Fabergé Strikes Gold with 007 Egg

A dazzling tribute to Goldfinger’s 60th anniversary

Few brands embody opulence quite like Fabergé. Fewer still manage to blend cinematic iconography and haute joaillerie with such aplomb.

Crafted in 18k yellow gold, its façade features a six-prong combination lock encircling the iconic 007 insignia. Turn it counter clockwise and the bolts glide open to reveal the egg’s secret: a miniature hoard of gold bars, nestled amidst a constellation of 140 brilliant-cut yellow diamonds. This intricate mechanism, which took months in development, marks a first for Fabergé and is more than mere theatre. It captures the essence of Bond: precision, surprise, and unrelenting style. The egg’s stem, set with white diamonds, is cast in 18k white gold and anchored to a base of carved black nephrite jadeite – an elegant, grounding contrast...

Hublot Classic Fusion Essential Taupe

Monochrome with soul

My love affair with Hublot began when I was ten. The first Hublot I ever saw – a gold case fused with a black rubber strap that smelled of vanilla – ignited something in me, even if at the time I didn’t realise how revolutionary it was. That iconic design lives on today in the Classic Fusion […]
