STARRING LENNY KRAVITZ AND ANYA TAYLOR-JOY LENNY KRAVITZ For almost two centuries, Jaeger-LeCoultre has designed, produced and assembled the calibres of many of the world’s most noteworthy timepieces. Within the walls of its Manufacture, La Grande Maison has created these movements not only for its own timepieces but also for many other prestigious watchmaking Maisons, consequently becoming known as the Watchmaker of Watchmakers. Guided by the principles of patience, humility, hard work and dedication to excellence, generations of engineers, watchmakers and craftsmen have built an exceptional legacy of know-how, and it is in tribute to its 190 years of history that Jaeger-LeCoultre proudly asserts its status as the Watchmaker of Watchmakers. Since 1833, the Manufacture has created more than 1,300 different calibres, an exceptional achievement in the world of watchmaking. No less remarkable is the award of more than 400 patents, including several that have left their mark on watchmaking history. "It’s about focus. When you know what you want to do in life, when you have a passion, you don’t give in to distractions. The way I feel about my art – literally, I breathe it. It is this focus that has enabled me to keep learning joyfully." ANYA TAYLOR-JOY For almost two centuries, Jaeger-LeCoultre has designed, produced and assembled the calibres of many of the world’s most noteworthy timepieces. Within the walls of its Manufacture, La Grande Maison has created these movements not only for its own timepieces but also for many other prestigious watchmaking Maisons, consequently becoming known as the Watchmaker of Watchmakers.

Since 1833, the Manufacture has created more than 1,300 different calibres, an exceptional achievement in the world of watchmaking. No less remarkable is the award of more than 400 patents, including several that have left their mark on watchmaking history. This unmatched creativity has been carefully nurtured and transmitted from generation to generation. Housing 180 skills within the walls of the Manufacture – embracing design, production, assembly, finishing and ornamentation – Jaeger-LeCoultre’s remarkable array of savoir-faire opens almost limitless fields of possibility. This is how the reputation of the Watchmaker of Watchmakers was earned and continues to be honoured. An Ode to the Genesis of Excellence In any creative endeavour, mastery comes from patience and dedication. Greatness is achieved by turning talent into skill, day after day, one small achievement after another. Passion is channelled into focus and commitment. Moments of inspiration are fuelled by years of learning. Expertise is built from countless small increments practised and perfected over time. Excellence evolves step by step. As in music, art, performance, literature, design, so it is in watchmaking. This is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manifesto. In Spring 2023, Jaeger-LeCoultre unites the talents of Global Ambassadors Lenny Kravitz and Anya Taylor-Joy in ‘The Watchmaker of Watchmakers’, a new campaign that reflects on the true source of success – an homage to the work that is done when nobody is watching; the years of practice it takes to perfect a gesture, a movement, a song, a word spoken to camera. In the short film that anchors the campaign, Anya and Lenny perform against a minimal backdrop, focusing the attention on the two artists. The dynamic interweaving of their stories builds into a powerful message about the unseen work that makes their creativity appear so effortless – a natural analogy to the art and craft of watchmaking. The film was directed by French visual artist and creative director Quentin Deronzier. The soundtrack called ‘Mount’ was produced by French musical duo The Blaze. Metaphors for Mastery For the new campaign Lenny wears the elegant and technically sophisticated Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon in Pink Gold, while Anya wears the refined and feminine Reverso Duetto Small in Pink Gold. The Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon turns from its classical Art Deco-style silver sunray-brushed front dial to a semi-skeletonised and intricately decorated reverse dial, displaying a second time zone with a night & day indicator. With its mechanical complexity enhanced by a highly innovative new tourbillon, the watch remains slim and elegant, at just 9.15mm thick. The day-to-night design of the Reverso Duetto Small displays the time on two dials with two very different moods, complemented by a bracelet of polished gold links. Sunray brushing anchors the classical restraint of the silver front dial, while the drama of black lacquer is highlighted by diamond-set gadroons on the reverse side. Since its birth in 1931, the Reverso has constantly evolved in the spirit of innovation and both of the models featured in the new campaign epitomise its limitless potential for reinvention, showcasing Jaeger-LeCoultre’s relentless quest for excellence in both technical development and aesthetic design. Honing Talent Through Time, Patience and Practice Celebrated for her portrayal of complex characters, to which she brings a rare and captivating intensity, Anya Taylor-Joy is one of the most talented actresses of her generation. Reflecting on the message behind ‘The Watchmaker of Watchmakers’, she says: "It’s about focus. When you know what you want to do in life, when you have a passion, you don’t give in to distractions. The way I feel about my art – literally, I breathe it. It is this focus that has enabled me to keep learning joyfully." One of the preeminent rock musicians of our time, an accomplished actor and successful designer, Lenny Kravitz makes his debut as a Global Ambassador for the Maison in this new campaign. Of his own path to excellence, he says; "In my creative process I want to be as far away from making conscious decisions as I can. I want it to flow, so most of the time I'm dreaming my music, my creations. They come, I pick them up and then I work on them, but they're pretty pure. This wouldn’t be possible without the years of learning and practice before I ever became professional – and the learning that I still do, every day." © Jaeger-LeCoultre AIM Global 2023 will shed light on the global investment scene and the need to formulate mechanisms and strategies that promote sustainable and green investment choices.

