Cartier Ladies' Ballon Bleu The Ballon Bleu by Cartier is a distin- guished yet delicate 33 MM women's watch set in yellow gold, encircled by .90 carats of brilliant diamonds. While this watch radiates at first glance, the subtle details apparent upon closer in- spection are what truly set it apart. The minute and second hands are shaped as tiny swords of a blue-steel hue, the watch's crown is fluted and embel- lished by a sapphire cabochon, and the dial glistens a lacquered opaline topped with bold Roman numerals. The linked bracelet is available in a polished or satin-finish. Symbolic of the Cartier Ballon Bleu collection, this piece floats effortlessly through time. Grand Seiko Men's Spring Drive Limited Edition SBGA384 Part of a limited-edition collection of only 50 pieces by Grand Seiko, this watch is the first model by the maker de- signed exclusively for the United States. The piece is a blend of innovative style and traditional Grand Seiko designs. The front case is rimmed in a matte rose gold that matches the watch's hands and Roman numerals. The dial of the watch reflects a Japanese painting technique reminiscent of Kabuki actors. Additionally, the watch is adjusted to caliber 9R15, equipped with water and magnetic resistance, and has a power reserve display. The brown crocodile band further enhances the masculinity of this distinctive limited edition piece.

Functional, styl- ish, and masculine, the Refer- ence is sure to become a classic in the Patek Philippe collection. V U E N J . C O M 63
