Vacheron Constantin: Watching style

When it comes to watches price is no object, at least for some. Sure, as a child I may have searched Pat Pong Street for questionable Gucci's and yes, in my teens I may have sported a "sensible" Swatch, but as we grow older and come into our own style, a statement watch can be an investment that will last a lifetime. The latest to catch my eye, is Vacheron Constantin's Collection Excellence Platine Patrimony Contemporaine pocket watch. Yes, it's a mouthful but a timepiece such as this deserves a title.

Inspired by the discovery of the first pocket watch made by Jean-Marc Vacheron and dated circa 1755, the Collection Excellence Platine Patrimony Contemporaine pocket watch is both stylish and practical. Enclosed in its own leather pocket this little gem is the first in Vacheron Constantin's Patrimony line. A limited edition of 50, individually numbered watches are available so you'll have to be fast to pocket this one. Priced at around $50 000 however, I may well be window shopping for a while yet...

Featuring a large letter "A" and packaged to impress, this exclusive range of chocolate Easter eggs are available from the Giorgio Armani flagship store on 5th Avenue.

Forget the Easter bonnet, take these to your long weekend soiree and you'll be the belle of the ball.

ModaLisboa 2011: Salsa

Portugal's Denim dominator, Salsa, showed for the first time at ModaLisboa's Check Point. Their Fall Winter 2010/2011 collection producing edgy, denim wear reminiscent of some of the world's most well-loved kings of casual.

Multi-colored denim dresses were interesting additions to the women's wear with samplings from several of their much-loved lines from Premium Denim to more street-inspired offerings. Men's wear in cropped puffer jackets of midnight blue with an abundance of metal detail are sure to fly off the rack.

The line Urban Emotion was launched among the company's many offerings, inspired by the tales of Oliver Twist. Ochre, black, khaki and peacock blue emanated an orphan-esque style that the cool-kids-club love to flaunt.

A family-owned company, established in 1994, Salsa continues to expand at a rapid rate. From Spain to Asia it won't be long until they have you moving. Most recently, Salsa has become a best seller in Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
