Helming the brand today are sisters Eleonora and Elisabeth, who use the past as the fuel for the present; inspiring and guiding Leonori’s style and spirit. Even as the designs evolve to stay relevant to the present trends and preferences, Leonori achieves the timeless combination of elegance and boldness.

Paolo Costagli is celebrated for its modern and distinctly bold designs. At the core of this sought-after brand is the creativity and technical expertise of its founder, Paolo Costagli. The clean geometrics, an acute attention to proportions and unique color combinations are a nod to the Italian landscape and architectural details of his upbringing in Florence and Venice. With his signature Brillante bracelet on permanent display at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, it is no surprise that Paolo is recognized as an authority in gemstones and statement rings.
Marina Bulgari’s adventurous and ambitious spirit led her to leave her family’s famed Maison in 1976 to launch Marina B. Determined and able to make her own name whilst honoring her family’s passion and heritage, Marina’s unique style became world-renown for its boldness and timelessness. Rich and opulent yet so very contemporary, Marina invented her own gemstone cuts whilst reinventing many others. She opened her first showroom in Geneva in 1978, which led to boutiques in Milan, Paris and New York. In its present day, Guy Bedarida brings the brand into the right now, with beautiful collections that continue to embrace Marina’s innovative style.
The connection over design and engineering was instant. Over a year, Rob in California and Marco in Geneva riffed on cars, music, watches and a shared fascination with mechanical icons, particularly the iconic sport-classic chronographs of the late 1960s and ‘70s. From this discussion an idea was born; to create mighty timepieces that would reimagine high-watchmaking. It was at this point that a decisive encounter with a third pillar of the collaboration took place. Marco shared his idea for a unique chronograph with famed Master watchmaker Jean-Marc Wiederrecht.
Over the last few decades, Jean-Marc Wiederrecht has forged a reputation as one of Switzerland’s greatest and most creative independent watchmakers. A fervent defender of authentic watchmaking, he is focused on preserving and developing its unicity, leading him to found Agenhor in 1996. Based in Geneva, Agenhor specializes in the design of complex mechanical modules for some of the world’s most prestigious brands. Jean-Marc’s experience, knowledge and inventiveness have earned Agenhor’s creations a number of prestigious awards, including several at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.

Khoe presents the exceptionally unusual Naked Diamonds. Generally, diamonds are set with prongs or bezels, but Naked Diamonds are drilled with precision lasers, after which craftsmen insert gold hoops through the hole by hand. This allows light to enter the diamond from every angle to give it a sparkle and shine that no other setting can achieve. Encapsulating the Zen Japanese lifestyle of simplicity and minimalism, the unique and distinctive Khoe jewellery designes are crafted to be suitable for daily use, and can be stacked and layered for maximum impact.
