentiates itself from other luxury retail hubs with constant engagement via multiple platforms. The focus on experiential retailing takes the humdrum out of bricks-and-mortar shopping. Some of the brands extend exclusive invitations to previews and specially curated events. OFFICINE PANERAI Exclusive exhibitions of fine watches and jewellery are a regular feature here. To enable shoppers to better appreciate the mall’s luxury offerings, the mall explores the use of technology to bring the exhibits to life with multimedia elements such as video walls and stunning photography. ADVERTISEMENT Haute horlogerie continues to capture the imagination The mesmerising centuries-old art of horology never goes out of style. The development of the quartz movement in the 1970’s had dealt a big blow to the Swiss watch industry. However, leading horology houses fought back with eye-catching designs and mind-boggling, state-of-the-art movements in the 1980’s. Today, with the omnipresence of synchronised, digital devices, watches are no longer necessities. A well-made timepiece has become a luxury to covet, a treasure to cherish, and an heirloom to pass on to the next generation. Radiomir 1940 Minute Repeater Carillon Tourbillon GMT OFFICINE PANERAI #01-18 PATEK PHILIPPE La D de Dior Satine DIOR TIMEPIECES #02-12/13 A. LANGE & SÖHNE Saxonia Moon Phase A. LANGE & SÖHNE #02-05A The latest model of the A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia family stands out with its lucid design and the compelling combination of two popular combinations: a precise moon-phase display and the famous characteristic Lange outsize date. The Saxonia Moon Phase’s self-winding calibre L086.5 is already the eminent Saxon manufactory’s 16th movement with this popular astronomical complication. Thanks to a precisely calculated sevenstage transmission, the display reproduces the period from new moon to new moon with an accuracy of 99.998 per cent. The ample 72-hour power reserve is achieved with only one mainspring barrel. BUBEN & ZÖRWEG At first glance, one may mistake it for an art deco piece. The new Galaxy XL safe channels a retro-futuristic look with a fusion of high quality leather, exotic woods and high-gloss metallic paint developed by Buben & Zörweg. The aesthetically pleasing chrome-plated, stainless steel metal handles on the doors allow access to the safe and its precious content. This masterpiece of German craftsmanship comes with certified security (VdS I), as well as Swiss security lock. DIOR TIMEPIECES Clé de Cartier Automatic Skeleton CARTIER #01-20 & #02-10 CARTIER The Clé de Cartier owes its name to its winding crown, the shape and clicking action of which are inspired by traditionally-wound clocks. The remarkable representation of Cartier’s design ingenuity introduces the Maison’s first skeleton movement with automatic winding, the calibre 9612 MC, which merges naturally into the skeletonised architecture. The extravagance of the Roman numerals is typical of the Cartier skeleton model. In this open-work design, the bridges in the shape of the numerals III, VI, IX and XII structure the movement and define its appearance between solid and void, transparency of the outlines and organic vitality of the watch components. CORTINA WATCH C H Hautlence Vortex Primary marks the second collaboram tion of Hautlence and its brand ti aambassador and ex-footballer Eric Cantona. The new timeE piece features the same specp tacular mechanism of the ta brand’s Concept d’Exception b ccollection, while flaunting a three-dimensional 48 gramth light case that is crafted out of li black PVD-coated grade 5 b titanium and highlights a total ti of 19 different coloured glass o panels. Hautlence and Cantona p cchose a mix of materials in primary colours to create the p design, including five transpard eent sapphire crystals, two semitransparent sapphire crystals, tr four red ruby glass panels, five fo blue spinel glass panels and three b yyellow corundum glass panels. Galaxy XL 6 BUBEN & ZORWEG #04-06 The La D de Dior collection embodies the spirit of Dior jewellery, bold creativity, combinations of materials and colours and all the know-how of Swiss watchmaking. Designed like a “satin ribbon”, La D de Dior Satine features a Milanese mesh steel bracelet, whose flexibility and shine make it a real metallic fabric. Each detail speaks of precious refinement and a dedication to excellence: The delicate dials are in white or black mother-of-pearl ,and the precious bezels, crowns and buckles are set with diamonds. JAEGER-LECOULTRE Reverso Tribute Calendar pays tribute to both horological content and aesthetics. On one side, it displays a traditional function, a complete calendar, and on the other, the exclusive Reverso Duo function. The graphic narrative on the front exudes intense sophistication epitomised in the hammered moon-phase display. The moonphase is echoed in perfect symmetry on the back with an opulently staged day/night indicator. Anthracite predominates on the guilloché dial with its “clous de Paris” hobnail finish, making a