“
While stunning aesthetics
alone are enough to catch the
eye, the simple reason behind
the growing number of
aficionados is that timepieces
and jewellery have long been
hallmarks of style and
sophistication; they marry form
and function and actually
become more precious as time
goes by. Little wonder then that
the demand for these statement
making items continue to grow.
It has been an honour for us at
ION Orchard to cater to this
exclusive group of collectors.
Together with the brands we
partner with, we continue to
deliver the most comprehensive
luxury offerings in Singapore.
Now, not only does ION Orchard
house some of the biggest names
in luxury, it also offers retail
experiences like no other.
Mr Chris Chong, CEO
ION Orchard
The largest collection of horology
movements at ION Orchard
PATEK PHILIPPE
SEVEN years after its opening
in 2009, ION Orchard has
established its reputation as
the purveyor of watchmaking
expertise. The crown jewel of
luxury retail continues to dazzle
aficionados with some of the
world’s biggest names in luxury
watches, counting horological
legends among them.
A treasure trove of 20 jewellery
and watch boutiques attracts
locals and tourists alike. However,
it is not only the wide selection of
top-end brands that impresses.
ION Orchard also offers premium, first-of-its-kind retail experiences that are hard to replicate.
Tiffany&Co.’s sprawling streetfront duplex store at ION Orchard
boasts the most beautiful VIP
rooms in Southeast Asia.
Officine Panerai’s ION Orchard
boutique commands the largest
collection in Asia.
Van Cleef & Arpels’ store, which
is the largest in Singapore,
features an exclusive bridal bar
to help customers create that
dream wedding.
Chaumet recently relaunched
its boutique with a new look
that incorporates an eye-catching luxe facade backlit with
royal blue glass.
French architect and designer
Jean-Michel Wilmotte headed the
revamp. His portfolio includes
the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in
VACHERON CONSTANTIN
Paris and Incheon International
Airport, to name but a few.
Pa t e k P h i l i p p e r e c e n t l y
expanded its premises to nearly
3,000 square feet, making it the
brand’s biggest flagship boutique
in Southeast Asia and the second
largest in Asia.
Va c h e r o n C o n s t a n t i n ’s
Southeast Asian flagship and
Ja e g e r- LeCoultre’s second
Singapore boutique are also
located at ION Orchard.
ION Orchard differentiates
itself from other luxury retail
hubs with constant engagement
via multiple platforms. The
focus on experiential retailing
takes the humdrum out of
bricks-and-mortar shopping.
Some of the brands extend
exclusive invitations to previews
and specially curated events.
OFFICINE PANERAI
Exclusive exhibitions of fine
watches and jewellery are a
regular feature here.
To enable shoppers to better
appreciate the mall’s luxury
offerings, the mall explores the
use of technology to bring the
exhibits to life with multimedia
elements such as video walls
and stunning photography.

Haute horlogerie continues
to capture the imagination
The mesmerising centuries-old art of horology never goes out of style. The development of the
quartz movement in the 1970’s had dealt a big blow to the Swiss watch industry. However,
leading horology houses fought back with eye-catching designs and mind-boggling,
state-of-the-art movements in the 1980’s. Today, with the omnipresence of synchronised,
digital devices, watches are no longer necessities. A well-made timepiece has become a luxury
to covet, a treasure to cherish, and an heirloom to pass on to the next generation.

Saxonia Moon Phase
A. LANGE & SÖHNE #02-05A
The latest model of the A. Lange
& Söhne Saxonia family stands
out with its lucid design and the
compelling combination of two
popular combinations: a precise
moon-phase display and the
famous characteristic Lange
outsize date. The Saxonia Moon
Phase’s self-winding calibre
L086.5 is already the eminent
Saxon manufactory’s 16th movement with this popular astronomical complication. Thanks
to a precisely calculated sevenstage transmission, the display
reproduces the period from
new moon to new moon with an
accuracy of 99.998 per cent.
The ample 72-hour power reserve
is achieved with only one mainspring barrel.
BUBEN & ZÖRWEG
At first glance, one may mistake
it for an art deco piece. The new
Galaxy XL safe channels a
retro-futuristic look with a
fusion of high quality leather,
exotic woods and high-gloss
metallic paint developed by
Buben & Zörweg. The aesthetically pleasing chrome-plated,
stainless steel metal handles on
the doors allow access to the
safe and its precious content.
This masterpiece of German
craftsmanship comes with
certified security (VdS I), as well
as Swiss security lock.

