A Piaget guide for Valentine’s day – a surefire recipe for success
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you are like me, you will find Valentine’s Day a much more difficult occasion for finding and choosing the right gift for your significant other. Christmas is easy – one just needs to find out the wishes of the other and… problem solved! But for Valentine’s Day, your dearest one will expect you to impress her/him with something that will make them let out a gasp at the first sight, something that will always help them remember this celebration of love. And since here, at Lifetime – Collectible watch stories, we are exploring the watch territories, I will suggest you something that will make your dear one smile –
Subtlety & silicone – Baume & Mercier Clifton Baumatic
I have never naturally headed for the obvious. I blindly pass by almost everything that shines or screams ostentatiously, drawn like a magnet to everything that whispers or only allows itself to be discovered after some time of getting acquainted.
Seiko Prospex: Not just for diving
I believe nobody is more consistent and more attentive to details than the Japanese.
Brilliance for the short winter days
I have two major moods when it comes to women’s watches (I mean, when I’m not wearing men’s watches, which I simply adore): I either like minimalist models, such as Slim d’Hermès, which I find relaxing by their purity of design, or I jump at watches full of diamonds that help me cheer up with the brilliance and playful light.

The perfect chameleon / ZENITH DEFY EL PRIMERO 21

The latest one, Aldo Magada, has very recently left the company. At present, Zenith enjoys the attention of the tireless Jean-Claude Biver, who is currently trying to find a consistent direction for a brand with pedigree and legendary models.

A tiny watch,with a huge personality / HERMÈS NANTUCKET TRÈS PETIT MODÈLE
A tiny watch,with a huge personality The watch I have worn very often for many years is 40mm in diameter. And I find it perfect, well-balanced and well-fitted on my wrist. I have also tried and worn 42mm or even 44mm models and I liked them a lot.
