THE WATCH
This Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Reverso timepiece lets you keep up with multiple time zones at once thanks to an ingenious second face, crafted from 18 carat rose gold. The 18 carat rose gold casing might be ultra thin, but the silver face can be flipped over to reveal a second jet-black face on the reverse. Gone are the days of confusing time differences, thanks to the Duoface system, which was created by the Jaeger-LeCoultre artisan watchmakers in 1994, the wearer can keep check on multiple time zones at once with a simple flip of the face. A masterpiece of the Swiss house’s precision and technical prowess, this latest model is a mere 9.14mm thin, making it as delicately elegant as it is imaginative.

Splendid blue ancolie flowers with their stately unfurled petals are the inspiration for these fantastic ear clips of 88 gleaming sapphires. Ear clips in 18k gold and platinum with sapphires and diamonds.

THE WINE
Château de Montguéret 2011 Saumur Loire Valley, France is perfect when combined with smoked salmon. Saumur is better known for red, but the whites can be remarkably good. This is made from chenin blanc augmented with a splash of chardonnay and is a fabulous bottle. Honey and beeswax give the impression of richness, before crunchy pear, grapefruit and razor-sharp acidity kick in to leave the palate refreshed.
