Last month, Patek Philippe caused quite a stir by dropping the stainless steel Nautilus 5711/1A-014 Green. This was following an announcement by Mr. Stern, president of Patek Philippe, that the brand’s most coveted model—cult watch Nautilus 5711 blue dial, was going to be discontinued.

This wasn’t the only thing that caused a frenzy, though. The new edition of Nautilus 5711 had the same case, bracelet, and movement. But this time, it sported the color that had been showing up in Haute Horology all year, an olive green dial.

From the highly sought-after Nautilus 5711 to the timeless Royal Oak from Audemars Piguet, all these watches proudly sported blue dials. It seemed to be the norm, joining the classics: white or black. In this year’s Watches & Wonders show, that seemed to change.

From mint to the forest, we take a look at the green wave sweeping through the world of luxury watches.

The long history of dark colors in the watchmaking industry wouldn’t generally stand for lighter pastels such as mint. However, watch brands were clearly moving away from conventions this year. The Breitling Premier Heritage B09 Chronograph’s mint dial came as an adorable twist to the old-school style. Sporting a cheerful pistachio green face, this watch certainly reinvented the modern Chronograph.

Next, we dial up the intensity to a deep, jade green. These have been around for quite some time, but that didn’t stop top watchmakers from producing some very attractive head-turners.

IWC Schaffhausen brought in a slightly smaller Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41mm, following the Spitfire. Made in stainless steel and automatic, the new model is as customizable as it gets. Buyers can choose between calfskin or metal straps, and a green or blue dial. Another favorite seems to be Tudor Black Bay 58 18k. The watch boasts a delightful green dial and bezel against a contrasting 18k yellow gold case. This diver’s watch uses a textile or fabric strap, which we wouldn’t say is the best material to go deep. But since when have diver’s watches been used for diving, anyway?

TAG Heuer pulled out all the stops in a similar Rolex-Tudor move, by using yellow to highlight the hottest color in Haute Horology. The new Aquaracer 43mm rebirth brought in a distinctly bold look with the 12-sided unidirectional rotating bezel design and a highly functional internal profile.

The olive green dials, however, were the ultimate show stoppers at the Watches & Wonders show this year.

First, the aforementioned Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 in Green, an ode to the highly-coveted blue dial. Patek Philippe definitely brought a worthy opponent to carry the Nautilus 5711 through its final journey. Panerai is also releasing the Luminor Marina eSteel later this year. Panerai is paving the way for sustainability in the watch world with this one made using recyclable metals. The eSteel meets the need for corrosion-resistant and polishable metal, without compromising on the timeless elegance of virgin materials.

Rolex dropped the DateJust 36 in a “palm motif, inspired by tropical forests”, a stunning beauty in olive green. The Olive Green Palm Oystersteel features one of the most iconic designs in watches with an extravagant twist. Not that we’re complaining – this was love at first sight. Also seen in its brother-from-another-mother collector favorite, Audemars Piguet unveiled the olive drab on the beloved Royal Oak. In the same collection, there are four other options in green hues.

Finally, not to be missed, are the deep, dark, forest greens. They’re a classic among conservative watchmakers, although, could we blame them? Perhaps watchmakers want to bring users closer to nature. Or maybe, it’s just the mysterious vibe of forest green that makes it so appealing. Whatever it is, there was no shortage of swoon-worthy forest green dials at the trade show.

The top contender for this color palette has to be the Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept, which took home the “Aiguille d’Or” (best watch of the year) at the 2020 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. Piaget didn’t stop there, instead, they came back this year with a meaner, greener machine with a satin-brushed dial. Using the same ultra-thin technology, the watch measures in at 2mm, and is worn with a textile strap.

Cartier’s flawless execution of simple elegance in the 1980s can be seen in the Cartier Tank Must Monochrome Green. Dialing back on the chronographs and functions usually on display in luxury watchmaking, Cartier enters a world of unlimited possibilities with this year’s rendition of the simple Tank Must.

What do you think of this new color trend? Will you be getting your dream watch from TrueFacet?

What does the term “men’s jewelry” make you think of?

Women have it easy in the jewelry department. As long as their jewelry isn’t gaudy or simply overdone, anything they choose to wear tends to look good.