The cradle of fine jewellery, Switzerland has a culture of ancestral expertise. The events linked to the world of jewellery since 1968, especially with the growth in auction sales, have established Geneva’s reputation as the nerve centre and capital of fine jewellery. GemGenève has now established its presence in the international fair calender. FULI GEMSTONES – PERIDOT REIMAGINED BOOTH A85 HALL 1, GEMGENEVE, SWITZERLAND Morelle Davidson, United Kingdom (image 1&2, Image 3: J S Fearnley with vintage Buccellati bracelet, is just an example of the iconic creations that J S Fearnley has been supplying discerning dealers and collectors from around the world since 1986 with the rare and the fine in branded estate and vintage jewellery as well as collectible, untreated coloured gemstones. This show found its audience from its first edition in 2018, thanks to the impact of what it offers – a show created by exhibitors for exhibitors – as well as its pioneering nature. Exhibitors and professional visitors, designers and collectors from Switzerland and around the world responded to the call from GemGenève co-founders, Genevan jewellery experts, Thomas Faerber and Ronny Totah. Organised separately from the famous auctions, this show is a totally new genre, and offers a unique platform for expression dedicated to the world of coloured stones, exceptional diamonds, pearls, antique and contemporary jewellery, recognised designers and emerging talents. Oushaba was launched earlier this year, the brainchild of a trio of friends, art lovers and collectors including Gillian Carr who is now Managing Director. They describe their brand as a sustainable art and design house that breathes new life into forgotten materials, and their jewellery as wearable art showcasing artisanal craft skills and techniques. Their founding concept of sustainability and circularity is encompassed in their innovative debut collection, Connection Salvaged. The collection explores the connectivity of today’stechnology and its relationship with the precious resources that are its vital components and yet discarded as part of technology’s built-in obsolescence. The jewels are composed of fragments of electronic waste, set in recycled 22 carat gold, 18 carat white gold and silver, and accented with sustainably sourced diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires. The rings, necklaces, earrings, cuffs and cufflinks, each one- of-a-kind, made to order as limited editions, have the look of found treasure; objets trouvés; wondrous unearthed antiquities; futuristic fragments of the past. The name Oushaba comes from the Arabic word for ‘alloy’. Open to the public 11 – 14 May 2023, it offers the promise of guaranteed immersion in the heart of the different gemmology trades through exchanges, sharing, conferences and workshops. Last but not least, it has a high-end quality educational programme through its partnerships with a variety of schools, including keynote speakers, museum institutions and experts from around the world. Twice a year, in Spring and in Autumn, the Geneva Luxury Week - including GemGenève - promotes outstanding knowhow, creativity, and heritage by bringing together a number of events staged by leading brands, cultural institutions, and other luxury stakeholders spanning fine jewellery, art, watchmaking, precious stones, objets d’art, fine leather goods and design.

