Luxury brand Bulgari unveiled the world's thinnest tourbillon at its Chiming Time exhibition yesterday. Four years in the making, the tourbillon included in the Octo design marked a world record at just 1.95mm. >>> 

 


The Elements of Elegance: What Makes Design 'Sophisticated'?

Stephanie Walden                                                Mashable                                     September 29

    

Imagine for a moment a pristinely wrapped Tiffany & Co. package: The company's signature robin's egg blue, the tantalizing, perfectly tied white ribbon, the iconic logo delicately printed atop. It's the epitome of class, elegance and sophistication. >>>

Michelle Graff                                       National Jeweler                                      September 29
