I had a total ‘bucket list’ moment recently as I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore so many of Iceland’s breathtaking landmarks. I couldn’t have asked for better companions to join me on my adventures than my Mont Blanc 1858 Iced Sea timepieces. The second I stepped foot on this beautiful picturesque land, I quickly understood how the mysteries of the ice could be so inspiring.
The Retreat at the Blue Lagoon
Famous for its steamy mineral-rich water and soft white silica mud, both of which have healing effects on the skin, I had the chance to enjoy the benefits of the Blue Lagoon. I could witness the dial of my Mont Blanc 1858 Ice Sea Green come to life, that green glacier dial that gives the impression of looking into the depths of glacial ice – a deep emerald green color thanks to iron oxides captured in the ice, as I gazed onto the perfectly lush surroundings of the resort.
The Raufarhólshellir Lava Tunnel
We visited the fourth-longest lava tube in Iceland, those frozen ice stalagmites are absolutely breathtaking! A journey into the Lava Tunnel was a unique opportunity to experience the inner workings of a volcanic eruption as one walks in the path of lava that flowed 5.200 years ago. When we got as far as we were going all the lights switched off for us to have a moment of perfect darkness and silence. Although I’m not such a fan of closed spaces, thankfully the Super-Luminova® feature on the hands, indexes, and the dots at 12 o’clock on the bezel, all glowing in a luminescent shade in blue low light.
The Seljalandsfoss and Gljúfrabúi Waterfalls
These incredible waterfalls hang over a massive cave that you can go inside to explore. The only access inside is by stepping on river rocks on the righthand side of the stream and using the stone facade inside to grip embedded in the stone wall which you can grab onto for balance. Although I was in rougher terrain at this point, I was confident that my Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea’s durability with its scratch resist dial and rubber strap option would get my though this adventure safe and sound.
Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon -Icelands most Iconic Natural Wonder
The display of icebergs, ‘museum of ice the icebergs’ as they call it, with its impossible turquoise glow, contrasted by photogenic streaks of black ash from various volcanic eruptions- the creaking, groaning, and crashing sounds at the glacier’s edge- are otherworldly and unforgettable.
Similar to Mont-Blanc mountain’s largest glaciers – the Mer de Glace, the grey glacier pattern dial on my Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Grey artistically replicates those emblematic grey Icelandic glaciers reflecting the mineral deposits that have been captured in its structure for millennia.
The Ice-studded black ‘Diamond Beach’
We were escorted by ATVs to the Diamond Beach, also known as Breiðamerkursandur, a beach located on the south coast of Iceland. The beach is famous for its black sand and icebergs that wash up on the shore, resembling sparkling diamonds. I never seen anything quite like this before! The shimmer and shine upon the black sands reminded me of the process of creating the Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea glacier dials through a special technique called gratté-boisé as the base and gives each dial the impression of genuine depth and luminosity.
The ‘Feather River Canyon’
Last but definitely not least, we passed through Iceland’s most picturesque canyon – where Games of Thrones was filmed! The combination of blue waters, earthy rocks, shimmering ice and even sprouts of green summarized the entire experience into one outstanding location. I must say that I was throughly impressed with my Montblanc Iced Sea timepieces. Not only we’re they the perfect aesthetic fit for my Icelandic adventure, they were reliable, durable and stood the ‘test of time’ with each timepiece undergoing the highly commended Montblanc Laboratory Test; ensuring that each watch is shock, magnetic, temperature, and water-resistant (approx. 30 bar) and that its fasteners are reinforced for enhanced security.
Can’t wait for my next adventure! Where should I head off to next?
Roger Dubuis brings a new masterpiece into the world of watchmaking as it unveils the Excalibur Monobalancier (MB) Titanium, a remarkable blend of material mastery, expressive design, and horological expertise. Crafted from titanium Grade 5, the hyper- modern timepiece is a strikingly light variation of the iconic original Excalibur MB, boasting peak levels of comfort, aesthetics, and performance. 33% lighter than stainless steel and legendary for its strength-to- weight ratio, the space-age metal boasts many innate benefits: from its soft and hypoallergenic nature, to its high anti-corrosion and anti-magnetic properties.
Powered by the automatic RD720SQ, it features a calibre already well-known for its breathtaking performance. The micro-rotor is designed to minimise vibrations, while the remarkable inertia of its balance wheel maximises stability and reduces its sensitivity to shocks. Finally, the advanced mechanics of the diamond-coated silicon escapement wheel paired with diamond-coated silicon pallet-stones ensure an impressive 72 hours of power reserve, bringing even more practicality and comfort to the wearer.
