Parmigiani Fleurier Introduces The Tonda PF Automatic 36mm Stainless Steel Alta Rosa
The Swiss brand continues to expand its Tonda PF Automatic 36 mm line with a new soft rose-hued dial, Alta Rosa, which translates to ‘High Pink’ in Italian. The subtle grooves of the Grain d’Orge hand-guilloché, which reveal its beauty only at close quarters, are presented in a stainless steel case and bracelet with the now-signature knurled platinum bezel. Powered by the in-house PF770 automatic manufacture calibre, the timepiece beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a 60-hour power reserve.

New Ultra-Contemporary Pieces Added To The Bee de Chaumet Collection

The versatile shape of a beehive in its natural state is reimagined in a combination of mirror-polished gold, pavé settings, and bezel‑set diamonds. A creative capsule ring graces the whole hand with subtle glimmers, while a creative capsule earring adorns the ear from top to bottom with splendour. The pavé bee has also been reinvented on two new pendants: one is crafted from yellow gold and set with white diamonds, while the other was created using white gold, covered in diamonds and sapphires.

Lladró Unveils Cascade, A New Lighting Collection By Lee Broom
Inspired by traditional paper lanterns, the collection celebrates the cultural and material roots of one of the most enduring lighting designs, dating back nearly 2,000 years. British designer Lee Broom explains, “I wanted to explore how light emanates through porcelain and how I could interpret this in a way that evoked another material, such as paper. I was captivated by the translucency of porcelain and the nuances from indentations and patterns. This reminded me of paper lanterns illuminated by candlelight, so I decided to create shapes and forms incorporating these qualities in a modernist way.” The collection features three distinct silhouettes of porcelain pendant lamps, all handcrafted at Lladró’s Valencia workshops and can be connected in multiple configurations, allowing users to create their own variations of cascading light compositions. The collection also includes a portable table lamp version.
The collection will be available at Lladró’s exclusive boutiques and select international retailers.

Housing 188 rooms and suites, the new property is crafted from century-old wood, reclaimed from Bohol’s ancestral houses. Throughout their stay, guests may indulge in time-honoured stories and folkloric traditions such as tribal dancing, traditional musical instruments, or visit the Sirenna Plane Wreck, which attracts a variety of tropical fish and oceanic dwellers.
