There are so many cities to visit in Germany. How do you choose which ones to add to your travel list? The European country of Germany has a long, but not always a favorable history. Germany’s many regions provide travelers a wide variety of distinct and rewarding experiences. You can find almost whatever you need – beautiful scenery, great architecture, exciting nightlife, lively festivals, delicious cuisine and much more!

We want to share 5 amazing cities to visit in Germany. First is Duesseldorf, the city by the Rhine river that attracts many visitors through its fun lifestyle and fashion. Leipzig, the city of music, which was home to many famous composers, like Bach and Mendelssohn. Nuremberg, with its historic sights and traditions. Munich, the city that needs no introduction. Last but not least Stuttgart, a must-see for any car enthusiast.

Duesseldorf – Fashion Hub

Duesseldorf is the fashion capital of Germany, and known to set trends. Not only is it home to 800 designer showrooms, it is also lined with many exclusive boutiques, especially at its famous Koenigsallee. Duesseldorf’s Old Town is known to be more unconventional with many restaurants and bars that keep the party going until the early morning.

Leipzig – Music to My Ears

Leipzig lives and breathes music. Its most famous landmarks include the two opera venues, Gewandhaus Orchestra and Leipzig Opera, and it is also the home of the St. Thomas Choir, one of the world’s oldest boys’ choirs. Fun fact: composer Richard Wagner was born in Leipzig and went to university there.

Nuremberg – History Abound

The Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg is a must-see! It is the largest museum of cultural history in the German-speaking region, and contains 1.3 million fantastic exhibits that entertain and educate visitors. Don’t forget to grab a traditional Nuremberg sausage while in town, which has been enjoyed there since the 14th century.

Munich – The Heart of Bavaria

It is no secret that Munich is one of the most beautiful cites in Germany, and a top travel destination. Especially in the summer, the city produces a lifestyle that isn’t easily found anywhere else.

Arnold & Son celebrates the year of the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Water Rabbit with a new artistic version of the brand’s Perpetual Moon “Year of the Rabbit” timepiece. The luxury watch brand continues its annual celebration of the traditional Chinese calendar. This time with this limited new series of eight high-precision moon-phase wristwatches. The Perpetual Moon “Year of the Rabbit” timepiece features a sculpted golden rabbit set against a backdrop of black aventurine. It poses next to a pagoda and is surrounded by waterfalls.

The Perpetual Moon “Year of the Rabbit” timepiece is symbolic, powerful, sophisticated, and full of meaning. Arnold & Son has sculpted the animal in a calm yet watchful pose. For example, it sits majestically against a backdrop of black aventurine, beneath a great mother-of-pearl moon. In Chinese Zodiac iconography, the water rabbit is the moon’s loyal companion. In addition to its fine watchmaking movement, the timepiece also displays masterful aesthetics.

The year of the Water Rabbit begins on Saturday, January 21, 2023. Based on the founding legends of the Chinese Zodiac, the rabbit inhabits a white jade moon, and serves as its pet. The rabbit embodies prudence and agility. As a result, when shown alongside the characteristic element of the year of the Water Rabbit, this animal promises longevity, peace, and prosperity.

Celestial light

Arnold & Son accommodates a large moon on the watch dial. In a large aperture, a turning disc reveals the waxing and waning of the night’s celestial body. Plus, one will see the appearance of the crescent moon and its light. The moon is crafted from mother-of-pearl with painted elements in relief. All are enhanced with Super-LumiNova.

Pale during the day, it transforms at night. This, it shines brightly and is adorned with scintillating details. The luxury watch’s dial contains aquatic elements. As a result, it adds further dimension to the scene. In the background, the disc bearing the star is made from deep black aventurine glass.

Artistic expression

The rabbit remains the dial’s key element. Sculpted in three dimensions, it is crafted from 18-karat rose gold. This time consuming work is worthy of the exceptional attention Arnold & Son has always paid to its limited series created in tribute to the Chinese Zodiac.

The same holds true for the watch dial. On a disc of black aventurine glass, the foliage and pagoda decorations are hand-painted with gold powder. Continuing, the Perpetual Moon “Year of the Rabbit” timepiece model is mounted on a glistening black alligator leather strap. Notice the visible platinum stitching and a lining of auspicious red alligator leather.

Expert watchmaking

Thanks to the watch manufacture’s research and development efforts, the moon phase display of this movement is extremely precise. For example, it will remain accurate for 122 years before deviating from the actual lunar cycle by one day. Hence, the Perpetual Moon “Year of the Rabbit” timepiece will work in perfect harmony with the astronomic, astrological, and collection cycles. This unique sense of eternity is characteristic of all Arnold & Son creations.

The Life of Luxury has access to all top luxury watch brands from around the world. Let us help you locate and purchase that ideal luxury watch. Contact us today.

Valentine’s Day is tomorrow February 14. Many people are trying to find that perfect luxury gift for that special person in their life. Thus, many Valentine’s Day gifts come straight from the heart. Valentine’s Day first began to be widely celebrated in Britain, around the 17th century.

