Catch up on this week’s most noteworthy updates from the universe of luxury.
In our weekly TWIL series, we bring you the latest in luxury news from around the world. This week’s highlights: thoughtful gifts, courtesy of Montblanc and Chaumet, to celebrate the dads and father figures this Father’s Day; Rolls-Royce Motor Car’s bespoke Cullinan made in collaboration with Cyril Kongo, and Bell & Ross’ new aviation-themed BR-X3.
Father’s Day Gifts
Montblanc
At the heart of the selection is the iconic Meisterstück Gold-Coated 149 Fountain Pen, crafted in black precious resin with gold-coated details, a handcrafted Au 750 gold nib, and the signature Montblanc emblem. Celebrating the writing instrument’s centenary, the Meisterstück Traveller Limited Edition 1924 Fountain Pen introduces an innovative single-push filling mechanism, housed in coral-coloured precious resin with commemorative engravings marking the anniversary.
For work and creativity, the Thin Briefcase in khaki Sartorial leather combines sleek styling with practical modularity, while the Montblanc Digital Paper bridges handwriting and technology through its Digital Pen, intuitive search functions, and seamless document sharing. The MTB 03 In-Ear Headphones round out the modern essentials with premium sound, active noise cancellation, and a design inspired by the Meisterstück.
Completing the collection is the Star Legacy Full Calendar 42mm. Featuring an anthracite sfumato dial, moonphase display, and full calendar functions powered by the MB 24.30 automatic movement, the timepiece reflects Montblanc’s writing heritage through subtle nib-inspired details, including its interchangeable leather strap.
Chaumet
The Bee de Chaumet collection takes inspiration from the honeybee, a historic symbol of diligence, harmony, and strength. Its contemporary designs embody resilience and commitment—qualities often reflected in fathers who lead by example. Meanwhile, the Liens Évidence bracelet and ring celebrate the enduring bonds between loved ones. Defined by the collection’s signature intertwined motif, these creations express trust, affection, and connection, honouring relationships that continue to inspire across generations.
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars And French Artist Cyril Kongo Unleash A Bespoke Cullinan
“When I first saw Black Badge Cullinan, I felt compelled to create my own interpretation of the universe it belonged to what I call ‘The Kongoverse’. It is a place of fantasy, mathematical formulas, symbols, pyramids, atoms and imagined planets.” So says the French painter and graffiti artist Cyril Kongo. The result? A quintet of exuberant private commissions with veneers and leather interior surfaces hand-painted by the artist.
Among the many firsts on this custom project, which was curated through Rolls-Royce Motor Cars’ private offices in New York, Seoul, and Goodwood, is the marque’s first-ever gradient coachline, to match the colours of its brake callipers and interior accents. On the foundational black hue, the artist brings forth ‘The Kongoverse’ with bursts of colours: Phoenix Red for the driver’s seat, as well as Forge Yellow and Mandarin for the rear. Meanwhile, the hand-painted Starlight Headliner is turned into a dance of planets, constellations, and eight shooting stars, with a final ‘star’ spanning the entire length of the ceiling—yet another Rolls-Royce first.
Louis Vuitton Enhances Its Colour Blossom Collection With A Timepiece
The maison’s fine jewellery line now introduces new watches in conjunction with its iconic Monogram motif’s 130th anniversary. Four versions of the timepiece appear in a 26mm case, including a precious version set with nearly one carat of diamonds, a white mother-of-pearl dial, and a pink gold case, complemented by a muted brown strap. Crafted in either gold or steel, the case is sculpted as the sun-shaped Monogram Flower, featuring an elegant, hand-polished pebble-shaped profile which reflects the signature curved shape of the gemstones in the Colour Blossom jewellery collection. La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton’s watchmaking expertise is further displayed on the dial’s tone-on-tone railtrack motif, which required the incredible technical expertise of stamping on a delicate gemstone dial.
Blancpain Enhances Its Ladybird Colours Collection With The ‘Nude Moka’ Shade
A new colour of natural hues that sits on the wrist like a second skin, Nude Moka, joins Blancpain’s existing palette of 10 shades as part of its Ladybird Colours collection. The pièce de resistance of the timepiece is a nacre perlée dial, the rarest form of mother-of-pearl used in watchmaking, which requires meticulous extraction. The feminine timepiece is available in the Pure and Precious versions: the former features two interlaced circles composed of 70 diamonds of more than two carats, while the latter is enhanced with an additional 152 diamonds of more than 2.4 carats. Driven by the in-house automatic calibre 1163L, it boasts a 4-day (100-hour) power reserve.
Piaget’s Cocktail Collection Celebrates The Colours And Craftsmanship Of High Jewellery
Playful and colourful, the Piaget Cocktail collection is about expression and individuality. Each ring sports an assortment of stones—whether they be tourmaline, aquamarine, citrine, emerald, or diamond—that evoke a contrast of emotions through fruit-forward imagery. Each ring is presented in two separate sections, so that they may be worn together as a statement or layered how you please.
Bell & Ross Introduces The BR-X3 Patrouille de France
Bell & Ross continues its partnership with the French aerobatic team with the debut of the BR-X3 Patrouille de France. The aviation-themed limited edition is their most ambitious version of their partnership yet, with a multi-layered case construction with exposed structural elements comprising shades of blue of the Alpha Jet, the helmet, and the flight suit. Despite its technical square case, the watch measures only 41mm in width and 13.3mm in thickness, which makes it suitable for everyday wear. The timepiece is powered by the Calibre BR-CAL.323, developed exclusively for the House by Kenissi and comes with a five-year warranty. The timepiece is limited to 250 pieces.