Over the past ten years, the Maison’s focus on miniaturisation led to such elevated technical mastery that the watchmakers were able to take on a new challenge developing and playing with its aesthetics. Completely skeletonised, this traditionally highly functional element is now an integral part of the design of the timepiece, enhancing the architecture of the calibre, enriching visual perception and bringing further lightness too.
Reimagining the iconic Bird on a Rock with the world’s rarest pearls by Mariam Yasin
“For me, the art of jewelry is, first of all, a means of expression, providing possibilities for pure and durable beauty that are outside the usual framework of fashion.” — JEAN SCHLUMBERGER
Jean Schlumberger (1907–1987) created jewelry and objects of unparalleled beauty. He was a man of refined taste—an artist who conceived spectacular jeweled statements with an incredible sense of dimension and life. Deeply imaginative, Jean Schlumberger’s magnificent creations are enduring icons that reflect both the artist’s ingenuity and the technical virtuosity of Tiffany’s expert craftsmanship. The legendary partnership between Tiffany & Co. and Jean Schlumberger began in 1956, when Walter Hoving, then chairman of Tiffany & Co., asked Schlumberger to join the company as vice president. Schlumberger created some of Tiffany’s most iconic designs including the Bird on a Rock clip, his intricate paillonné enamel bangles and bold colored rings, the Cooper bracelet and the Sixteen Stone diamond ring.
Bird on a Rock
Revered by style leaders and connoisseurs for its design excellence, timeless style and colorful optimism, here are 5 facts to know about Jean Schlumberger’s Iconic Bird on a Rock:
1. The iconic Bird on a Rock resembles the Yellow Cockatoo or Cockatiel bird. It is believed that the design was likely inspired by this bird and Jean’s brilliant imagination.
2. The unmounted 128 carat Tiffany Yellow Diamond was re-mounted for the second time ever on a Schlumberger design – making the Bird on a Rock a global icon.
3. Ranging from 15 to 120 carats, the stones are selected based on their beauty, shape, depth and color intensity. Sourced responsibly, carefully hand selected – each stone is completely unique.
4. The design is available in three styles: Oval, Cushion & Emerald, as well as featured in an array of colorful gemstone colors.
5. A fabulous style statement for both men and women alike, The Bird on a Rock brooch can be worn in so many ways.
Bird on a Pearl
The iconic Bird on a Rock, re-envisioned. Handcrafted with the world’s rarest pearls, each Bird on a Pearl design is a breathtaking expression of Jean Schlumberger’s style. As the diamond encrusted bird motif takes flight, it spreads its wings for the first time—showcasing exquisite natural pearls in this high jewelry capsule collection.
This exclusive high jewelry capsule collection reimagines the iconic Bird on a Rock brooch with the world’s rarest pearls. Jean Schlumberger’s signature bird, perched on a gemstone, evolves into a suite of exquisite creations set with the most impressive natural saltwater pearls.
Sourced in the Gulf region and acquired from Mr. Hussein Al Fardan’s private collection, these natural saltwater pearls are recognized as the rarest and most extraordinary in the world. Crafting an entire collection with natural saltwater pearls is an extraordinary achievement. Each pearl is unique and prized for their size, shape and unrivaled luster. Tiffany is the first jewelry house to purchase from Mr. Hussein Al Fardan’s highly coveted private collection of natural pearls.
The Rarity of Natural Saltwater Pearls
The Bird on a Pearl collection is a testament to Tiffany’s legacy in uplifting the most extraordinary and rare gemstones in the world. Out of 10,000 wild oysters, only one will yield a natural pearl suitable for jewelry and of this small number, only a fraction are considered Tiffany quality. The rarity in crafting an entire collection of natural pearls that all possess superlative luster, color, shape and size is groundbreaking. Natural pearls are no longer commercially fished because of their extreme rarity as a result of overfishing coupled with advances in culturing pearls.
Bird on a Pearl Collection
“Crafting an entire collection with natural saltwater pearls is rarely achieved. It is an extraordinary opportunity for our clients to have access to such a prestigious collection of natural saltwater pearls, and for these pearls to be set in designs that pay homage to one of Tiffany’s most iconic creations.” – Vicky Reynolds
Blue Book Doha Exhibition
This past February, Tiffany & Co. hosted an exclusive celebration to unveil Bird on a Pearl, a high jewelry collection that reimagines the iconic Bird on a Rock brooch first created by Jean Schlumberger in 1965. The designer’s signature bird, perched on a gemstone, evolves into a suite of exquisite creations with remarkable natural saltwater pearls. The celebration was commemorated with a gala dinner for over 250 guests held at the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar. Notable attendees included Yousra, Elyanna, Dorra Zarrouk, Sumaya Rida and more donning in Tiffany & Co. jewelry.
