Since Berluti is famous for using Venezia leather, soft Italian calf leather, this watch was expected to have leather straps. However, Hublot decided to push the envelope by creating a leather dial as well. andnbsp;Both the Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti models were unveiled at the Baselworld 2016. Limited to 250 pieces, The Berluti Scritto is given a tobacco-colour leather dial that comes in an 18k rose gold case. Its leather straps are engraved with 18th century calligraphy. The All Black, on the other hand, sports a black leather dial fitted in a ceramic case. Its strap features Berluti's signature Gaspard incision. The All Black is limited to 500 models./p p style="text-align: center;"/p pFor more information, visit a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.hublot.com/en/" target="_blank"Hublot/a/p pandnbsp;/p pstrongJaeger-LeCoultre and Christian Louboutin/strong/p pandnbsp;/p pTo celebrate the 85th birthday of Jaeger-LeCoultreandrsquo;s Reverso watch, the brand joined hands with designer Christian Louboutin to design a unique timepieceandmdash;the Reverso Classic Duetto watch. The watch, unveiled at the Baselworld earlier this year, is inspired by Louboutinandrsquo;s design aesthetics. With a swivelling case, (one that rotates on an axis), the front dial resembles Reversoandrsquo;s typical art-deco one; while the back dial, with warm orange and yellow tones, is given a quirky touch. The back dialandrsquo;s diamond-studded bezel only adds to its beauty. The strap of this timepiece also reflects Louboutinandrsquo;s design sensibilities. andnbsp;With an iridescent rainbow effect, the strap looks like the colours on it alternate between hues of blue, green and violet./p p style="text-align: center;"/p pandnbsp;/p pFor more information, visit a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/ww/en/home-page.html" target="_blank"Jaeger-LeCoultre/a/p pandnbsp;/p pstrongUlysse Nardin and Christophe Claret/strong/p pandnbsp;/p pLuxury watchmakers Ulysse Nardin and Christophe Claret teamed up to create a limited edition nautical timepiece for the discerning. The watch, called Ulysse Nardin Grand Deck Marine Tourbillon, is an 18k white gold timepiece inspired by classic yachts. The highlight of the watch is its teak wood pattern dial that looks like the deck of a sailboat. The movement on the dial is truly dramatic, thanks to its mechanism that looks similar to the rigging of a boat./p pandnbsp;/p p style="text-align: center;"/p pandnbsp;/p pandnbsp;/p pFor more information, visit a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ulysse-nardin.com/" target="_blank"Ulysse Nardin/a/p pandnbsp;/p pstrongDe Grisogono and Samsung Gear S2andnbsp;/strong/p pandnbsp;/p pSwiss jeweller De Grisogono joined forces with Samsung to unveil the Samsung Gear S2 by de Grisogono in March this year.
