In our weekly series, we bring you the latest luxury news from around the world. This week’s highlights: IWC keeps it sunny, Clé de Peau Beauté’s new Restorative Cream Supreme, Amanemu celebrates a milestone
Dior reopens its Saint-Tropez boutique
Planning a trip to the French Riviera? Surely the newly renovated Dior boutique is on your list. Located at 13 Rue François Sibilli, the historic Provençal country house isn’t just home to the latest women’s collections, fine jewellery, fragrances and homeware. It also houses the Café Dior, which is open year-round in the boutique’s garden courtyard, and the the Monsieur Dior Restaurant, a seasonal garden restaurant featuring a Mediterranean menu by Mauro Colagreco.
IWC keeps it sunny
Intent on keeping summer alive for a while longer, IWC Schaffhausen just unveiled a new expression of the celebrated Ingenieur Automatic 35. At 35mm, the Ingenieur Automatic 35 is already the most compact expression of IWC’s modern Genta-inspired integrated-bracelet sports watch, and with a crisp, aquatic blue dial, it takes on a fresh and cool personality, imbued with a flash of resort-ready brightness that feels well timed for warmer days, linen shirts, and the occasional escape from the office. See the full story here.
A Journey Through Nature
As the first fully realised project under creative studio director Olga Corsini, Chaumet’s 46-piece high-jewellery collection takes cues from botanical plants, translating sensory aromas into precious stones and metals. The collection introduces you to three distinct sensory chapters—Botanic Freshness, Spicy Sweetness and Aromatic Warmth—with highlights such as the Vanilla Flower set, a 1,350-hour work of art that turns the petals and pods of the Vanilla planifolia orchid into intricate white gold and diamond pieces.
A cream where youth reigns supreme
You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy yourself a little youth. Such as Clé de Peau Beauté’s new Restorative Cream Supreme, a formula that nips any sign of ageing—visible or not—in the bud. With Future Sculpt Technology II, an advanced anti-ageing complex, the cream is absorbed smoothly into the skin, soothing it at once and showing visible results in at least four weeks.
Bvlgari’s all-diamond high-jewellery capsule
With the unveiling of Eclettica, Bvlgari continues the dialogue between jewellery and art, channeling a distinctive artisanship with diamonds through 26 high-jewellery masterpieces. Woven, draped and shaped into lace-like compositions, the collection extends Bvlgari’s creative vocabulary and artisanal genius into Haute Couture, embracing the art of lace as a new territory of expression.
Japan’s Amanemu celebrates a milestone
Having spent a decade in the spiritual heartland of Mie Prefecture, Amanemu celebrates this milestone with a series of new, complimentary experiences, each rooted in the region’s spiritual setting and local traditions. From waterfall purification rituals to hands-on workshops and a seafood lunch in the company of Ama divers, guests are invited to select an experience for every night of their stay. Amanemu has also introduced two wellness journeys—a 120-minute spa treatment inspired by the landscape and ancient history of Ise-Shima, and a two-day programme that alternates between yoga, breathwork, acupuncture, moxibustion and bodywork.
