A wristwatch can be a simple device used to A.) Keep track of time; or B.) Serve as a mesmerizing way to express your individuality. Hublot is clearly in the “B” column as evidenced by their Big Bang Collection. The brand has a reputation for “interesting” colors as evidenced by earlier smoked black, red, blue and transparent sapphire models, so the Big Bang’s yellow is a continuance of the firm’s efforts to stretch the envelope of style. The Big Bang’s lab-grown transparent yellow sapphire is infused with copper and aluminum oxide for additional brilliance; it is about as discrete as Lady Gaga in Amish country, but it is also extremely durable. On the Mohs Scale of density, diamonds score a 10; yellow sapphire scores a 9. Inside resides a conservative choice — a Zenith El Primero-based HUB4700 automatic chronograph movement. Only 100 will be made, making this a must-buy for those horographs who also enjoy making a bold fashion statement; Hublot.com.

Inner Canvas
In the quiet elegance of the De La Cruz Family Private Collection in Key Biscayne, the lines between muse and masterpiece dissolve. Draped in silky textures that echo the rich tones of the walls, the model moves — nostalgic, timeless and eternal. Each frame captures her presence among the storied canvases, as if she were painted into a world where art is not just displayed — it is embodied.
