\n\n\n\nAn icon for Van Cleef & Arpels and luxury watches in their entirety, the Lady Arpels Pont de Amoureux watch perfectly pairs the immeasurable concept of time with the infiniteness of love. Launched in 2010 as part of the brand\u2019s Poetic Complications Collection. The Lady Arpels Pont de Amoureux watch is a beautifully handcrafted work of art. An 8mm white gold case encompasses round diamonds amounting to 105 stones and 2.94 carrots of elegance embezzled into the poetic justice that is captured with the notion of being in love around the clock. As the two sweethearts wind their way over the sculpted Pont des Arts bridge to the 12 o\u2019clock mark, under the stars they unite, in time and love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nPure elegance and evolving relevance, Paris\u2019 oldest embroidery atelier is quite a feat. Originally founded as Michonet in 1858, a go-to for Paris\u2019 elite, Albert and Marie-Louise Lesage purchased the atelier in 1924. Shortly after taking the reins, the Lesage\u2019s attracted designers such as Elsa Schiaparelli<\/a> with their avant-garde embroidery designs and went on to collaborate with many of fashion\u2019s greats including Givenchy, Dior, Balmain and more. In 2002, longtime client Chanel purchased Lesage<\/a>, still free to works for other houses, as part of their efforts to preserve craftsmanship. A Design Statement icon through and through, despite the evolving fashion industry, Lesage has managed to show us why handwork embroidery, when done correctly, is a timeless technique that produces unreplicable results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nThe routes of the legendary double C that changed our fashion world forever, are located on Paris\u2019 Rue Cambon. It was at No. 21 that Gabrielle \u201cCoco\u201d Chanel<\/a> opened her hat shop \u201cChanel Modes\u201d in 1910. Not staying undiscovered for long, in 1918 her undeniable talents lead her to the larger space needed to grow her empire \u2014 the entire building at No. 31. Although never actually spending nights there, Chanel put down roots in this lavish yet intimate setting atop her boutique. <\/p>\n\n\n\nTruly reflective of their inhabitant, each room featured crystals, mirrors, and treasures galore. Imagine the tales those walls would tell! It was they who were there as she battled her fear of being alone and mourned the tragic loss of the \u201clove of her life\u201d and muse Captain Arthur \u201cBoy\u201d Capel. It was those walls that bore witness to her creative genius and the evolution of the iconic fashion house<\/a> we are so blessed to know today.
