A miniature big cat, three colorful watches, and plenty of silver and gold: Here are our latest finds from the sparkling world of watches and jewelry.
We Love
Summer, Sun, Silver, and Gold
When we think of summer, the first things that come to mind are hot rays of sunshine, the beach, and the ocean. For its latest jewelry creations, however, Pandora drew inspiration from another, often overlooked symbol: “This collection stems from one of the most fleeting yet refreshing moments of the season: the summer rain,” say Pandora Creative Directors Francesco Terzo and A. Filippo Ficarelli. Nature is, after all, the best source of inspiration: organically shaped pendants and rings evoke rocky coastal landscapes, while gently curved bracelets reflect the flowing dynamics of wind and water. It’s hard to decide which pieces to wear. But you don’t have to, because the two-tone designs—made of gold-plated metal and sterling silver—are specifically designed to be mixed and matched.

New Edition
All good things come in threes
In spirituality, the number three symbolizes perfection. The same is true for Richard Mille. Three new, colorful versions of the “RM 07-01” mark the culmination of a design journey that began in 2021. The new variants are available in three ceramic colors: Blush Pink, Lavender Pink, and Powder Blue—each limited to 50 pieces. The material used is TZP ceramic—tetragonal zirconia polycrystal. This choice was made primarily for aesthetic reasons, but it is also the best option in terms of performance. Thanks to its stability, color intensity, and durability, these colorful timepieces retain their luster over the long term.

Nice to Have
Let the races begin
When Rolex launched the “Cosmograph Daytona” in 1963, it was designed primarily to meet the needs of professional race car drivers. Today, you don’t have to be a professional behind the wheel to enjoy this now-legendary watch. Especially when the color scheme is so beautiful: The new version of the “Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona” combines the luminosity of the white enamel dial with the metallic effect of the anthracite-colored bezel.

Limited Edition
Race Against Time
Among watch collectors, the motto right now is: put your elbows out, dig in your claws, and pull out your wallets. The new “Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon,” with its shimmering black aventurine dial and bright red tourbillon, is limited to just 150 pieces. But there are certainly more than 150 watch enthusiasts who would love to wear this 38.5-mm limited edition, crafted from titanium, on their wrist. Fashion fans might also be thrilled by this timepiece, as it was created in collaboration with Yoon and Verbal, the creative minds behind the design studio Ambush. “Red evokes the Earth’s core: the origin, the source of energy, and ultimately the beginning of our measurement of time,” says music producer Verbal. And Yoon Ahn, creative director of Ambush, adds: “Creativity is always in motion. You’re constantly evolving, renewing yourself, moving forward—and the design of this limited edition had to reflect that energy.”

Liebling
Tiger Tiger, burning bright
The tiger is the world’s largest big cat. Yet in just one century, humans have managed to destroy about 96 percent of its natural habitat. Only about 5,000 of these beautiful cats still roam freely in the wild. Perhaps Cartier’s “Haryma” necklace will help draw more attention to these elegant animals. It features a miniature version of the big cat: crafted from five Imperial topazes totaling 28.04 carats, along with white, yellow, and orange diamonds, as well as garnets.