Clé de Cartier
Automatic Skeleton
CARTIER #01-20 & #02-10
CARTIER
The Clé de Cartier owes its
name to its winding crown, the
shape and clicking action of
which are inspired by traditionally-wound clocks. The remarkable representation of Cartier’s
design ingenuity introduces the
Maison’s first skeleton movement with automatic winding,
the calibre 9612 MC, which
merges naturally into the skeletonised architecture. The extravagance of the Roman numerals is
typical of the Cartier skeleton
model. In this open-work design,
the bridges in the shape of the
numerals III, VI, IX and XII
structure the movement and
define its appearance between
solid and void, transparency of
the outlines and organic vitality
of the watch components.

BUBEN & ZORWEG #04-06
The La D de Dior collection
embodies the spirit of Dior
jewellery, bold creativity, combinations of materials and
colours and all the know-how of
Swiss watchmaking. Designed
like a “satin ribbon”, La D de
Dior Satine features a Milanese
mesh steel bracelet, whose
flexibility and shine make it a
real metallic fabric. Each detail
speaks of precious refinement
and a dedication to excellence:
The delicate dials are in white
or black mother-of-pearl ,and
the precious bezels, crowns and
buckles are set with diamonds.
JAEGER-LECOULTRE
Reverso Tribute Calendar pays
tribute to both horological
content and aesthetics. On one
side, it displays a traditional
function, a complete calendar,
and on the other, the exclusive
Reverso Duo function. The
graphic narrative on the front
exudes intense sophistication
epitomised in the hammered
moon-phase display. The moonphase is echoed in perfect
symmetry on the back with an
opulently staged day/night
indicator. Anthracite predominates on the guilloché dial with
its “clous de Paris” hobnail
finish, making a perfect match
with the elegant pink gold of
the case.
IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN
The heritage of the iconic Big
Pilot’s Watch traces back to the
production of the first Special
Pilot’s Watch in 1936. A discreet
optical makeover of the new
model has resulted in an
uncanny resemblance to the
1940 original. The triangular
index is once again positioned
below the chapter ring, while
the numerals appear slightly
bolder and the five-minute
indices a little slimmer. The
IWC-manufactured 51111 calibre
enables the power reserve of
over seven days to be built up
within no time. The 46-millimetre stainless-steel case is
water-resistant to 6 bar.
Hublot Big Band Unico Sapphire
L’ATELIER BY
THE HOUR GLASS #03-06
L’ATELIER BY
THE HOUR GLASS
Demonstrating Hublot’s groundbreaking use of materials, the
Big Band Unico Sapphire lays
the art of mechanical watchmaking completely bare with
its absolutely transparent architecture. The case middle, bezel
and back of the Big Bang Unico
Sapphire are cut straight from
blocks of sapphire, a material that
is as hard and water-resistant as
diamond. Its skeleton dial, made
from transparent resin, reveals
all the gears of the proprietary
Unico HUB 1242 movement and
its f inishes. A transparent
strap complements its ethereal
silhouette. The Big Bang Unico
Sapphire is water-resistant to
50 metres and is available in
500 limited edition pieces.
OFFICINE PANERAI
The new Radiomir 1940 Minute
Repeater Carillon Tourbillon
GMT is technically the most
complicated watch ever made
by the brand. It boasts the new
P.2005/MR Manufacture movement, a hand-wound skeleton
calibre and a double minute
repeater mechanism chiming
either local time or a second
time zone. Even more remarkable, it features the innovative
double hour and minute
repeater function, as well as the
patented tourbillon regulator,
which can be admired from
both the front and back of the
watch, thanks to the skeletonised design.
OMEGA
Within the deep blue waters of
Earth, OMEGA has always
found both inspiration and
opportunity. In 2005, after
decades of experience above
and below the waves, the brand
looked to the true legends of
ocean exploration to help it
create the Planet Ocean collection. Already a highly functional and stylish tool on land and
at sea, OMEGA is proud to now
introduce the next generation
of this popular collection. Even
more impressive is the Master
Chronometer rating that now
accompanies
every
model.
Certified at the industry’s highest level for precision and
performance, today’s Planet
Ocean 600M Master Chronometer is navigating new waters in
watchmaking excellence.

Carrera Heuer 01 reveals the

Modular with 12 different components, the design opens up a

TIFFANY&CO.
The world’s premier jeweller
brings its craftsmanship and
expertise into watchmaking. An
exemplary horological achievement is the famous Tiffany East
West® collection that is inspired
by an ingenious Tiffany travel
clock from the 1940s. The creative
and daring design reinvents the
rules of watchmaking with a
dial set horizontally instead of
vertically. Water-resistant to
30 metres / 100feet / 3 ATM,
the Swiss-made timepiece ticks
to a self-winding mechanical
movement. Its rectangular 18k
rose gold case and white
guilloché dial featuring gold
poudré numerals, with a brown
alligator strap to match, exude
sheer elegance.

pear-shaped diamond with
dazzling light.
