Backes & Strauss, a renowned London watch and diamond house, has crafted a unique partnership with professional tennis player, Elina Avanesyan. This alliance is set to showcase a brilliant intertwining of sports, jewellery, watchmaking, and heritage, anchored by a shared Armenian identity. This goes beyond a simple ambassador partnership, as the elegantly athletic Elina Avanesyan is to serve as the face of the brand’s epitome of elegance - the Piccadilly Mayfair 33 collection.
The collaboration set to result in a distinctive ‘Elina for Backes & Strauss’ collection, draws inspiration from Avanesyan’s personal journey, her rich Armenian heritage, and the grace intrinsic to the sport of tennis. The forthcoming line up aims to combine these influences with Backes and Strauss symbiotic and longstanding emphasis on sublime diamond craftsmanship.
Breguet, a brand historically renowned for classic designs, has given a contemporary facelift to its Marine 5517 and Marine Chronograph 5527 models. Presenting itself as more than just a manufacturer of traditional timepieces, Breguet also offers sports-inspired collections. One such line is The Marine, a tribute to the time when founder Abraham-Louis Breguet was designated as the ‘Watchmaker to the French Royal Navy’. Since its first launch in the late 90s, the Marine collection has been reliving these historic sentiments and moments.
