We took a tour of A Journey Through Time IV, going into Omega, Boucheron, Van Cleef & Arpels, Carrera Y Carrera, Mariani and Mouawad store in Starhill Gallery.

Next: Boucheron.

Ms Stephanie Chua from YTL being “fitted” with one of Boucheron mesmerizing pieces, a soft flowing mesh gold chain…
..which can be worn as a headband, a belt around the waist or as a neck-piece, as modelled below.
I love cocktail rings, and certainly do not mind having one of the below, especially the enchanting starfish one!
Next , we were ushered into Van Cleef & Arpels, the legendary Parisian jeweler.
This set below, for example, carries the price tags as follows:
Pendant – RM59,700
Black silk cord – RM730
Ring – RM89,300
Earclips – RM44,100
The exclusive Carrera Y Carrera was our next stop.
Carrera Y Carrera has modern, bold pieces..
..as well as elegant timeless designs like the below. Unfortunately, I got distracted with the jewellery & didn’t managed to snap any shots of their watches !
Mariani‘s jewellery showcases a complete different look & feel due to its bold craftmanship.
The use of semi precious stones and very chunky and bold design sets it apart from the other jewellery houses.
Another luxury brand – Mouawad during our tour.
Choose from the range of small dainty time pieces..
..or bolder, bigger designs like below.
Beguiling modern jewellery for the modern women like me 😉
The limited edition Mouawad timepiece, where there are only 24 pieces available worldwide.

A Journey Through Time IV will run from 2 to 11 December (10 am to 10 pm) at the Starhill Gallery. The highly anticipated Starhill Gallery Watch of the Year award ceremony will be held on the last day of the event – 11 December – with a show from renowned Australian songstress Deltra Goodrem.

Personally, it was an eye-opening event for me, as I wouldn’t have stepped into all these shops on my own. It made me realized too, the amazing technical details and craftmanship that goes into each piece of jewellery & watches. Now I’m eyeing an Omega for myself. Oh dear! :heart:
Okay, lets try the Nathalie’s Dec menu. When?
Sorry for the late reply. My disqus did not notify me of the comments for that particular post.
Haha.. next week lunch i guess? Will let you knw! Meanwhile there are a few other places you got to try!
some of the watches look quite cool, but heheh, this reminds me that i haven’t had a wristwatch in many years. just use cell phone to check the time 😀
It does! And it made me think, ehh.. when was the last time I wore a watch??
:scratch:

you never wear a watch???
I can’t live without it.. my left hand feels naked 😛
I’m still wearing Tissot (not those high end ones ok?) which my dad gave to me as birthday present 7-8 years ago!!! Since I’m not really a collector, I will settle for only one ultimate watch… ROLEX!!! But that will have to wait for how many years leh?? LOL
Oh! A Rolex is a very good choice! For a man!
I think Tissot has quite a “high-class” following too. Well, I wouldnt knw! I haven’t wore a watch fr years!
hmm arent watches duty free to begin with?
in any case, dont b too scared with the retail prices, discounts are quite good depending on which brand you are eyeing and it helps if you got lubang to the watch boutiques, makes a hell alot of difference in terms of discount.
i remember asking the prices of a frank muller and the fellow standard quote is a 35% discount!
Wa! Really? Not sure if that applies to outlets in Starhill!
