Vacheron Constantin.

Vacheron Constantin is smartly resizing its most coveted luxury sports line, officially expanding the Overseas collection with a duo of compact, non-diamond-set variations engineered for effortless daily wear.

Two new self-winding models join the family, both cased at 34.5mm, a size clearly built for smaller wrists without diluting any of the design cues that make the Overseas so instantly identifiable. The hexagonal Maltese Cross bezel remains the star of the show, standing proud on both references now that there’s no diamond setting to compete for attention.

Colour is where things get interesting: the 18K 5N pink gold version wears a lacquered dial in warm rose-gold tones, its sunburst satin finish paired with a velvety minutes track for genuine depth. Pink gold hour markers and hands, coated in blue Super-LumiNova, complete what Vacheron calls a study in monochromatic tones, though it reads more like quiet luxury with a bit of shimmer thrown in. The stainless steel edition takes the opposite approach entirely, dressed in a deep, lacquered red that feels bold without tipping into brash. White gold hour markers, also lit with blue Super-LumiNova, add just enough contrast to keep the dial from feeling flat.

Both watches arrive with Vacheron’s self-interchangeable strap system, meaning three looks for the price of one. The gold model comes with a white rubber strap, a white alligator strap and its pink gold bracelet, while the steel version swaps in a deep red rubber strap and a red alligator leather strap with tone-on-tone stitching, alongside its matching bracelet. No tools required, so switching from a morning run to an evening out takes seconds rather than a trip to the jeweller. Underneath sits the manufacture Calibre 1088/1, a mechanical self-winding movement with a 40-hour power reserve visible through a sapphire caseback, ticking away at 144 components and 24 jewels.

“Introducing more compact proportions is less about revisiting the past than about broadening the ways in which the watch can be worn and experienced today,” Christian Selmoni, Vacheron Constantin’s Style and Heritage Director, explains. “The Overseas has always been conceived as a versatile companion, and these new interpretations reinforce that philosophy.”

For Selmoni, the smaller sizing represents continuity – a way of linking the Overseas’ heritage to how people actually want to wear their watches now. Whichever colourway wins out, the new Overseas Self-Winding models make the case that daily wearability and personality don’t need to be mutually exclusive.

Tiffany & Co.

Tiffany & Co. is rewriting one of romance’s oldest rituals. The familiar refrain of ‘he loves me, he loves me not’ has long been tied to the uncertainty of falling in love. Now, the New York jeweller is giving it a decidedly more contemporary ending.

The House has unveiled its new ‘Love & Celebration’ campaign starring Oscar-winning actor Mikey Madison, introducing the Sixteen Stone by Tiffany solitaire engagement ring while broadening its long-running conversation around what love looks like today. Rather than centring solely on romantic relationships, the campaign celebrates the connections people build with themselves, their families, chosen communities and the moments that shape their lives.

The ring itself reinterprets one of Jean Schlumberger’s most enduring creations. Originally introduced in 1959 as the Sixteen Stone by Tiffany wedding band, the design became one of the legendary designer’s signatures through its distinctive crossed X-motif, representing love’s strength and lasting connection. For 2026, Tiffany & Co. evolves that heritage into a solitaire engagement ring, preserving Schlumberger’s sculptural language while introducing a new silhouette for a new generation.

The accompanying short film tracks Madison through a clever subversion of the old flower-petal ritual. Instead of waiting for someone else’s validation, the story ends with a simple affirmation: “I love myself.” Alongside the main cinematic feature, a series of craft-focused films document the development of the design, charting the exact precision, artistry and diamond expertise that have defined the house’s workshops for nearly two centuries.

As ideas surrounding commitment, identity and partnership continue to evolve, engagement jewellery has become less prescriptive, with personal meaning taking precedence over tradition. Tiffany’s latest chapter acknowledges that shift without abandoning its heritage, instead allowing one of its most recognisable designs to speak to a wider definition of love.

Louis Vuitton.

Louis Vuitton knows exactly what summer packing looks like. The Maison’s new High Summer 2026 capsule arrives today, delivering an ultra-refined, suitcase-ready wardrobe built for effortless resort styling. Shifting seamlessly from the tennis court to coastal cocktail hours, the ready-to-wear lineup balances breezy, carefree holiday aesthetics with the house’s signature, high-craft savoir-faire.

This relaxed, sunny approach relies on sophisticated texturing, using clever trompe-l’œil effects to replicate the organic look of natural raffia. Standout knitted separates include a fluid cotton-ribbon crochet long skirt detailed with delicate ladder-stitch openwork, which pairs naturally with an elegant raffia-tweed jacket finished with white piping and a matching wrap mini skirt embroidered with a custom house crest. Key highlights on our wish list include the structural Monogram Denim Bustier, the chic Monogram Accent Trapeze Dress and the iconic LV Sneakerina trainers.

The Monogram branding undergoes its own seasonal transformation to match this lighter mood. The label has resurrected its signature ultra-light summer denim in an exquisite Flower Minigram print, mapping the miniature motif across a peplum top, zipped windbreaker and scalloped shorts. Sitting alongside it is the sporty-chic ‘Baby Stripes’ range, introducing crisp jersey sets punctuated with crystal-effect buttons and silver-embroidered logos that layer effortlessly under navy terry cloth jackets or white Monogram jacquard polo shirts.

The same light, distinguished tones carry over into the accessories, pushing the capsule straight into collectors’ territory. Leather goods premiere the Capucines Flowergram in fresh mint, fuchsia and lilac leather alongside the Low Key Hobo, which has been playfully re-engineered in yellow and blue deckchair-striped canvas. Demonstrating elite artisanal execution, a special Capucines Barcelona City Tour edition features entirely hand-painted, hand-embroidered leather that pays tribute to the colourful mosaic architectures of Parc Güell. Even the reversible silk ‘Promenade Parisienne’ squares – vibrantly printed in tangerine, terracotta and denim hues – are scaled to double as headscarves, beach bandeaus or halter-necks.

The ultimate highlight of the launch, however, belongs to the house’s historic trunk heritage. Celebrating the first anniversary of ‘The Louis’ – the massive, ocean liner-shaped architectural flagship anchored in Shanghai – the house has unveiled the Louis Boat Trunk. Crafted from a meticulously engineered mix of classic canvas, fine leather and natural wood, the miniature nautical object features a silver-tone LV anchor mechanism. Pulling the anchor activates a hidden lever that lifts the vessel’s top deck, exposing customised velvet compartments engineered to store watches, high jewellery and evening accessories.
