Gianmaria Buccellati has Died

The head of the Buccellati(see previous) jewelry family, Gianmaria Buccellati has died after a period of sickness.  It wasn't until reading the notice that I realized that his brother is is Georgio, who has published one of the best modern Akkadian grammars, A Structural Grammar of Babylonian.

Watches by Jewelers

In the Boutique district of NYC (Madison Ave between 55-70, not to be confused with the Diamond district on 47th st) I came across two different high-end jewelers selling watches.  First is Buccelatti, whose somewhat classical designs in jewelry I've referenced before, with a heavily bejeweled piece.  I find it unattractive, but somewhat in keeping with their designs

The second jeweler was Graff, owned by a man who clearly has too much money.  They have a line whose case design and dialwork are clearly intended to suggest a brilliant-cut diamond.  The first piece, called the Graffstar,  is a simple three-hand watch with a sub-second dial who reinforces that with the design on the dial

In case the size isn't clear, the Tourbillon named "Mastergraff" has a DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) coated case an a diameter of 47mm.

Gianmaria Buccelatti, Part 1

The first store on your left as you walk into the Place Vendome is that of Gianmaria Buccelatti, one of the top names in contemporary Italian jewelry.  They veer more towards classical styling, frequently using unusually shaped pearls as the central element, a technique popular in the late Renaissance. 
Several pieces in that style follow:
Pearl Butterfly

Third in the formed pearls is this piece, using irregular ovoid pearls as grapes
pearl grapes
All these pictures, and more, are mine.