Collection Highlights
Collection Masterpiece
Tiffany designers brilliantly honored Jean Schlumberger’s bird by re-envisioning it taking flight for the first time. The iconic bird spreads its wings and soars across an exquisite three-strand necklace, composed of graduated near-round natural saltwater light cream pearls of over 371 total carats. It takes decades to complete just one strand of natural pearls with uniform shape, color and luster. Achieving a perfectly matched three-strand necklace of natural saltwater pearls is exceptionally rare.
Front Facing Bird
The Bird on a Pearl revisits an icon. Tiffany designers focused on celebrating the original Bird on a Rock by infusing it with the natural sense of movement that Jean Schlumberger designs are so known for. While some designs maintain the bird’s original left-facing stance, this pendant and earrings features the bird in a front- facing position.
Bird on a Pearl Brooches
The Bird on a Pearl capsule pays tribute to Jean Schlumberger’s beloved Bird on a Rock brooch. This is the first time a pearl has ever been showcased in the legendary Tiffany design. The capsule collection will feature seven Bird on a Pearl brooches in varying colors, shapes and sizes, allowing the client to choose their favorite.
Discover more Bird on a Rock exquisitely exclusive pieces on display in the Schlumberger Room at Tiffany & Co Dubai Mall boutique starting April 15th, 2023.

New launches Watches & Wonder 2023 by Mariam Yasin
With several outstanding novelties released, this year Hublot truly showcases its mastery in state-of-the-art materials.
Big Bang Integrated Tourbillon Full Carbon
For more than two decades, the philosophy of Hublot’s Nyon-based manufacture has extended to every aspect of contemporary watchmaking: fusing materials, finishes, designs, colours, alloys, techniques and aesthetics. As illustrated in the new Big Bang Integrated Tourbillon Full Carbon.
Weighing only 68 grams, this limited edition model, with only 50 pieces issued, fuses traditional Fine Watchmaking with Hublot’s cutting-edge spirit. To begin, the watch comprises two genuine complications: the tourbillon and the micro-rotor. As for the tourbillon, Hublot has designed it to be skeletonized and suspended, integrated within a bottom plate doted with transparent sapphire bridges.
Square Bang Unico Diamonds
This year Hublot is unveiling eight new exclusive variations of the Square Band Unico. The watchmaker has focused its attention on two models in particular, the first in titanium, the second in King Gold, an 18-carat gold alloy with copper and platinum to give it a redder hue than the 5N gold. Each model is available in four different setting levels for eight different references.
In the first level, the bezel is set with 44 white diamonds totalling 1.9 carats with the second level a more jewelled version where the case is also paved with 138 white diamonds totalling 3.3 carats. The third level moves very clearly towards a piece of jewellery with the bezel draped in 50 baguette diamonds. The case, set with 94 diamonds, brings the number of diamonds to 144 with well over 4 carats (4.4 carats precisely).
The fourth level reaches new heights – a piece of ‘high jewellery’. In all, 285 diamonds adorn the case, with both the bezel and dial entirely set in diamonds, achieving a total of almost 18 carats. Each piece (in white gold or King Gold) has an invisible setting, a jewellery technique where the claws holding the stones appear to disappear, creating the feeling that they are simply and delicately placed flush with the gold or titanium.
Square Bang Unico Sapphire & Square Bang Unico Ceramic
Exhibiting the Maison’s exceptional skills through the use of sapphire, the Square Bang Unico Sapphire is offered in a limited run of 250 pieces. Despite the two-fold challenge of its square format and the case’s multi-layered sapphire construction, Hublot’s engineers have successfully ensured that this timepiece is water-resistant to a depth of 5 ATM.
The renowned Unico movement, manufactured in-house, has also retained all the distinct features on which its reputation is founded. Set at 4 Hz (28,800 vib/h) and offering a 72-hour power reserve, is the prestigious automatic column-wheel flyback chronograph calibre known as the HUB1280.
The Square Band Unico is also offered in ceramic – in white or black magic.
Classic Fusion Chronograph Orlinski
Lovers of both art and extreme precision are united in this new chapter of the collaboration, devoted to the Classic Fusion Chronograph Orlinski. With this unique watch comes a 41 mm case that sits perfectly on any wrist. When the magic of fusion reaches a new peak, the watch becomes a true work of art.
