Hugging the wrist - Straps
2 minutes read
Whether stunningly elaborate or discreetly understated, a strap moulds the wrist with inimitable elegance. More than just an accessory, it reveals the very soul of the watch. So which do you fancy most : crocodile or galuchat ?

Asymétry
A nonconformist approach can also be precious. Witness the Crash watch by Cartier with its asymmetrical dial inherited from its pop-art origins, teamed with a delicate bracelet entirely paved with white gold drops. In a nod to the year of its birth, this legendary and highly selective watch is used in a limited numbered edition of just 67. A must-have.
 

Sensuality
Luxurious serenity and voluptuous pleasure : such are the emotions naturally aroused by the latest addition to the Limelight Gala collection by Piaget. The round case sublimated by two elegant elongated lugs set with diamonds, and the classically contemporary dial, makes a perfect match with the refined strap in black satin – a quintessentially sensual material. The very fabric of a gala queen.

Lizard
Iconic jewellery watch meets reptile leather. The new Baby- Graff range with its facetted case and sparkling dial comes in 4 flashy colours : white, red, blue and green. This quintessential watch for glittering evenings is adorned with a lizard skin strap, either in black or matching the gemstone colours, that wraps itself gracefully around the wrist of elegant ladies. Skin against skin.
 

Baroque
A merry breeze is blowing through the Tondo By Night collection, as de Grisogono offers a vibrant reinterpretation of its contemporary baroque style with eight models in summery colours that sparkle by day and night thanks to an unusual luminescent material. The strap made of galuchat – ornamented shagreen, a hide made from bony sharkskin or stingray leather covered with placoid scales ground down to create rounded pale protrusions – ideally enhances the radiance of the watch. Ideal for harpooning an oil magnate.

Happy birthday
The Chopard icon celebrates its 20th anniversary with the new Happy Sport Medium Automatic. Elegant, sophisticated and unwaveringly loyal to the original Happy Sport, it features a guilloché silver-toned dial making an ideal backdrop for the brilliant glow of its seven moving diamonds. Its 36 mm-diameter steel case is water-resistant to 30 metres and fitted with an elegant black alligator leather strap. Truly delectable.
 

La vie en rose
Its vibrant colour carries an aura of roses and violets. Lipstick pink is the star colour at Hermès in 2013. A fresh and flirty shade adopted by the Arceau Lipstick watch featuring a case inspired by the brand’s cherished equestrian world. Available in steel with a matt white dial, this model is fitted with a Lipstick pink smooth calfskin strap adorned with tone-on-tone saddle stitching. Glamorous through and through.
