Designed to hold up to 3 watches, Emerald is a must-have accessory for all discerning watch enthusiasts and collectors.

It is the ideal space in which to store and, at the same time, admire your favorite watches. Strictly handmade in Italy, the exterior is green Saffiano leather with tone-on-tone stitching.

The removable cushion with button attachment makes it extremely easy to use so that you can insert and remove your watch. The interior is made of alcantara to better protect the watch from unintentional scratches.

Luxurious and with timeless appeal, this gift will leave any watch lover speechless. Due to its exceptional value for money, hurry to buy it before it sells out.

Make it fun, along with Savana, is probably the most desired in our collection. With such an impactful yet incredibly refined purple, the collector who wears it at any time expresses elegance without conforming. There are so many ways to pair this strap that if we were to mention them all it would take another page.

Tudor Princess Oysterdate “T Swiss T”

The Tudor Oyster Prince was launched in the mid-1940s and was intended as an everyday watch that was indestructible, waterproof, and accurate. It was an immediate success, thanks in part to a massive advertising campaign that portrayed this new line as ready for any adventure (including the voyage of British Captain J.D. Walker, who wore an Oyster Prince when he reached the Arctic in the far north of Greenland in 1952).

This little gem of watchmaking technology has a stunning gray dial. On it we find applied baton hour markers, each paired with a tritium dot.

Sit back and enjoy our very personal selection of gifts designed for all true watch enthusiasts.

Charming and luxurious, this gift will leave any special woman speechless.
