Because this celebration is an opportunity to celebrate wonder, this selection of objects and clothing ranges from the most sensible to the most extravagant. Enough to give ideas to place under the Christmas tree.
Christmas offers a break of joy, an opportunity to show gratitude and express love to loved ones. The task is immense, and it falls to a gift to be the messenger of the tenderest thoughts. Therefore, it's about hitting the mark. A bit of an adventurer, very concerned with his appearance, a fan of high technology, a connoisseur of the arts... None of these, or all at once? Each man has his character and tastes. Finding a present that perfectly matches those dear to you: that is the mission of our gift selection.
Christmas at full speed
To hit the bullseye with an aesthete, there are essentials, including the watch. Iconic models, exceptional pieces, assertive sports styles… You will find a selection signed by the greatest watchmakers. Like the Tank de Cartier, first launched in 1919, whose square shape is directly inspired by Renault tanks. Those with a more athletic look will be charmed by the assertive character of the Audemars Piguet dial. These accessories will complete an outfit in the spirit of the times, consisting of an Ami trucker collar sweater, a Tod’s aviator wool jacket, or a Saint Laurent backpack. Of course, with a touch of tech: connected sunglasses in the colors of Ray-Ban or an Apple's latest generation iMac, to enhance working comfort at home.
The designer's eye
Christmas can also be a good way to update one's interior. Here, the big names in luxury invite themselves into the world of design. Like Louis Vuitton, which has enriched its collection of beautiful objects with the Belt chair designed by Atelier Oï. It evokes the French trunk maker's expertise in leatherwork, with its eight wide bands creating a relief of shifting dunes. At Dior, you will also find a balloon lamp designed in collaboration with Pierre Yovanovitch, inviting timelessness. This model highlights traditional woodworking techniques and noble assemblies. Flower lovers will appreciate displaying them in a Hermès vase made of transparent Murano blown glass, dressed in a removable green leather sheath, adorned at the base with a perforated H. Finally, for those who appreciate bubbles for all occasions, there’s no doubt that the Vertigo champagne bucket by Christofle will delight these enthusiasts."
