LADIES Just for her
HYSEK
HYSEK WATCH COMBINES fine watchmaking and exquisite aesthetics to craft its
IO Skeleton Tourbillon Joaillerie d’Art with its new “skeletonized jewel setting”
concept. The dial of this one-of-a-kind 45mm rose gold piece is dressed in 156
baguette diamonds following the contours of the manually wound skeletonized
and hand-decorated Hysek Caliber HW14, which powers the hours and minutes.
Using a concealed setting technique, not only are the supports hidden, but the
lower part of each diamond is unobstructed to allow light to maximally shine
through the individual stones.
The barrel of the movement is visible at 7 o’clock, and the tourbillon at 11 o’clock,
while the 1, 5, 7 and 11 diamond-set hour markers are on the flange of the baguette-
set bezel. The watch’s lugs are also set with baguette-cut diamonds, as is the case,
and the crown is set with six baguette-cut stones surrounding a seventh rose-cut
stone. In total, the Skeleton Tourbillon is embellished with 17.47 carats of diamonds.
It is fitted on an alligator leather strap. Price: call for pricing.

THE AVENUE C MINI MOON PHASE is part of the Avenue Collection, which recalls
the streamlined design of the Art Deco period. Its elongated 18-karat white or rose
gold rectangular case (15.6mm X 32.3mm)—gently cambered to sit comfortably on
the wrist—is set with 47 brilliant-cut diamonds. Emblematic of the collection, arches
decorate both ends of the case, designed as diminutive representations of the arched
doorway that leads to the Fifth Avenue flagship salon. Inside the minute track on the
mother-of-pearl dial, a series of engraved floral motifs emanate from the center, which
is embellished with a small, crescent-shaped aperture that reveals the moon phase
display. The quartz-driven timepiece is fitted on a brown pearl or dark gray pearl
alligator leather strap with an 18-karat gold buckle set with six brilliant-cut diamonds.
Price:$19,200 (rose gold) and $20,100 (white gold).