Now, imagine a man trying to pull off bangle bracelets and dangling earrings. The first image that comes to mind might be a little outlandish. However, when you stop to think about it, you’ve probably seen many men wearing watches and other accessories that looked super classy.

It’s all in knowing how to wear what jewelry. So let’s dive in and learn about it.

The Essential Everyday Watch

Watches are perhaps the most used element of men’s jewelry. While many women enjoy wearing jewelry simply for its beauty, men tend to like accessories that have a purpose. A watch, especially one with more functions than just telling time, is a very useful piece of jewelry.

Every man should have at least two watches — one for everyday wear and one for getting a little fancy.

An everyday watch should be durable, yet stylish. This watch will see the most bumps and scuffs so you’ll need a quality watch that can stand up to normal wear and tear. Metal, stainless steel, and leather-banded watches are all a great choice. Black, gray, silver, and gold are good colors to stick to so your watch will go with all your outfits. A classic style like this Cartier is perfect for everyday looks.

Special Occasions Watch

A watch can really elevate the style of your outfit. When you want to look particularly elegant, choosing a sleek, fancy watch is an excellent way to add just the flair you need.

Minimalist watches tend to be the name of the game here. Ones with lots of buttons and features are better left to the everyday watch.

For example, the sleek lines of this Patek Phillipe will instantly transform your look from merely formal to elegant and grand.

Rings

Rings are also a common piece of jewelry for men to use. Wedding bands aside, men can use rings to express themselves and still ooze masculinity.

Signet rings are a great choice and come in a huge variety of styles, giving you many options for personalization.

Many men tend to gravitate towards larger, chunkier styles. The thought, perhaps, is that delicate little bands look better on petite fingers. However, don’t forget that you’ll have to wear that thing all day. A heavy ring can get annoying, especially if you type a lot of work with your hands in some way.

A simple band with a minimal design is often enough to set your style apart without overpowering your outfit. If you want to wear more than one, be sure to wear them with confidence or you will look unbalanced.

Updating Your Jewelry Collection

Where is a good place to get quality men’s jewelry? It’s easy to find on store shelves all over the place, but these cheap watches and other accessories scuff quickly and do little to elevate your style.

Instead, check out our consignment service for a quality watch this summer. Every watch we sell is authenticated to ensure that you are receiving an authentic and quality product. We have a wide variety of styles and more are being added all the time.

Enjoy an elegant watch that completely changes your look without paying the full price. Our pre-owned marketplace is the perfect place to get your next favorite accessory!

The search for the perfect designer diaper bag can be a grueling one. Will you be able to attend to your child while carrying your bag? Is it big enough to fit all the essential items? As parents, there are so many things to worry about before style. But that doesn’t mean to say that dragging around bulky, gaudy-looking maternity bags should be your only option.

Admit it, we’ve always had a weakness for handbags. They’re often what can make or break an outfit, and a good quality designer diaper bag can go a long way. Trust us, being a mom doesn’t mean you have to give up fashion for functionality.

What Does Your Maternity Bag Need?

If you’re done with tacky and boring diaper bags and want to have a viable solution to your baby’s needs, many luxury brands have functional carryalls for your baby’s needs. You’ll also finally have an excuse to get that bag you were eyeing for a while, as long as it checks off these functions:

• Enough storage
• Stylish
• Stroller friendly
• Easy access
• Hands-free
• Easy to clean

Available for purchase here.

Brand new or pre-loved Designer Diaper Bags?

Often, the question that pops into everyone’s minds when looking at the brand bags is whether to purchase them brand new or pre-loved.

Brand New

It goes without saying that buying off the rack comes with a pretty hefty price tag. The obvious advantage of going brand new is that, well, it’s brand new. You can get the exact model and color you want without the fuss of scouring the internet for ‘the one and you get it in flawless condition.

This is also the best option for moms who are looking to sell their diaper bags in the future and would want to guarantee their authenticity and condition for the next person.

Pre-loved

Pre-loved luxury resale has been on the rise in the past decade or so, especially with sustainable fashion in trend. It’s easy to see why it’s so popular. You can save up to 80% off the retail price when you buy secondhand luxury goods. Plus, since the bag you will get is used, they will have already gone through their ‘first wear-and-tear’ process, so you’ll be worry-free about scratching a brand new bag. One of the downsides of purchasing pre-loved items is, of course, authenticity.

