EDITOR'S LETTER

CONTRIBUTORS

Flight path • One of Jean Schlumberger’s most famous designs has provided Tiffffany & Co. chief artistic offifficer Nathalie Verdeille with an entirely new perspective.

MARKING TIME • The year in watches offered much to consider, from technical innovations to new ideas of what is precious now.

Roman odyssey • As a Roman jeweller with Greek origins, Bulgari’s choice to stage its 2025 high jewellery presentation in Sicily wasn’t just glamorous serendipity but a symbolic gesture. By Dan Thawley.
