From watches to scotch whisky and luxury bags, all the best indulgences which you can gift your loved ones, or yourself, to celebrate 2017’s festive season

LUMINOR DUE timepieces, Officine Panerai

Officine Panerai goes back into its archives to draw inspiration from the lines of the LUMINOR 1950. The new edition has been elegantly redesigned as the thinnest and most versatile of all watches created by Panerai. The collection represents the creation by Panerai of a more design-centric collection– at 3-bar/30-meter water resistance these are not Luminor watches.  Both Luminor 1950-style cases are 42-mm in diameter and only 10.5 mm thick, and feature the patented bridge-and-lever device that protects the crown and helps ensure the watches’ 30-meter water resistance. The dial of the titanium model is a sun-brushed blue; the rose-gold watch sports a rare-for-Panerai ivory-colored dial with blue applied numerals.

 

Scottish Leader Original

This beautiful blended scotch whisky uses traditional methods of production. The smooth blended scotch has a palate full of rich toffee and nuts and is well-balanced with silky smoothness and spicy. This big, full bodied whisky has subtle smokiness, and is fruity with hints of malt, sherry and sweet oak. Already a favourite with connoisseurs, its delicate smoky finale sets it apart from other blends.

It features the Manufacture Piaget 430P mechanical hand-wound movement, and the eventful strap is adorned with striking peacock feathers.