Going through reliable sites can help you combat that issue. TrueFacet verifies the authenticity of every pre-loved good and ensures that their sellers are trustable.

This Mothers’ Day, TrueFacet wants to thank all moms for being awesome! They are offering 10% off on the Mothers’ Day Sale Event with code LOVEMOM10%.

Mother’s Day is coming up fast! Though you appreciate your mom every day of the year, this special day is a great time to show her just how much.

Every time she wears it the two little circles will fall close to her heart, where a piece of your soul will always reside.

Choose a feminine-style Rolex watch like this gorgeous diamond-encrusted watch with an ice pink face. As always, a Rolex watch will keep the precise time down to the second.

Tiffany and Co. make a stunning piece from 18K yellow gold that is perfect for the occasion. The Tiffany Paloma Picasso diamond brooch sparkles in the light and is only dimmed by the sparkle in your mom’s eyes.

10. Chanel Cuff

Does your mom love all things, Chanel? It’s likely since so many women the world over are in love with Chanel products.

For her, a thoughtful gift might be a bold cuff piece with Chanel’s logo proudly displayed on the front. The leather cuff comes in a soft, feminine pink that your mom is sure to adore. It’s also a versatile piece that is simple enough for daily wear, yet classy enough for a special lunch date — perhaps with you!

The brunch offers table service and includes a three-course prix fixe menu. Enjoy your private table, visiting with mom while protected from others with Plexiglass dividers. If you’re still worried about airflow, each table has access to windows you can open to facilitate airflow.

While there, mom enjoys complimentary mimosas, while others in the group receive one complimentary drink. In addition to mimosas, bloody marys, beer, wine, and champagne are also available.

Brunch includes local bagels with flavored cream cheeses prepared in-house, a smoked salmon platter, and breakfast bakery options. For the second course, enjoy quiche, with locally sourced, fresh ingredients, sausages, and kale salad. Finish up your meal with mini Italian pastries and seasonal fruit.

Purchase tickets online, and depart from Chelsea Piers (Pier 62).

Tavern on the Green

Nothing says New York like Tavern on the Green. Their three-course prix fixe menu planned for Mother’s Day brunch sounds nothing short of amazing. Start with a basket of madeleines for the table, along with whipped strawberry butter.

For the appetizer, choose between smoked salmon salad, baby BLT wedge salad, cream of wild mushroom soup, or roasted black fig and goat cheese flatbread.

For the main course, select from grilled whole fish, roasted asparagus and sweet risotto, Maine lobster eggs benedict, tavern French toast, or brick oven-roasted beef tenderloin and eggs.

For dessert, choose from classic strawberry shortcake, lemon meringue cheesecake, and molten black and white chocolate cake.

Central Park

Want to enjoy some fresh air while celebrating your mom? Head to Central Park for a stroll, to people watch, or sit and watch the water. When you are ready to eat, head to The Loeb Boathouse, the Central Park boathouse where you can rent rowboats, bicycles, and even Gondolas.

The Loeb Boathouse also has excellent food. Their brunch appetizers include a basket of breakfast bread, mixed greens, tuna carpaccio, seafood cocktail, crab cakes, and more.

When you are ready to move onto the main course, consider the full boathouse breakfast, which includes fried eggs, Irish bacon, sausage, chipotle beans, roasted tomato, fried potatoes, and mushrooms.

There are plenty of other lighter options as well, with vegetable frittata, omelet of the day, eggs benedict, waffles, stuffed French toast, fish and chips, and many other choices. If you don’t see exactly what you want on the menu, there are plenty of choices on the sides.

Finish off your meal with white chocolate panna cotta, NY cheesecake, or rhubarb crisp.

Casa Enrique

Forget to make plans ahead of time? Casa Enrique has you covered. No reservations needed, here. Head over between 11 and 3 for a first-come, first-serve brunch. Mexican may not be the first thing you think of for Mother’sDay brunch, but Casa Enrique is the first Mexican restaurant in New York City to receive a Michelin star, so chances are, mom, won’t mind.

Pappardelle

Italian sound like a good choice? Pappardelle’s brunch menu is hard to beat. Belgian waffles topped with bananas, hot chocolate ganache and whipped cream, brioche French toast, eggs benedict, farmer’s omelet, and shakshuka are just some of the choices your mom can choose from.

