In 1953, Marilyn Monroe sang “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.” A lot has changed and evolved since then — and while precious stones have lost little if any of their sparkle, in recent times, luxury watches have put up an exciting fight for the love, affection, and attention of women. Here are some of our favorite luxury timepieces for you that succeeded.
A micro-hotel within a factory, a grand courtyard inside a storied Milanese building: this is the Mua Mua Hotel, a project from Tom Dixon's Design Research Studio. Born as a temporary showcase for Dixon's collections during Milan Design Week, it has since opened its doors as a permanent hotel.
Purroy represents something important in contemporary tile design. She is multidisciplinary by necessity and conviction, committed to keeping centuries-old ceramic craftsmanship in dialogue with modern digital techniques. For Purroy, luxury means care, not cost, and that conviction runs through every firing, every layer of gold, every surface that leaves her studio.
The new 101 Secrets is built around a rather elegant refusal to show off the one thing a watch is supposed to show. Time, kept quietly.

Led by Mike Veale, the Global Conservation Force runs one of the most demanding ranger training programmes in the world. Four spots per year are open to non-Africans. I applied. I wasn’t sure I would make it.
Antoine Musy took a break from his wild and wonderful adventures to speak with us about his incredible career—and, more importantly, to explain what to do when locked eye-to-eye with a gorilla in the jungle.
Miyake may have passed in 2022, but his thinking feels more alive than ever. Under the creative direction of Satoshi Kondo, the Homme Plissé team continues not by imitation, but by carrying forward Miyake’s questions: What is clothing in a changing world? How can fabric enable movement – physical, social, and emotional?
