OvalOne Total White Diamond Watch

£15,200

The ultimate watch for elegance, bling and fun. Designed by the Italian designer Marco Mavilla, the time and date are not always visible on the oval shaped face, but they appear for a few seconds only after pressing the precious cabochon set in the crown, thanks to a LED system showing through the impressive diamond pave.

EyeStorm by Damien Hirst

When it comes to art, everyone should have a Hirst. His spot paintings have become iconic turn-of-the-millennium images, proving deeply influential to popular culture on a broad scale. Beyond debates on how Hirst has contributed to the world of modern art, Eyestrom would undoubtably be the talking point of any newlyweds room. Signed by the artist Lambda on Gloss Fuji Archive.

£11,000

Bar Tumbler Set

Moser’s distinctive Bar Tumbler Set evokes a sense of relaxed luxury feel through the brilliantly clear glass. The six coloured tumblers each come in a different bright colou to add an artistic edge to everyday barware.

£779