Women have been amazing since the dawn of time. While some would fault Eve for listening to that sneaky snake, others would point out that her husband found her irresistible. Women do amazing things and inspire the world all the time, just look at Marie Curie, Rosa Parks, and Marilyn Monroe.

It’s no wonder that many inventions have been thanks to women, and we’ll be looking at gorgeous handbags inspired by women.

Although most of these bags weren’t literally designed for the women whose names they carry, they still inspired the designers enough to warrant a rename, and that says a lot!

The Birkin Bag – Inspired by Jane Birkin

Hermès is a well-known luxury brand that makes handbags that come with a waiting list. The most iconic bag in its range is the Birkin Bag, and it was inspired by a woman, of course.

While on a flight from Paris to London, the Hermès chairman, Jean-Louis Dumas, saw Jane Birkin’s diary fall out of her bag. Papers were scattered everywhere, and he helped her pick them up. The two got talking, and he decided to design Jane’s perfect bag.

And today, we have Birkin bags made from luxurious materials worth more than houses!

The Lady Dior Bag – Inspired by Princess Diana

This beautiful handbag was designed and made by Dior in 1994 but was renamed two years later. Initially, the bag didn’t have an official name and was nicknamed Chouchou, which is French and translates to ‘Favorite’.

It was gifted to Princess Diana, who loved it and ordered the bag in all its available versions. In 1996, the bag was renamed The Lady Dior Bag in homage to the Princess. You can still buy the bag today, but be ready to pay a pretty penny for it.

The Kelly Bag – Inspired by Grace Kelly

Another beautiful bag made by Hermès is the Kelly Bag, which was inspired by 1950s starlet-turned-princess Grace Kelly. She used her own beloved bag to cover her pregnant belly from the paparazzi in 1956.

Grace and her handbag were on many magazine covers, and soon everyone started calling it the Kelly Bag. It was only in 1977 that the bag was officially named after her.

The Jackie Bag – Inspired by Jackie Kennedy

Jackie Kennedy was a formidable and truly fashionable woman. It’s no wonder that when the former first lady was spotted with one of Gucci’s bags, it had to be renamed after her. It was initially called the ‘Constance’.

Jackie loved the bag, which has a unique shape, so much that she bought six of them. She used the bag to shield herself from the paparazzi, and the rest is history, as they say.

The Stam Bag – Inspired by Jessica Stam

Marc Jacobs is known for designing some of the most beautiful fashion handbags, and the Stam Bag is one of them. He named it after his friend, the lovely model Jessica Stam in 2005. It became an ‘it’ bag among celebrities and influencers everywhere.

Although the Stam Bag is one of the most popular bags to come from this designer, it has been discontinued. If you want to get your hands on one of these, you’ll have to hope you find one at an auction.

The Alexa Bag – Inspired by Alexa Chung

The luxury British lifestyle brand, Mulberry, named a satchel after English model, writer, and fashion designer Alexa Chung. This happened after she was spotted with one of Mulberry’s briefcases.

The Alexa bag made its first appearance in 2010 and has since become very popular. It is believed that the company has doubled its production of the bag after the rename.

The Cara Delevingne Bag – Inspired by Cara Delevingne

Another stunning bag from Mulberry, the Cara Delevingne Bag, was inspired by the model, actress, and singer, Cara Delevingne.

Cara didn’t only have one bag named after her, but a complete collection. The British beauty teamed up with Mulberry to create a line of 3-in-1 styles. The bags can be carried as a backpack, tote, or shoulder bag.

Women inspire the world every day with the remarkable things they do. It’s only fair that they are shown appreciation every once in a while, and what better way than naming expensive bags after them?

Diamonds have long been touted as the gem to give to a fiancée, girlfriend, or wife, in a watch, ring, or some other form of jewelry. Many men simply dismiss the idea of ever wearing diamonds on themselves, fearing that it would seem too flashy or over the top. However, that idea is quickly disappearing as proven by many male celebrities such as Michael B. Jordan, Maradona, Cristiano Ronaldo, Eminem, and DJ Khaled.

Here’s a list of the best diamond watches for men, if you’re considering buying one for yourself or giving one to a special man in your life.

