The star is bedecked in full Piaget Possession regalia once more – two Possession rings; Possession watch (with Roman numerals); Possession bracelet (ID style); and Possession earrings. Each piece is in 18 carat white gold, with clear brilliant-cut diamonds, as is normal for the collection.

As with the first shot, photographer Raymond Meier and stylist Elissa Santisi work their magic to bring effervescence to the image. We will bring you the third and final shot soon. For the moment, scroll to the bottom of this entry to view behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot.

Returning to the jewelry and the watch, each one is distinctive in styling and in the use of materials and diamonds, especially compared with the items showcased in the last shot with Miller.

It is with a lot of emotion that Frank Low, key decision-maker for BEDAT & C° and president of LuxuryConcepts, celebrates the success of the Art Deco Swiss Watchmaker. He explains: “As a purveyor of fine timepieces, we are especially proud to be the defenders of BEDAT & C°’s strong values: drawing upon a 500-year heritage of Swiss watchmaking traditions in the Jura region, BEDAT & C° is a genuinely honest house, preserving the highest standards of craftsmanship to guarantee the Swiss quality of all components and know-how. Further more; BEDAT & C° – the “Joaillier de l’Acier” – is one of the only brands renowned for its high-end timeless designs manufactured especially for ladies.” Mr Low concludes: “We always believed that with such powerful and sincere values, the Geneva house would find worldwide recognition. I am happy to share our global expansion with you today”.

The brand has indeed enjoyed substantial commercial development despite the economic context, expanding its strong retail network with successful openings across five continents.

Going beyond familiar territories, the Swiss watchmaker has achieved business in many new markets such as Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Iceland, as well as Norway. There is more! Recently, BEDAT & C° has signed distributions contracts for North America & Canada, South America, Caribbean, Mexico, Central Europe, South and Western Africa, and Nigeria, Ghana. Many more crucial markets like Germany, North and Eastern Europe or the Russian states are in the midst of contract finalisation and are expected to complete before Baselworld 2010 is over.

To date, many points of sales have been implemented across Asia. The brand has also established prime Shop-In-Shop presence within the premises of prestigious luxury malls. In Middle East, where BEDAT & C° feminine timepieces are highly appreciated, the Geneva house is represented in Qatar, UAE and Bahrain.

Initially, many hopes were pinned on the vibrant markets of the Far East and Asia, yet the pleasant surprise of the worldwide acceptance and success of the Geneva-based House is beyond expectations.

The Swiss Artisan is pleased to experience rewarding success and enthusiasm shown by worldwide prime leading partners. BEDAT & C°. is extremely proud and fortunate to have established such high-quality relationships given the crisis context of the past year. The brand is determined to show appreciation to all its defenders and to maintain its efforts throughout the coming year.

Baselworld 2010 is an opportunity for the feminine Swiss watchmaker to keep its promises by presenting its intricate yet extremely elegant designs for women.

Reflecting 500 years of genius and horological mastery, BEDAT & C°’s core values are deeply rooted in the finest art of Swiss watchmaking. Thanks to the unswerving collaboration with the best ateliers of the Jura Valley. The brand also has the highest standards of master craftsmanship, stamped with the A.O.S.C label, the ultimate symbol and guarantee of quality and ethics certifying the Swiss origin of all components.

“When I discussed this with Karl he was very keen for me to show Coco’s humour but that was something the director didn’t want to do,” said Mouglalis. “For him nothing can be precise enough. This film is just one interpretation and shows a certain point of view. I didn’t even have to ask for his help though – he relayed anecdotes about Coco, showed me the archives and lent me some beautiful dresses.”

The French actress, who has worked with Chanel for eight years and is currently the face of the label’s Fine Jewellery, said that she feels as if she has been preparing for her role for years without even knowing it – but never dreamed she would ever end up playing the fashion legend.

“Because of the years of work I have done for Chanel I felt I could bring so much to the film – of course it was a huge part to take on but I was just so enthusiastic about it all,” she said. “I then read everything I could find on her, I studied videos and text and read lots of Colette just so I could get a feel for the era.”

How does she think this latest film compares to Audrey Tautou’s Coco Before Chanel?

“I was one of the first to see the Tautou’s version,” she said. “I’m crazy about it but I can’t watch it as a spectator because I have worked with Chanel for so long – we have history. Both films are about different parts of Chanel’s life – Coco Before Chanel was about her building herself up, this film is about the woman she always wanted to be.”

