Bonjouuur. This week, for lucky episode number 7, we get into the latest watch news – which are the exciting new releases coming out of Geneva Watch Days.
Stealing this show is Bulgari, with two striking iterations of their architectural Octo Finissimo: the YELLOW GOLD brown dial version (for the US market only, mind you) and the mirror-finish "Sejima Edition." Also, we gush over a couple Serpentis, notably the Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon. And don't forget the Sailor Moon Baby-G. We also talk at LENGTH about rose gold, a topic Malaika wrote about with passion in the latest HODINKEE Mag.
For Watch Spotting, we discuss Serena Williams's triumphant singles victory at the US Open, in which she's wearing a Royal Oak Offshore (a favorite of hers, she is an Audemars Piguet Ambassador after all). We also gloss over Jacquemus's glam wedding and the vintage Hermès x JLC watch worn by one of his fabulous guests.
Then we get into a topic very near and dear to Malaika's heart: Princess Diana. We discuss the latest HBO doc "The Princess", Lady Di's emotionally-charged watch collection, the Revenge Dress and the deeply powerful hold she still has on the people of Great Britain. Have you box of Kleenex handy.
That's all for this week. Ciao for now <3