perfect match with the elegant pink gold of the case. IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN The heritage of the iconic Big Pilot’s Watch traces back to the production of the first Special Pilot’s Watch in 1936. A discreet optical makeover of the new model has resulted in an uncanny resemblance to the 1940 original. The triangular index is once again positioned below the chapter ring, while the numerals appear slightly bolder and the five-minute indices a little slimmer. The IWC-manufactured 51111 calibre enables the power reserve of over seven days to be built up within no time. The 46-millimetre stainless-steel case is water-resistant to 6 bar. Hublot Big Band Unico Sapphire L’ATELIER BY THE HOUR GLASS #03-06 L’ATELIER BY THE HOUR GLASS Demonstrating Hublot’s groundbreaking use of materials, the Big Band Unico Sapphire lays the art of mechanical watchmaking completely bare with its absolutely transparent architecture. The case middle, bezel and back of the Big Bang Unico Sapphire are cut straight from blocks of sapphire, a material that is as hard and water-resistant as diamond. Its skeleton dial, made from transparent resin, reveals all the gears of the proprietary Unico HUB 1242 movement and its f inishes. A transparent strap complements its ethereal silhouette. The Big Bang Unico Sapphire is water-resistant to 50 metres and is available in 500 limited edition pieces. OFFICINE PANERAI The new Radiomir 1940 Minute Repeater Carillon Tourbillon GMT is technically the most complicated watch ever made by the brand. It boasts the new P.2005/MR Manufacture movement, a hand-wound skeleton calibre and a double minute repeater mechanism chiming either local time or a second time zone. Even more remarkable, it features the innovative double hour and minute repeater function, as well as the patented tourbillon regulator, which can be admired from both the front and back of the watch, thanks to the skeletonised design. OMEGA Within the deep blue waters of Earth, OMEGA has always found both inspiration and opportunity. In 2005, after decades of experience above and below the waves, the brand looked to the true legends of ocean exploration to help it create the Planet Ocean collection. Already a highly functional and stylish tool on land and at sea, OMEGA is proud to now introduce the next generation of this popular collection. Even more impressive is the Master Chronometer rating that now accompanies every model. Certified at the industry’s highest level for precision and performance, today’s Planet Ocean 600M Master Chronometer is navigating new waters in watchmaking excellence. The new Annual Calendar ar Re Ref. ef. 5396 is the 22nd model off Patek Philippe’s patented complicamplications. Its design blends wellknown style elements in a new way to create innovative facets. s The case shape evokess th the Calatrava paragon, merges with elegantly sculpted lugs, and features a broad, smoothly polished bezel. At the heart of the watch is the mechanical self-winding calibre 324 S QA LU 24H movement. Its calendar needs to be manually corrected only once a year at the transition from February to March. TAG HEUER Symbolically christened the Heuer 01 in honour of the founder, Edouard Heuer, the Manufacture chronograph represents the horological development of the calibre 1887. The clean design of Carrera Heuer 01 reveals the chronograph controls and the openworked date disc on the dial side. It features a new generation TAG Heuer case that is made from light titanium for greater shock resistance. Modular with 12 different components, the design opens up a world of possibilities, with an infinite combination of materials, colours, treatments and finishes. A black, perforated strap completes the stylish, sporty look. Annual Calendar Ref. 5396 PATEK PHILIPPE #02-01/02/03 TIFFANY&CO. The world’s premier jeweller brings its craftsmanship and expertise into watchmaking. An exemplary horological achievement is the famous Tiffany East West® collection that is inspired by an ingenious Tiffany travel clock from the 1940s. The creative and daring design reinvents the rules of watchmaking with a dial set horizontally instead of vertically. Water-resistant to 30 metres / 100feet / 3 ATM, the Swiss-made timepiece ticks to a self-winding mechanical movement. Its rectangular 18k rose gold case and white guilloché dial featuring gold poudré numerals, with a brown alligator strap to match, exude sheer elegance. Tiffany East West® TIFFANY&CO. #01-21, #02-11 VACHERON CONSTANTIN The quintessential watch for travellers, the Overseas World Time displays no less than 37 time zones, including those that are off-set by a half-hour or quarter-hour in relation to UTC time. Its 43.5mm-diameter case houses Caliber 2460 WT, a patented Vacheron Constantin self-winding movement that operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and enjoys a 40-hour reserve. The new model, which bears the Hallmark of Geneva, the ultimate certification of quality in fine watchmaking, features intechangeable bracelets, straps and clasps.
