Last year, it received an update to […]

Breguet is recognised on a global scale for its commitment to creating refined feminine wristwatches, particularly those from the Reine de Naples collection, which is now considered the brand’s best-selling line for women. Its timepieces are inspired by a bracelet watch from yesteryear, crafted from hair and gold thread. It was one of the world’s […]
Cuervo y Sobrinos is a Swiss brand based in Le Noirmont, but it has deep Latin roots with design influences from its earlier years in Havana, Cuba.
