Cartier's cuff links are actually jewellery created from 18-karat gold with interchangeable links in precious wood, gold or polished stone. The colour and look can be adapted to suit the occasion. This year is the 100th anniversary of the founding of Alfred Dunhill and, to mark the occasion, the Unique and Rollagas lighters have been re-introduced. These are crafted from sterling silver and are available in reed and barley, or woven finishes. Each is individually numbered and hallmarked with the stamp of British quality, as were Dunhill's original designs of the early 1900s. The range also includes three sterling silver and enamel Unique lighters finished in blue, green and burgundy. A unique ''sunburst'' patterned panel is plated with fine layers of enamel, which create a stunning effect when light reflects from it. The effect of the sunburst finish is achieved by recessing the body of the lighter and engine-turning it by hand. The traditional enamelling process used by Alfred Dunhill to produce the Unique and Rollagas lighters has remained unchanged for more than five centuries. The technique requires four cycles of firing and refining of the glass until the final layer can be polished level with the lighter surface. Also from Dunhill is the sterling silver lighter range, with prices ranging from $7,250 to $9,750. Dunhill has also added new cuff links to its accessories range. One set recaptures the look of the 1930s, while the other complements the Sports and Chronograph watch ranges. The dumb-bells design combines gold plate, ruthenium plate, steel and gold, black, red or blue lacquers made popular in the Dunhill range of tubular tie bars. There are also the Gemstone embellished cuff links in steel and gold-plated combinations, set with black onyx, jade and sodalite gemstones. These colourful variations match the distinctive straps and bezels of the Sports and Chronograph watches. Caran d'Ache has leather accessories for the complete executive look. Each item is Swiss-made in soft calf skin, and imprinted with the Caran d'Ache hallmark, and complements quality writing instruments also from Caran d'Ache. The collection comprises a range of burgundy accessories, including a man's wallet, identity card holder, pocket address book and key-ring case. tail from $270 for the lighter case, $360 for the pen case and $3,300 for a portfolio.

Two types of leather are used in the collection - Russian grain calfskin and crocodile. Both are dyed in a deep navy blue, the signature colour of Chaumet.
