Perfectly elegant for everyday wear, it acts as a decorative accessory for an evening gown. In short, it is the little black dress - for the wrist. A watch that wants to celebrate, socialize and be in the spotlight.

The hand-wound caliber (movement with manual winding, 100 individual components, 17 jewels, and several specialties of watchmaking from Glashütte) is designed to last. The brushed stainless steel case and sapphire crystal disc are polished reminiscent of old pocket watches. The case is only 33 millimeters in diameter, has a sapphire crystal or stainless steel case back, and is secured with a fine strap made of velvet leather. As for Ludwig? Certainly, an unusual name for a lady's watch, but that makes the model more interesting.

Roland Schwertner founded the watch manufactory NOMOS Glashütte in 1990. Today it is the largest German manufacturer of mechanical watches. NOMOS Glashütte develops and manufactures exclusively its own calibers; each watch is created in-house.

Quality over quantity. As the world hopefully moves away from fast fashion and towards more sustainable product consumption Saphir Médaille d’Or products are a great companion. We help to prolong the lifetime of your favourite leather pieces, be that your favourite pair of loafers or the little clutch bag you took on your first date.

Since being awarded the médaille d’or at the 1925 Universal exhibition in Paris, Saphir continues to use the same time-honoured formulas as part of its range today.

As we welcome the 4th generation into the family business, we are proud to continue to provide superior quality shoes care and accessories, made from high-quality ingredients and with a sustainable vision at our core.

Good quality leather goods can last an indefinite amount of time if regularly cared for and nourished with our products, evolving and maturing with their owner.

Striking, clear shapes such as squares, rectangles, diamonds, and circles made of brushed silver or gold: German goldsmith Anna-Lena Steidle specifically focuses on timeless unisex designs in her creations, which can be combined with each other as desired due to their purist design language. "The ability to combine all jewelry pieces with each other is essential to the DNA of the label," says the designer herself.

Behind the label, ANNALENASTEIDLE is a small one-woman business. In her small old building studio with the light planked floor in Hamburg Ottensen, the goldsmith manufactures each piece of jewelry individually.

In order to avoid overproduction and not waste any materials, each accessory is created only after it has been ordered. In her collections, the designer attaches great importance to high-quality materials, the origin of which she takes a close look at. In this way, recycled gold is used to create timeless pieces of jewelry for eternity that can be passed on to the next generations. 

Designer Rita Balta founded Bal Designs in 2014. The brand believes in a healthy environment and in high-quality products. Bal Designs is convinced that slow fashion and everybody´s sustainable consumption can have a strong impact on the environment.

The brand obtains its basketballs from local schools and sports clubs. In this way, they not only create beautiful bags but first of all clean up the environment in which we live and work. They then proceed with the collected balls in their workshops in Cologne.

Each Bal Designs bag is handmade, unique, and tells its own story. Their customers spend a lot of time looking for the perfect bag because the joy of the bag lasts for eternity.
