wo special features mark this anniversary in our latest issue. One is devoted to the Wonders of Nature that have inspired jewellers since time immemorial. The second is a reflection on Heritage, not as a past set in stone but as a force for creativity.

The quest of every jeweller, every watchmaker, every auction house is to preserve the essence of the past while reaching out to the present.

Indeed, the histories of watchmaking and jewellery read like the history of time itself: an art of continuity and wonder. Heritage, Wonders of Nature… two special features which echo each other and inspire the same conclusion: nothing truly disappears. Techniques, materials, inspirations are infinitely transformed and reinvented.

From Garrard’s 290 years to the 270 years of Vacheron Constantin, from the farsighted genius of Yves Piaget to the grace of Elsa Jin, from the botanical poetry of Boucheron to the tenderness of Pasquale Bruni, they each compose with the same invisible thread: living memory.

Heritage does not belong to an immutable past. It breathes, adapts, converses with nature and eras. From this emerges luxury’s greatest promise: creativity that aims not just for the stars but for all eternity.
