A spin-off from boutique hand-skeletonising watchmaker Armin Strom, the 'Elements' collection offers four pieces to let you reflect your personality, mood and style.

Armin Strom's breathtaking watches are bejewelled works of art. The collection includes the white gold, 1.6-carat-diamond encrusted Ladies' Square, encasing the world's smallest skeletonized movement.

Elegant, timeless designs, optimal standards and impressive functionality underline the philosophy of German boutique watchmakers.

Over the past twelve months several German watch brands have entered the Australian market with a splash by winning over watch connoisseurs with their sleek designs, brilliant technological solutions and, as you’d expect, high standards.

Every now and then a new take on an old concept comes to light and that is exactly what boutique German watchmakers have done with the classic square watch format.

The sleek, clear lines synonymous with German watch design adapt perfectly to the rectangular case shape that is once again enjoying a renaissance and when you review some of these stunning examples it's not hard to see why.

It's that something special, that 'je ne sais quoi' that gives an item an air of irresistibility and makes it a must have.

In the case of watches it might be that it's a limited edition piece or something new to the market, a special import or a one off, bespoke finish. Whatever your taste, boutique Swiss and German watchmakers are presently showcasing some beatifully refined timepieces with exceptional finishes and highly precise movements.

Boutique German watch designer Rainer Brand has released his latest tribute to style, the Sybaris Brilliant. With a clock face made from anthracite, a high-lustre mineral coal, and 64 fine white daimonds mounted by hand, this timepiece is chic, elegant and contemporary.
