Sevan Biçakçi has announced the upcoming debut of an 85-piece collection of timepieces—an entirely new category for the brand. Featuring gemstones like diamonds and pearls, and elements like engravings and reverse-carved intaglios, each timepiece is one-of-a-kind. While telling tales of Turkish traditions, each piece includes the technical sophistication of Swiss-made movements.

Hermès has debuted two new timepieces—the Arceau Robe du Soir and the Heure H Double Jeu. Playful yet chic, the Heure H Double Jeu is available in variations of black and white. Influenced by Philippe Mouquet’s signature Heure H design from 1996, the watch features a vertical or horizontal face in the shape of the letter H, some complete with small, sparkling diamonds, and all on a calfskin strap.
The Arceau Robe du Soir, inspired by Florence Manlik’s silk scarf design, is a 12-piece limited edition piece that features a colorful equestrian motif in mosaiced leather, a rose gold case, and an electric blue calfskin strap.

Perfect for the oncoming fall weather, and perhaps a weekend rodeo, MISBHV shows an updated take on the classic cowboy boot. Created for both men and women, and with a slight heel at just-above-the-ankle cut , the boot is available in white, black, or colorful snakeskin.
Paco Rabanne has introduced the new Pocket bag—the brand’s latest interpretation of its iconic bag from 1969. Still with brand’s signature articulated metal details, available in red, black, or a mirrored material, the compact bag can easily be worn over the shoulder with its ultra-sleek, long strap.
