www.privateairny.com 56 Private Air New York | Fall 2016 WATCHES BLANCPAIN – Ladybird Ultraplate Is fashion a never-ending cycle? Amid the current renewed craze for tiny ladies' watches, Blancpain reinvents the enchanting design codes of the Ladybird in an ultra-thin contemporary version. First unveiled in 1956, this watch was equipped at the time with the smallest round movement on the market. Sixty years later, its slim white gold case highlighted by diamonds remains a supremely elegant and refined embodiment of Blancpain's technical expertise. Beating secretly beneath the glowing exterior of the watch is a tiny automatic movement equipped with a silicon balance-spring – a mechanical feat that punctuates each passing moment with a blend of delicacy and precision. On the dial graced with interlacing mother-of-pearl foliage, time glows with a luminous charm that literally captures the gaze. A delightfully retro-chic look of which Blancpain gives a stylish new interpretation in this 60-piece limited edition. www.blancpain.com BREGUET – Classique Phase de Lune Dame 9088 Breguet provides a world-preview showing of its new feminine creation, a model from the Classique collection featuring one of the most romantic horological complications: the moon phase. This discreet yet remarkable white gold watch with finely fluted caseband frames as Grand Feu enamel dial betokening significant mastery of traditional techniques. This dainty face is enhanced by "Breguet numerals" in reference to the founder of the House, who designed them in 1783. The minutes track, made up of tiny stars, as well as the the use of stylized fleurs-de-lis for the five- minute fractions are another tribute to the Breguet watchmaking tradition. The pure lines of this Classique Phase de Lune Dame 9088 faithfully reproduce the hallmarks that have ensured the success of the House for over 240 years. www.breguet.com By: E.J. Webber BEAUTY, SPARKLE & PERFECTLY BRILLIANT The legendary quality of these timepieces enchant with their beauty as well as their ability to tell time perfectly for ladies of fashion who know about the mystique of true style.
