Piaget Possession & Extremely Lady Watches
Piaget Possession, with malachite dial and diamond bezel.Possession and Extremely Lady sound like fragrance collections, but they are actually two great new watch lines introduced by Piaget?at SIHH in Geneva. Together, they are right on target for today's ladies' market, representing a few emerging trends in ladies' watches. The most important of these trends is the concept of multiple options, including price. The Possession collection alone starts at $3,350 and goes all the way up to $22,400. In between, there are several options in size, finish, gem content, dial material and straps-the interchangeable strap system was one of several strap-change systems introduced among the luxury brands at SIHH. The Extremely Lady is a great example of the emerging trend in ladies’ watches toward textured gold, finished in a way that is normally reserved for jewelry. And both collections represent a trend back toward quartz watches for women, perhaps a sign of the times.Extremely Lady by Pia
Itay Noy X-Ray Watch Review
The Itay Noy X-Ray watch collection as a concept continues to impress me – I last reviewed their ID watch here. The idea of this newer piece isn’t overly complex but it is satisfying and poetic. I am not sure of what inspired him, but Israeli Itay Noy (a man and a brand) decided to show you what was under the dial of these watches – in what ironically is an unorthodox manner.If you know anything about the watch world, you know that skeletonized dials on timepieces are very popular. Such watches show an actual view into the movements. What Itay Noy wanted to do was offer a traditional dial that illustrated what the movement looked like in a monochromatic tone. It is an artful presentation on the skeletonization concept done in a unique way. At the same time. Itay Noy does actually offer skeletonized dial watches in their Netline collection. I offer some additional info and imagery on the Netline and X-Ray collection here.
