1. ASTRONOMIA ROSE GOLD WATCH -- JACOB & CO.

The Gravitational Triple Axis Tourbillon, designed by Jacob Arabo, founder of Jacob & Co, is encased under a dome of transparent sapphire crystal. This version, set in rose gold, is particularly sweet, but you might also like the white gold edition set with diamond baguettes.

In either case, this makes an amazing gift. It offers a 360-degree view of the watch’s complicated movement, with its gravitational tourbillon rotating on 3 axes.

Available at Jacob and Co.

2. RONDE DES PAPILLONS -- VAN CLEEF & ARPEL

Van Cleef & Arpels has expanded its Poetic Complications collection this year with the Lady Arpels Ronde des Papillons watch. It may look a bit prissy, with its butterfly motif, but this is a serious watch with complicated movement. It is one of the more technically advanced watches available today, with on-demand dial animation.

It features a white-gold case. Its bezel is set with diamonds. The case back features an intricate butterfly engraving.

3. PRIMAVERA -- MAISON GIAMPIERO

“Primavera” is the first watch collection ever designed and offered by jewelry design house Maison Giampiero.  The exclusive collection include 3 bejewelled secret watches. They are each set 1.45 carats of yellow diamonds, with pink sapphires, and emeralds, along with accents of white, yellow, cognac, and grey diamonds, all set in white and yellow gold. Each dazzling flower opens to reveal a secret timepiece with a diamond-set dial.

4. LACE COLLECTION -- JENNY WU

LACE is architecture you can wear. The intricate jewelry is fashioned from precious metals and composite materials.

Celebrities like Jessica Alba, Carrie Underwood, and Christina Aguilera have all worn Wu’s LACE jewelry. You too can purchase LACE pieces in Wu’s LACE Shop.  

Architect Jenny Wu has long been obsessed with the qualities of lace, as we’ve seen in the iconic designs produced by Oyler Wu Collaborative, the award-winning architecture firm that she co-founded with Dwayne Oyler in 2004.

Now, extending her design sensibilities to jewelry, Wu has created a new line of 3D-printed wearables. Wu’s LACE jewelry collection is stunning.

Marrying the latest rapid-prototyping, CNC milling, and 3D printing technologies with a contemporary interpretation of lace design, Wu’s jewelry utilizes the line-based geometries prevalent in her architecture.
