As the summer season sets in, the luxury world has been abuzz with a lot of events lately. Baselworld had a lot of impressive collections from the top watch and jewellery brands this year. A particularly striking piece was MB&F’s Melchior, which looks like it has been picked right from the sets of a Hollywood sci fi movie set. Some of the designs of the new collections from Chopard and Bulgari were intriguing and adventurous.
Art Dubai also made a lot of headlines with one of the works of Kāveh Golestān, an Iranian artist and photojournalist, killed by a land-mine in 2003, while covering the Iraq War for BBC.