Hublot Classic Fusion Tourbillon 18K King Gold Diamond men’s watch
This stylish Hublot timepiece is made from 18K king gold, has a 45mm case, and a fixed bezel that is set with impeccable baguette diamonds. The design is sleek and elegant, complete with a black alligator leather strap. It also comes with a date display at the 2 o’clock position. This watch is not only a tourbillon but a skeleton watch as well. The wearer (and anyone else looking) can view and admire its mesmerizing interior mechanisms.

Patek Philippe Grand Complications Celestial 18K White Gold Diamond men’s watch
The Grand Complications Celestial Watch has 38 baguette diamonds set in its bezel, rendering it a splendid luxury design. This Swiss watch has a date display at the 3 o’clock position, a rich blue face that’s simply stunning, and a luxurious blue alligator leather strap. Its functionality is impressive, with a sky chart dial that has hands with silver tones, a date scale by its outer rim, and even a function that shows the moon’s phases.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust White Mother of Pearl Diamond men’s watch
Rolex is an obvious choice when looking for expensive watches for men. This particular Rolex has a 41mm case made of stainless steel and an overall smart-looking design. The hour markers are diamonds, and the face is elegant reflective mother-of-pearl. Each watch is truly unique as the mother-of-pearl can be pink, white, yellow, or black depending on the shell from which it is extracted. This watch has automatic movement, has a power reserve of 70 hours, and is even resistant to water up to 100 meters.

Chopard Silver Dial 18 Carat White Gold Diamond men’s watch
A watch that has a more traditional aesthetic, perfect for those who prefer classy looks from bygone eras. This particular Chopard has a white gold 40mm case that is tonneau-shaped and looks smart, which is paired well with a diamond-set fixed bezel and a sleek, black alligator leather strap. The timepiece has a silver face, and very interestingly, all the numerals are in Arabic, which makes for a great talking point as well as a unique watch face.

IWC Portofino Silver Dial Diamond Automatic men’s watch
With a design that is simultaneously incredibly sleek yet luxurious and formal as well, the IWC Portofino watch is a fantastic choice for those who like a simple watch that still stuns. Sophisticated yet stylish, it has a silver dial and a fixed bezel set with diamonds. It has an automatic movement, a date display by the 3 o’clock position, 42 hours of power reserve, and is resistant to water for up to 30 meters.

Baume and Mercier Clifton Silver Diamond Dial 18kt Rose Gold men’s watch
This particular watch has an incredible, timeless design. With a unique rose gold case and hands, diamonds to mark each hour (except for the 12 and 6 o’clock positions), and a date display at the 3 o’clock position, this watch manages to look beautiful and elegant while being simple as well. It has a black alligator leather strap, a skeleton case back, automatic movement, and a 42-hour power reserve, as well as being water-resistant for up to 50 meters.

Piaget Altiplano (GOA44075, GOA44076, and GOA45051)
These watches are unbelievable. They must be handled in real life, as even though they are stunning in pictures, seeing them with your own two eyes is a different story entirely.
This is due to their rich blue dial, a masterfully crafted dance with whatever light is available. The gradient sunburst dial on these watches can look anywhere from a pitch-black to a bright, glossy blue. They boast thin bezels and lugs which have charming diamonds throughout. The watches are ultra-thin and mechanical, with a black alligator leather strap.
The GOA44075 and GOA44076 models have white gold hour-markers and cases, while the GOA45051’s hour-markers and case is rose gold. All three models are limited edition.

Cartier Santos (WJSA0014)
Although only 35mm in diameter, this white-gold-cased watch has the most diamonds out of any watch on this list. For those with more extravagant tastes, The Cartier Santos has the “QuickSwitch” strap system rather than a full set bracelet. The aesthetic of this watch is basically a full-frontal diamond assault, as the diamonds are set all through the front of the case and lugs. The hands of the watch are a pretty sapphire blue, and the hours are marked by Roman numerals. The strap is a cool grey made from alligator leather, and this watch is water-resistant for up to 100 meters.

Bell and Ross Diamond Dial Black Titanium Automatic men’s watch
Last but not least, for men who prefer something edgy over something polished and elegant, the Bell and Ross Diamond Dial watch has a 46mm square, black titanium case. Its center is a skull motif made out of 259 diamonds, and its case has 156 black diamonds. With a self-winding automatic movement, this Swiss-made watch has a black Shagreen strap and is resistant to water for up to 100 meters.