Both utterly unique, one is worn with the iconic black rubber strap while the other extends its three- dimensional silhouette along the entire watch, a huge technical feat that combines comfort with aesthetics. In this new collection, the micro-blasted titanium gives the facets a matt finish for an added touch of elegance. With their striking dodecagonal shape – the signature mark of Hublot’s collaboration with Richard Orlinski since 2017 –the bezel transforms into a polygon. These Classic Fusion Chronograph Orlinski watches have the HUB1153 automatic chronograph movement at their heart.
Takashi Murakami
At an exclusive event which took place at the Glass House in New York on February 2nd, Hublot and Takashi Murakami announced their fourth joint artistic project: the launch of thirteen new NFTs and thirteen unique timepieces. This announcement represents a continuation of past projects, by rewarding the first buyers of the watches and collectors of the first NFTs through an exclusive approach.
These NFTs are linked to a limited edition of 13 new and unique Classic Fusion watches at Watches & Wonders 2023 in Geneva. Twelve of these watches will be available for purchase exclusively online on a platform, which can only be accessed by owners of at least one of the 324 NFTs issued in April 2022 as part of the third collaboration between Hublot and Takashi Murakami.
New LIFE collection featuring Taylor Hill by Mariam Yasin
A celebration of life, love and creation is encapsulated in LIFE, the new fine jewelry collection from MARLI New York. A reflection of time and eternity, with LIFE in perpetual motion, in which the brand introduces rings with a spinning movement along with internationally renowned model Taylor Hill as the face of the campaign and new designs.
A row of MARLI New York’s signature pyramid-shaped gemstones appears as a ring and hinge bracelet, available in 18K rose gold and white gold. From the harmony of green agate to the playfulness of pink opal, the gemstone pieces cultivate contrasts with twin rows of shimmering pavé and paved inner bands. Because diamonds embody purity and wholeness, a ring and hinge bracelet with diamonds only are available in 18K rose gold, white gold and yellow gold.
“At the heart of the LIFE collection is this notion that there are many ways of moving forward, even when all stands still,” says Founder & CEO of MARLI New York Maral Artinian.
Celebrating 60 years of the TAG Heuer Carrera by Mariam Yasin
This Watches and Wonders 2023, TAG Heuer celebrates the 60th anniversary of a global icon: the TAG Heuer Carrera. For six decades, the Swiss watchmaker’s timeless model has defined performance watch design, racing spirit, and the culture of success
Carrera Plasma
TAG Heuer’s breakthrough, Diamant d’Avant-Garde technology enabled the Swiss luxury watchmaker to use lab-grown diamonds for the first time ever, in 2022, on a chronograph case, crown, dial, and indexes. The case includes 4.3 carats of 48 lab-grown diamonds, while the bezel features 26 for a total of 1.9 carats, and the bracelet holds 34 for a total weight of 1.9 carats.
The crown is a single 2.5-carat lab-grown diamond, optimized in growth and cut for the sharpest, cleanest fit. Just as impressive is the watch’s top-of-the-line movement, the Calibre Heuer 02 Tourbillon Nanograph.
Carrera Chronograph Glassbox
The chronograph novelties are presented in two models: one with a signature blue dial on a blue calfskin leather strap, and a second with a racier, black-and-silver “reverse panda” dial. Inside both iterations of the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph is an evolved version of TAG Heuer’s in-house automatic chronograph caliber, the Heuer 02.
The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon follows the same design principles and shares a base form with the new TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph, only it has a dial elevated by an aperture at 6 o’clock that reveals a tourbillon cage.
Carrera Chronograph
Inspired by the handsome, ageless design of the original 1963 Heuer Carrera, the new TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph propels a heroic story into the future with fresh, dynamic styling and a tank full of racing spirit.
There are two new collection pieces, both with 42-mm stainless steel cases. The distinction is in the dial: a choice of blue or black, both decorated with vivid orange detailing that recalls classic race car speedometers. The new models are powered by TAG Heuer’s in-house automatic chronograph Heuer 02 movement. Both are finished with high-end calfskin straps.
Carrera Date 36mm
In the 60th anniversary year of its evergreen, racing-inspired sports watch, TAG Heuer is delighted to introduce an all-new version of the TAG Heuer Carrera Date 36 mm. Colorful new dials, a new tapered bracelet design, and an upgraded movement complete the core collection model’s rebirth.
