Cartier Reimagines Its Emblematic Santos de Cartier Wristwatch In a Smaller Size

Not just for pilots or fashionistas, the latest accessory, now in a more petite size and available in a dual-tone colourway, is a must-have for the discerning collector.

Originally crafted for the pioneering aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1904, the Santos de Cartier timepiece has oft been touted as the first modern wristwatch, breaking away from the pocket-watch tradition that had been the fashionable norm in the previous century. Its distinctive square case and visible screws—once a hidden aspect of horology—have become defining aesthetic elements of the singular design and collection. 

In 2025, Cartier introduces a new iteration of the Santos de Cartier, a smaller model that nonetheless reflects the proportions of the original designs. Measuring 27 mm x 34.5 mm, this latest design is available in both gold and steel, showcasing a blend of materials that enhances its elegance. Cartier maintains the design principles that characterise the larger models (as seen on Tom Cruise or Jake Gyllenhaal)—pure lines, precise shapes, and exquisite details—while contrasting these with the industrial allure of its visible screws.

Cindy Chao’s White Label Collection: Wearable Art For Life’s Most Meaningful Moments

Exceptional creations with the highest standards of artistic jewellery, Cindy Chao’s White Label Collection is perfect for all the right reasons and seasons.

We have witnessed the striking presence of Cindy Chao’s masterpieces in only a handful of prestigious settings: on the red carpet worn by award-winning stars of note, and as centrepieces in haloed museums, displayed in well-lit, foreboding glass cases to be admired from afar. You may look, but certainly not touch these works of rare art. 

Cindy Chao The Art Jewel has garnered admiration from connoisseurs and collectors alike over the years as the artist’s work is that perfect amalgam of bejewelled sculptures that can be worn with glittering ease. A perfectly structured leaf or butterfly dazzling in diamonds and precious stones—it must be the art jewel Chao is synonymous with. 

While the iconic Black Label Masterpieces remain the crown jewels of the maison, the White Label Collection represents an exquisite expression of Cindy Chao’s artistic universe. It not only embodies the essence of artistic jewellery but also offers a sophisticated entry into her sculptural aesthetic through captivating thematic series, most notably the celebrated Four Seasons.

Humansa’s Don So on Redefining Well-Being in Asia and Health as a Lifelong Journey

Exploring the innovative approach of Humansa, where health optimisation meets luxury.

In an era where health and wellness have transcended mere trends to become the most paramount of priorities, Don So, CEO of Humansa, stands at the forefront of this transformative, evolving movement. His latest endeavour seeks to revolutionise the way we approach health management, particularly in the vibrant metropolis of Hong Kong. Robb Report Hong Kong speaks with So to shed light on Humansa’s innovative approach, the philosophy underpinning its services, and the compelling reasons behind why the health industry is witnessing a significant shift.

So’s journey into health optimisation is rooted in a profound understanding of human needs, cultivated through years of experience in an altogether entirely different industry: wealth management. What he studied was human behaviour and patterns—a sociological study, as he articulates that “the traditional view of health as merely the absence of illness is not sufficient. We are entering an era where optimal health is not just desirable—it is essential.”

Schlumberger’s solar rays have never been more golden, but the centre stone is the star.

A new star is born—or perhaps, a new constellation.

Tiffany & Co. has announced the launch of new pieces from the renowned Apollo collection, originally conceived by the legendary French jewellery designer Jean Schlumberger. Reinterpreting the classic Apollo clip from 1957, this latest offering introduces a sophisticated range of contemporary jewellery that pays homage to the collection’s enduring, ethereal legacy that has limned a narrative inspired by the cosmos.
