Ulysse Nardin Jade – A Change Is Coming

| May 14, 2013 | 2 Replies

Ulysse Nardin Jade

Women’s fashion is rarely practical, let alone functional. A nice pair of Louboutin pumps will assuredly hurt your feet, and the oversized LV bag which seemed like a good purchase on a rainy day, is simply too heavy. In other words, if it looks good, it probably isn’t convenient or comfortable; and if it’s convenient and comfortable, you probably wouldn’t want to be seen outside of your house wearing it. Women have become accustomed to this state of affairs. One luxury watch-maker however has refused to accept this reality of impracticality – how delightfully Swiss – and has instead built a stunning new alternative; introducing the Jade timepiece from Ulysse Nardin.

Roland Iten RZ8 Mark II ‘Ziletto’ Cufflinks

Yesterday, Anish and I had the distinct pleasure of lunching with Roland Iten and his lovely wife, Carol Galiano, at a great little Italian restaurant here in London. Now if you’re not familiar with Mr. Iten’s work already it probably just means you move in the wrong social circles – sorry about that.

Best known for his exotic luxury belt calibers, the range also extends to equally exotic and luxurious credit card holders and mechanical cuff links, among other things, all of which Roland will invariably have attached to different parts of his person when you meet him. In fact, in my experience, simply giving Roland the once-over is a great way to learn more about what the brand has to offer.

Yesterday was certainly no exception, with one item in particular really catching my eye; Roland’s very own RZ8 Mark II Cufflinks, codename: Ziletto.