Saint Laurent is launching its first fine jewelry collection.In partnership with the Red Cross of Antibes, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc hosts the Red Cross Gala every year. The Cap-Eden-Roc, the legendary hotel on the French Riviera, was born of the desire of one man – Hippolyte de Villemessant, then owner of Le Figaro – to create an artists’ retreat on the Côte d’Azur. To do so, he chose Cap d’Antibes, a peninsula located between Antibes and Juan-les-Pins, and laid the first stone of his Villa Soleil in 1865. This elegant Napoleon III-style building, with symmetrical wings flanking the entrance and a huge staircase, opened five years later. Offering an unbeatable view over the Mediterranean and the Lérin Islands, it was the perfect spot to rekindle your creative spark! However, the establishment went bankrupt a few months after it opened due to the Franco-Prussian War. From an artists’ residence to a luxury hotel In 1877, a young hotelier from the Piedmont region, Antoine Sella, bought the property to turn it into a luxury hotel. It was inaugurated in 1889 under the name of Grand Hôtel du Cap. In the 19th century, the hotel season on the Riviera stretched from September to May, but in summer French high society took up residence on the Atlantic Coast. To attract a summer clientele, Sella would bank on luxury and excess. He had a superb seawater swimming pool sculpted into the rock of Cap d’Antibes, which would quickly become one of the jewels of the Côte d’Azur! Success was on the cards. Celebrities such as Picasso, Chaplin, Hemingway and Marlene Dietrich, to name just a few, flocked to it. But war very soon broke out again. Commandeered by the American Red Cross, the hotel was converted into a convalescent home during the First World War. The golden age of the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc At the end of the war, it was the time of the Roaring Twenties, which marked Cap-Eden-Roc’s heyday. The Americans and British discovered the Côte d’Azur and the luxury hotel saw the arrival of a new clientele. In the 1930s, the reputation of the hotel, which inspired Francis Scott Fitzgerald’s setting for Tender is the Night, was firmly established. Monarchs, aristocrats, politicians and artists all flocked to the Cap-Eden-Roc. Keen to offer the best to his guests, Antoine Sella had cabanas overlooking the sea built. The Kennedy family would stay there in 1939. The painter Marc Chagall also went there to draw inspiration in the shade of the century-old pines, just like Picasso, who even illustrated the restaurant menu. The Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc was celebrating its 70th birthday when the Second World War broke out. It would subsequently be occupied by the Germans and bombarded during the landings. The official hotel of the Cannes Film Festival Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc Address : 167-165 boulevard J. F. Kennedy City : Antibes Country : France Nearest airport : Nice-Côte d’Azur 1946 marked the beginning of the Cannes Film Festival and a prestigious evening event was organised at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc. Guests included Gary Cooper, Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo and Douglas Fairbanks. From then on, the luxury hotel’s history would be closely linked to the Film Festival. The hotel changed hands in the 1960s. Rudolf and Maja Oetker, a couple of German industrialists, fell in love with the place when they were sailing off the coast of Cap d’Antibes. They bought the property without even setting foot in it! In 1987, it became the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc as it is today. It is still frequented by stars: Madonna books suite 644 every year, while Sharon Stone, Robert de Niro and Gérard Depardieu are regulars. And since 2009, the most glamorous event at the Cannes Film Festival – the amfAR gala – has been held at this legendary address. This luxury hotel’s secret of success? The splendour of the premises undoubtedly counts, but its reputation is primarily down to the impeccable service and the total devotion of the staff.

Geneva Rare Watches | 13 May 2023 | 159 lots | low estimate CHF 16.9 million Following the success of Christie’s Geneva watch auctions in November 2022, which totalled CHF 55,548,348 and had sell-through rates of 100% and 99.11%, Christie’s is proud to present the Rare Watches auction, including a compelling selection of wristwatches from Rolex, Patek Philippe, F.P.Journe, Cartier and many more, taking place 13 May. As the top selling site for Rolex timepieces, Christie's Geneva reinforces it’s position, with highlights including a rare ‘Oman’ section featuring 7 vintage and modern Rolexes, properties of various owners, each made at the request of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said Al Said (1940-2020), the Sultan of Oman. These pieces include the Sea-Dweller Ref. 1665, and the Daytonas Ref. 6263, Ref. 6265 and Ref. 6269. It’s unusual for such a number of Omani models showcasing the Khanjar emblem or the signature of the Sultan himself to be offered, each in near perfect condition. Four rare Rolexes, designed for the Sultan of Oman in the 70s and 80s. Clockwise (fltr): Sea-Dweller Ref. 1665, Daytona Ref. 6263, Daytona Ref. 6265, Daytona Ref. 6269. Lot 28 - Rolex Ref. 1665 Sea-Dweller, with ‘Qaboos’ dial, made for the Sultan of Oman. Circa 1973. This exceedingly rare museum-worthy wristwatch is probably the finest example ever to be offered at auction, from the ultra-crisp angles, finishes and inscriptions of the case to the untouched, naturally age-patinaed bezel insert. The dial features the bright red signature of His Majesty Qaboos Bin Said, combined with tritium indexes which have developed a rich deep sand-coloured patina. One of the most interesting aspects of Rolex watches made for the Sultan of Oman in the 1970s is that the dials were specially designed only for the Omani models; for example the characteristic