Parmigiani Fleurier was founded in 1996 by Michel Parmigiani, a watchmaker from the Val-de-Travers trained in La Chaux-de-Fonds whose early career was built on the restoration of historic timepieces for the Sandoz Family Foundation. One of those projects, a carillon pocket watch made by Perrin Frères in the early nineteenth century, forms the direct inspiration for the Carillon Tourbillon Anniversaire, a grande complication limited to five pieces to mark the brand's thirtieth

Breguet Tradition Seconde Rétrograde 7037, 7038, 7097, and GMT 7067: Four New References Extend a Collection That Began in 2005
When Breguet introduced the Tradition collection in 2005, the premise was straightforward: invert the movement so that its architecture faces the wearer rather than the watchmaker. The bridges, mainplate, barrel, and gear train, elements that conventional watchmaking keeps out of sight beneath the dial, became the visual substance of the watch. An off-center time display at 12 o'clock sat within that mechanical landscape rather than over it.

Kalyan Jewellers reimagined the lariat as a back jewel at Cannes 2026. The result blurred the line between couture and high jewelry.
The lariat is one of jewelry's oldest silhouettes. A single continuous chain that loops through itself, falls in two strands, and terminates in a drop, it has existed in various forms since the 19th century and has been interpreted and reinterpreted so many times across the history of fine jewelry that finding something genuinely new to say with the format requires more than a different gemstone or a more expensive setting.

Beyoncé at Met Gala 2026: The Crystal Skeleton, the Headpiece and the Feathered Train That Took Several People to Carry
Beyoncé arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the evening of May 4, 2026, wearing her own skeleton. Not a reference to one, not a gothic motif lifted from fashion history and applied across a dress, but an anatomically precise rendering of the human body's bone structure, built in crystal over nude mesh and placed directly over the body it was mapping. She had not attended the Met Gala since 2016. This is what ten years of absence looks like when it ends.