Aquaracer Professional Full Gold
TAG Heuer is delighted to introduce the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 – a pair of solid 18-karat-gold watches, one features case and bezel in solid 18-karat 5N rose gold, and the other in solid 18-karat 3N yellow gold, powered by the new manufacture Calibre TH31-00, which delivers an 80-hour power reserve – into the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional collection.
Inside both models is a new automatic manufacture movement, created according to the principles of high-end mechanical watchmaking – the Calibre TH31-00, codeveloped by TAG Heuer and AMT, a high-end Swiss movement manufacture based in la Chaux-de-Fonds.
Novelties at Watches and Wonders 2023 by Mariam Yasin
Parmigiani Fleurier speaks the language of rarity, meaning, form and content, traits shared by all the new models presented at Watches and Wonders 2023.
TONDA PF MINUTE RATTRAPANTE
The TONDA PF GMT Rattrapante caused a sensation in 2022 as a world premiere reinterpreting the meaning of horological “complication” by propelling it towards intuitive innovation. The TONDA PF Minute Rattrapante’s birth was guided by the idea of reinterpreting one of the most common watchmaking functions while helping it evolve to become an absolute innovation. The basic premise: to perform the function usually operated by the graduated bezel on a diver’s watch via the movement itself. The result: user friendliness, excellent legibility and apparent simplicity right the way through to activating the function- serving to display the minutes in five and one-minute increments respectively.
TONDA PF GMT RATTRAPANTE
This iconic timepiece returns in 2023 in an integral 18ct rose gold version, graced with a Milano blue dial featuring a finely barleycorn guilloché pattern. Beneath this traditional watch face lies a complication powering two superimposed hours hands, one in rhodium-plated gold and the other in rose gold. Pressing the 8 o’clock pusher makes the 18ct rose gold hand dedicated to local time perform a one-hour jump, revealing the rhodium-plated gold hand displaying home time. Once the dual-time information is no longer required, pressing the crown-integrated pusher enables the 18ct rose gold hand to resume its place above the rhodium-plated gold hand in the manner of a chronograph split-seconds hand.
CULTURAL CALENDARS TRIOGY SETS
Parmigiani Fleurier presents three timepieces displaying three different calendars: Gregorian, Islamic and Chinese. This exceptional trilogy, made in platinum, is issued in a strictly limited edition of three box sets, reflects the crossroads of culture, civilisation and history, as well as the fine watchmaking to which the brand gives unique meaning. Three collectors will thus have the pleasure of enjoying a calendar trilogy unique in the world.
PLATINUM, THE SIGNATURE OF PARMIGIANI FLEURIER
TONDA PF MICRO-ROTOR
Purity, refined minimalism and discretion have come to characterize the entire TONDA PF collection since its launch in September 2021. After steel with a platinum bezel, and after 18ct rose gold, the iconic TONDA PF Micro-Rotor is evolving into an all-platinum case, bracelet and dial version. The watch is driven by its ultra-thin 3mm self-winding movement with platinum microrotor, Calibre PF703. This enables a significant reduction of thickness, meaning the TONDA PF Micro-Rotor measures only 7.8 mm on the wrist, synonymous with comfort, refinement and elegance.
TONDA PF FLYING TOURBILLON
Platinum rules, in a version combining the precious metal with one of the supreme Haute Horlogerie complications: the Tourbillon. Following on from the 25-piece limited edition presented in 2022, this year’s TONDA PF Tourbillon features a special characteristic: its platinum dial appears in a Milano blue shade that is a favourite with Parmigiani Fleurier. Concealed beneath the Milano blue dial, the calibre developed within the Watchmaking Centre – a flying tourbillon movement with automatic winding via a platinum micro-rotor – reveals some of its 207 components through the transparent case back. This 32.6 mm-diameter Reference PF517 movement is accurate, lastingly reliable and finished to the highest fine watchmaking standards (bevelling, circulargraining, Côtes de Genève) and measures a mere 3.4 mm thick.
TONDA PF SPLIT SECONDS CHRONOGRAPH
Dedicated to short-time measurement, manual winding TONDA PF Chronograph Rattrapante, with its two column-wheels belongs in the category of exceptional watchmaking instruments and is powered by a movement beating at a rate of 5 Hz or 36,000 Vph. This reinterpretation comes with an entirely 18ct rose gold case and bracelet, delivered with an additional alligator leather strap secured by a pin buckle. This model allows the wearer to admire the 18ct rose gold movement with a barrel featuring the signature of Michel Parmigiani, who created it to mark his brand’s 20th anniversary. Featuring Calibre PF36, the movement of the TONDA Split Second Chronograph is a “racing machine” with 309 components, 35 jewels and a 65-hour power reserve.