Mouglalis is sceptical as to whether Coco herself would have been a fan of the film.

“There were three different biography’s written about Chanel and I think by the end of her life she hated them all,” she said. “In the same way there will be different interpretations of her life on film and I’m not sure which one would have been to her taste. She was such a complex woman.”

The case is water-resistant to 100 metres and fitted with a bezel bearing a tachometer scale, as well as a screw-lock crown and integrated pushers controlling the chronograph functions.

The Ennstal Classic 2010 is equally impeccable from a technical standpoint. Its mechanical self-winding movement beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hertz). Chronometer-certified by the COSC, it features a 46-hour power reserve which drives the hour, minute, date, small seconds functions, as well as the chronograph and its central seconds hand, along with 30-minute and 12-hour counters. It is also equipped with a stop seconds mechanism enabling time-setting to the nearest second

 Before the workshop tour, Audemars Piguet Art Director Octavio Garcia recalled the fruitful work undertaken with the famous musician in creating the Millenary Quincy Jones, a watch featuring resolutely contemporary lines and a sophisticated design playing on nuances and subtle contrasts between brilliant and satin-polished surfaces echoing the notes on the keyboard of a piano, an instrument dear to the artist’s heart.

 Throughout this radiantly sunny day, Quincy Jones admired the work of these skilled watchmaking artisans, commenting that “these men and women really impress me by their precision and the expertise they display in shaping these timeless gems. They are great creative talents and passionately dedicated artists, just like those for whom I serve as producer.”

 For several years, Audemars Piguet and this exceptional individual have been associated in developing “Project Q”, aimed at raising political and public awareness of young people’s need for self-expression and the means that must be provided to ensure they fulfil their true potential. The cornerstone of “Project Q” is the “Q Prize”, an international award presented by Audemars Piguet and honouring a public figure or social organisation having played a central role on behalf of children. Through his Quincy Jones Foundation, the artist is also committed to helping children by improving their well-being, their health and their dignity. The new Millenary Quincy Jones watch will contribute to raising funds for this foundation.

 Know-how, artistic passion and empathy… Such shared values were bound to further strengthen the ties between this music legend and the famous Swiss watch manufacturer.

 In speaking of the man behind the foundation, Audemars Piguet CEO Philippe Merk said: “Quincy Jones is not only an amazing artist and a daring entrepreneur, but above all a man with a big heart. One cannot help admiring his career, especially considering the difficulties he encountered during his childhood. He gives us an important life lesson and naturally inspires profound respect.”

 Before returning to Montreux where he will present his new “Quincy Jones & the Global Gumbo All Stars” ensemble, this informal yet highly emotional visit paid to the Manufacture will remain engraved in the memory of the company and its personnel. Much like the master-watchmakers who have been steadily forging the reputation of Audemars Piguet for the past 135 years, Quincy Jones has been shaping the history of music for several decades already.

 ”For me, his legacy has to be informative – not a wax museum – but something alive,” said Giammetti to the International Herald Tribune.

 The archive includes more than 200 sketches, from 1959 when Valentino first opened his atelier in Rome, to 2008, when he showed his final couture collection. iPads show the designer sketching his creations and a 40 meter gallery displays original sketches laid out on notepads and scraps of beside paper. The archive will also show photographs of some the world’s most famous women wearing Valentino designs, including Elizabeth Taylor and Jacqui Kennedy.

 The collection will be open from September by appointment only and available to students from next year.

Design Vertigo is a series of projects that invite the public to look at design from a vanguard perspective – literally, by interacting with it , taking craftsmanship to a further level.

FENDI is solidifying its reputation as a strong supporter of culture, pushing the boundaries and encouraging the cross-pollination of different creative fields outside fashion, continuing to support young talents.

Like ‘ Craft Punk’, ‘Design Vertigo’ is conceived as a unique, interactive happening, that will transform Spazio Fendi into a transgressive design theatre featuring a new commission from designers, rAndom International, Graham Hudson and Beta Tank and artist Felice Varini.

As Silvia Venturini Fendi, Accessories Creative Director states, “in such an historical period, when everything is questioned , we decided to continue this path through Design Vertigo, where experimentation is perceived in an innovative and provocative way, as viewers will interact and become themselves part of the installations, reaching their full completion
