hear her roar
Exotic, enigmatic and decidedly eye-catching, Gucci’s Secret Watch in gold (RM48,240) from its playful and eclectic Le Marche des Merveilles collection is more than just a pretty face. The quartz movement timepiece’s rotating feline head is carved into an antique 18-carat yellow gold case, with two gleaming nanette diamonds representing its eyes.
Gucci’s fingerprints are in its attention to detail. A pearl on the crown and the house’s bee motif engraved on the back of the 22mm case, for instance, infuses precious materials with the mysteries of time. Slide the head to one side and you’ll find a white mother-of-pearl dial underneath with antique gold-coloured hands, which contrast beautifully with the watch’s black lizard skin strap and yellow gold ardillon buckle.
