    trends at Baselworld 2017:

    • Simple and elegant white colour is fashionable and trendy for both waches and jewellery.
    • Auto-racing – a lot of watch brands created new models dedicated to racing cars and their passion for speed.
    • Green and blue are two other dominating colors in the new collections of jewellery brands.
    • Smart and Connected watches are a big trend. However, Baselworld remains to be the exhibition of the classical time pieces.
    • My favorite trend – floral and animal motives.
    • Grey with all its shades is a new colour at Baselworld 2017. Grey is opposite of colourful, yet can be very vivid and give distinguish character to the watches and jewellery.

    Imperiali Genève

    Imperiali Geneve has created Emperador – the most impressive Cigar Chest in the world.

    • The Cigar Chest looks like a luxurious safe. The heart of the chest conceals two secure, climate- controlled compartments reserved for the 24 cigars (from Honduras and Nicaragua), each wrapped in four leaves of fine gold and protected by glass tubes.
    • For the developments of the autonomic system, which can produce its own water for humidity inside the chest and control the temperature, company got two international patents.
    • From 3500 components in this exclusive chest, 2675 were specially manufactured.
    • The original tourbillon watch is placed in the centre of the locking mechanism.
    • Chest has three movable accessories: a cigar cutter, a table lighter and an ashtray.
    • The cigar cutter offers two functions: either cutting the cigar using a guillotine mechanism or performing a cigar punch.
    • Emperador is an unique combination of state-of-the-art technology, beauty and luxury. The price is matching quality, 1 million dollars.

    I was fascinated by this Swiss made, exquisite and one-of-a-kind Cigar Chest!
