Lovers of equestrian excellence were treated to the first ever edition of the Concours Hippique International de Genève, better known as CHI Geneva, a highlight of the annual show-jumping calendar to this day.

Feng J has long been influenced by the artist in the impressionistic way she sets her rose-cut gemstones like dabs of watercolour in overlapping layers on her nature-inspired jewels. “My first encounter with Monet,... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/jewellery/article/3373485/chinese-high-jewellery-how-feng-j-anna-hu-and-michelle-ong-are-fusing-styles https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/jewellery/article/3373485/chinese-high-jewellery-how-feng-j-anna-hu-and-michelle-ong-are-fusing-styles Tue, 10 Nov 2026 00:00:16 +0000 Josiah Ng Josiah Ng Audemars Piguet has had a bumper month, launching its own certified pre-owned programme, high jewellery lines and also releasing a trio of Supersonnerie pieces.

Tough enough for decades of daily wear, and easy to source compared with precious metals like gold or platinum, stainless steel is getting the jewellery treatment, cropping up in some of the most desirable new collections, not just as a cheaper substitute for gold – currently priced at an all-time high – but for its own unique qualities.

It climbs, curls and spreads with little regard for where it is supposed to stop, taking over walls and trees with its fast-growing natural architecture. For Frédéric Boucheron, that freedom was precisely the attraction.

Now, for 2026, the collection has been completely redesigned – and its new retro look has made it even more handsome than ever. With the introduction of new models, including the first monopusher chronograph in the collection, this dramatic reinvention is being supported with a campaign that shines appropriately brightly... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/watches/article/3366920/style-edit-longines-master-collection-gets-2026-redesign-and-new-monopusher-chronograph https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/watches/article/3366920/style-edit-longines-master-collection-gets-2026-redesign-and-new-monopusher-chronograph Thu, 10 Sep 2026 02:00:13 +0000 Carla Thomas Carla Thomas Post Malone is someone who’s always been hard to define, whether you’re talking about his genre-blurring music or his approach to collecting luxury watches. The singer-songwriter, musician and businessman has built a multimillion-dollar fortune over a decade-long career, making him one of the bestselling artists of his generation.

For Abraham-Louis Breguet, that moment came at the turn of the 19th century. In the pocket watches of his era, the balance and hairspring were particularly vulnerable to the effects of gravity with the watch remaining in a vertical position for extended periods. His solution was not to fight gravity, but to keep the regulating mechanisms moving... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/watches/article/3366627/style-edit-breguets-tourbillon-legacy-and-its-enduring-role-watchmaking-history https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/luxury/watches/article/3366627/style-edit-breguets-tourbillon-legacy-and-its-enduring-role-watchmaking-history Tue, 08 Sep 2026 02:00:16 +0000 SCMP Style Reporter SCMP Style Reporter No other Swiss luxury watchmaker constantly pushes back the boundaries of the possible quite like Richard Mille.

During World War II, when platinum had to be mainly used for weaponry, Western jewellers turned to yellow gold.

Sorbet shades of peach, baby blue, butter yellow, mint and pink have all tinged the hottest new timepieces, splashed across everything from dials and straps to hi-tech ceramic cases.

Naturally this is a world that Rolex understands well: from the pursuit of speed and endurance down the years to the preservation of the remarkable machines of each era, the Swiss watchmaker has long championed the people and ideas that keep pushing this – and other sporting endeavours – forward.
