WE started collecting and selling UNIQUE jewelry and timepieces by the same maker paired TOGETHER at the gallery’s inception IN 2013. INITIAlly, WE COLLECTED WOMEN’S WATCHES FROM Piaget’s stunning venture into hardstones and heavily textured gold IN THE LATE 1960S AND 1970S. ALSO available are Gilbert albert watches for Patek Phillipe and omega, and his own organic, rare jewels, line, Andrew Grima’s jewelry, and a sensational watch-Pendant from his “about time” collection for OMEGA as well as the “ABOUT TIME” spin-offs OMEGA Made. We Collected from the start Augustin JUlia Plana’s jewelry and watches with bands designed using rare hardstones, wood, and fine diamonds, for SchlegEL and Plana, and TIFFANY among. others. Today we HAVE EVOLVED TO sell an independent line of timepieces - A unisex selection of design-led or artist-made timepieces and jewelry watches.
