Named after the famous street of Paris that is synonymous worldwide with elegance, luxury and prestige, Saint Honore continues to assert its influence in the world of fashion and jewelry. Beautiful and sleek, these watches are in harmony with the latest fashion trends, and are well-known and recognized in more than 40 countries, with sales of more than 40 million French francs (6 million Euros) per year.
Saint Honore watches are luxurious yet affordable, and some models have won awards for their original beauty - the Opera watch, which won the 1993 Design Grand Prize and the 1994 First Fashion Award at the Jewelers of America Show in New York, or the Manhattan Chronograph, which won First Prize in the Luxury Fashion Watch Category, again at the 1995 Jewelers of America Show in New York. They are destined to become tomorrow's classics.
The latest addition to the watchmaker's portfolio is represented by the Haussman Lady watches, that will be unveiled at this year's edition of Baselworld. The looks of these timepieces will immediately catch your attention, as they combine the feminine line with a more aggressive, masculine touch, also mixing luxury with affordability. This will probably be the new trend as the economy continues to take jabs at the luxury industry. The mixture of elements such as diamonds and pink gold plated cases and accents tenderize the aggressive facade of this 38mm-wide watch face, appealing to the right kind of lady.
With a price that is bound to be affordable for the look - due to gold plating and a quartz movement - the Haussman Lady has a lot to offer if you are drawn to the design. Faces are black or available in mother of pearl, and the strap is available in leather or silk. The latter design is the most intriguing, mixing a soft silk strap and a diamond studded face and bezel with the screw and bolted design of the case. Large hands and number markers continue to mix up the design for a complicated, but surprisingly cohesive look.
You won't believe it, but it seems that prices start at around 300 Euros.
