Looking the part
No, the workings exposed at the six o’clock position on this Raymond Weil 1212 watch are not a gravity-compensating tourbillon, although
that’s the initial impression.
Rather it’s the balance and
spring assembly held by
two bridges taking
pride of place here,
highlighting the
debut of the
brand’s first
in-house
mechanical
movement.
As to vital
statistics,
the case is
42.55mm
and the price
a very un-
tourbillon-
like $2950.

Warm and figgy
Create a deliciously inviting atmosphere at home with the Diptyque Figuier diffuser. The scent features notes of the bark, leaves and sap of the fig tree. $230.
Mecca Cosmetica
Ladylike touch
A boxy bag that fits only your essentials is an entirely elegant proposition. This brushed velvet and calf leather number from Prada is a chic addition. $4240.
