Timeless design

Bottega Veneta – master of understated, unusual, refined and functional design – has just introduced its first watch, produced in collaboration with renowned Swiss watchmaker Girard-Perregaux. Designed for both men and women, the BVX, executed in a suite of soft browns, has a quiet, organic sensibility that belies the precision and detail of its construction. The result is a timepiece that represents personal luxury, ‘with many  small details designed solely for the wearer’s pleasure’, as Tomas Maier, Bottega Veneta’s creative director, describes it. £9,800; bottegaveneta.com