inscriptions for depth rating and ‘Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified’ of the standard 1665s Sea-Dweller of the period were removed to spotlight the red Qaboos signature. (Est: CHF200,000-300,000) Lot 29 - Rolex Daytona Ref. 6263, made for the Sultan of Oman. Circa 1974. One of only four known examples of its type, this stainless steel Ref. 6263 Cosmograph, retailed by Asprey, not only bears the signature of the Sultan of Oman in red on the dial, however also features a case that is engraved inside with the serial number and a caseback engraved with the signature of Asprey. Made in 1974, it’s an example of a timepiece presented by the Sultan himself and as such it has always been highly prized by its owners and therefore rarely worn. (Est: CHF600,000-1,200,000) Lot 30 - Rolex Daytona Ref. 6265, made for the Sultan of Oman. Circa 1978. This 18k gold Ref. 6265 made for Sultan Qaboos Bin Said of Oman is in excellent overall condition and still has the original Rolex reference sticker on the caseback; it is also furnished with a sumptuous Asprey Geneva red suede fitted box and accompanied by a pair of specially-made Caran d’Ache pens also emblazoned with the Omani Khanjar emblem. It is well known that during the period in which this extraordinary set was made, all watches created for the Sultan of Oman were sold through the London firm of Asprey in New Bond Street. What is less well known, is that from the mid-1970s, Asprey operated a showroom in Geneva, at 40 Rue du Rhone, opened following the end of the 1973 oil crisis when the spending power of Asprey's Middle Eastern customers visiting Geneva grew exponentially. The present Rolex Cosmograph is one of the very few watches known to have been supplied to the Sultan of Oman by Asprey in Geneva. (Est: CHF250,000-450,000) Lot 31 - Rolex Daytona 'Jack of Diamonds’, the earliest known Ref. 6269, made for the Sultanate of Oman. Circa 1985. Consigned by a private collector and epitomising the near-mint condition that all hope to find in a vintage Rolex, this awe-inspiring gold Cosmograph is one of only two publicly known examples of Ref. 6269 sold to the Sultan of Oman. The other known example, with the caseback engraved with the Khanjar was sold by Antiquorum Geneva on 12 May 2013 (lot 518). The ultra-luxurious diamond-set Ref. 6269, the so-called ‘Jack of Diamonds’, is one of the most elusive models among all gold Cosmographs. With its caseback engraved with the Khanjar emblem of Oman, it’s a piece for any serious Rolex collector today. (Est: CHF800,000-1,400,000) His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said Al Said (1940-2020), the Sultan of Oman Born on November 18th, 1940, in Salalah, Dhofar, His Majesty was the only son of Sultan Said bin Taimur and Princess Mazoon al-Mashani. His formal education first took place in Salalah, India, where he studied under Dhayal Sharma, the former President of India, and thereafter in England. At the age of 20, he began his military training and joined the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst, eventually serving in the Scottish Rifles for one year in Germany. His Majesty ascended to the throne on 23rd July 1970. An absolute monarch, he proved a successful ruler, using the revenues obtained from oil to modernise his country. With his guidance, his country and subjects enjoyed countless advances, both social and technological. Oman has strengthened its international relations, both in the Middle Eastern area and on a more global scale. Independent newspapers are permitted, and schools, highways, hotels and shopping centres have been built. The Omani healthcare and education systems benefit from substantial public spending. The Sultan also permitted parliamentary elections, during which women were allowed to vote and be elected; and the parliament enjoys legislative powers. The foreign policy of his Majesty has been and continues to be one of formal neutrality. Beyond his enthusiasm for watches, the Sultan’s interests also included music. He was an avid fan of classical music, with a particular penchant for the pipe organ. The Omani orchestra is one of the most appreciated in the Middle East.

The Swiss luxury watchmaker unveils two new steel versions of its anniversary tourbillon. The two pieces above offer variations in blue and silver, giving them a highly contemporary aspect. The first features a sun-brushed midnight blue dial in a fully-polished steel case mounted on a matte blue alligator strap. Following the success of an initial limited anniversary edition in rose gold unveiled at Geneva’s Watches and Wonders show, Frederique Constant is now offering collectors two all-new variations of its Manufacture Tourbillon in a 39-millimetre steel case with a blue or silver-coloured dial. The contemporary look is a perfect complement to the classic design – and sits perfectly alongside the original rose gold version. Each of the two timepieces will be available in a limited edition of 350, with the visible tourbillon at 6 o’clock revealing all the Geneva-based firm’s watchmaking knowhow. Not only is 2023 Frederique Constant’s 35th anniversary, it’s also the fifteenth anniversary of the brand’s first Manufacture tourbillon movement, released in 2008 – and celebrating two anniversaries calls for two creations. After a first rose gold version (of which just 150 were made) presented at the Geneva Watches and Wonders show which ran from 27 March to 2 April, Frederique Constant is therefore continuing its 35th anniversary celebrations with two new editions of its Classic Tourbillon Manufacture in steel, with 350 of each version being made. These two new variations are a further embodiment of Frederique Constant’s original recipe for success: providing Swiss Made luxury watches at affordable prices. The steel version of the Classic Tourbillon Manufacture is one of the most attractive offerings on the market right now when it comes to presenting a watchmaking complication in a classic design.