Now, Valentine’s Day occurs every year on February 14. Across many countries around the world, this holiday is a tribute to love. Hence, gifts, flowers and candy are exchanged between people, all in the name of St. Valentine.

But in this Valentine’s Day gift guide from Bloomberg, the focus is on your loved one’s wrists, ears, and feet, plus with gifts to wear. Ultimately, the result is to proudly show how much they are truly loved.

Dinh Van Paris Double Coeurs R27 pendant necklace

For a truly unique piece, look to Dinh Van Paris, an independent French jewelry house founded by a former Cartier designer. It’s known for its minimalistic designs and signature notches in the pieces. The Double Coeurs R27 pendant necklace is the perfect way to show your love. It features two interlocking hearts, one set with pavé diamonds. $10,670, dinhvan.com

Louis Vuitton LV x YK LV Trainer Sneaker

The fashion world has gone dotty lately, thanks to Louis Vuitton’s collaboration with avant-garde Japanese artist and princess of polka dots Yayoi Kusama. She lent her signature dots to a host of Louis Vuitton products, but one of our favorites is the sneaker designed by the maison’s late designer, Virgil Abloh. It’s one of the subtler pieces in the collection (really), and it’s also available in black if the red is too bold. $1,360, louisvuitton.com

Winston Flowers One & Only Flowers

These flowers are a far cry from the typical Valentine’s Day arrangements you’ll find at most big florists. Winston Flower’s One & Only arrangement features dozens of pink- and red-hued blossoms, including several rare types of flowers. Four varieties of crimson roses and cherry-red Clooney ranunculus nestle alongside pink phalaenopsis orchids and tulips. It comes in a sleek grey vessel your beloved will use again and again. $750, winstonflowers.com

Bulgari Serpenti Tubogas Infinity

If you really want a wow factor that she can wear on her wrist, Bulgari’s slithering Serpenti watch has a new look this year. Instead of coiling steel or precious metals to create the bracelet, each scale is an individual rose-gold ring set with diamonds. Once assembled, the diamonds create a swirling motif that encircles the wrist. The dial features snow-set diamonds, and the bezel is diamond-set as well. In total, the watch has 486 diamonds. $85,500 (available in stores)

Cartier Tank Française

The unisex Tank Française watch has been a classic since its debut in 1996, and Cartier just launched a refreshed look for the collection. The changes are all slight but combine to create a more modern look with satin finishes, a slimmed-down crown, a more comfortable and flexible bracelet, and a sunray dial with applied Roman numerals. It’s available in three sizes in steel and yellow gold, with an option of diamonds on the gold models, so there’s a perfect watch for everyone. From $3,550, cartier.com

Oura Ring

If they love to track their steps, workouts and sleep but are trying to be more present and cutting down on distractions in 2023, the Oura ring is the perfect gift. The sleek ring looks just like a normal piece of jewelry, but it provides an impressive amount of information about sleep quality, fitness and health. The best part? No pesky notifications to draw their eye during your dates. It comes in silver, gold and black, and fashionistas will love the Gucci collaboration. From $299, ouraring.com

Cadar Endless Hoop Earrings

Heart jewelry can be polarizing. While it’s undoubtedly a romantic gesture, some people find the shape to be a bit cheesy. Cadar has an elegant solution. These heart-shaped earrings are worn like classic hoops so from the front, the heart is hidden. It’s only from the side that you can discern the romantic shape. These new earrings feature rubies, the first time the New York-based jeweler has included colored gemstones in its collection. From $2,900, cadar.com

Fendi Baguette Bag

Fendi’s iconic Baguette bag gets a bold, new look. This model features brilliant red metallic sequins in different shapes and sizes. It has the Italian house’s signature FF clasp and comes with two straps. The short strap is perfect for date night, and the long one makes it easy to wear all day. $4,300, fendi.com

Berluti Silk and Cotton Track Pants

Elevate their casual look with these silk and cotton track pants from Berluti. They’re extremely comfortable but have the tailored, elegant silhouette the Parisian house is known for. The back pocket has a leather patch with the brand’s logo, and the side pockets have hidden zippers to keep valuables safe. Your weekend coffee runs have never looked so glamorous. $1,180, berluti.com

The Beauty Sleeper & Silk Pillowcase

Give the gift of a good night’s sleep with this silk duo from Beauty Sleeper, a Copenhagen-based brand dedicated to perfecting sleep. The chic, oversized sleep mask blocks all light, helping ensure a restful night. Pair it with a matching silk pillowcase to complete the look. Why silk? Sleeping on silk pillowcases can prevent hair breakage and bedhead because the hair slips along the silky surface. It can also help your skin and hair retain moisture, because the material doesn’t absorb products as cotton can. 200 euros ($286) (pillowcase), 160 euros ($229) ( mask), thebeautysleeper.com

The new Kross Studio x Wonder Woman tourbillon watch was created in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products and DC. DC’s Wonder Woman is a cinimatic icon. Her unique depth of character has inspired fans all around the world. As a fitting tribute to Wonder Woman’s global impact, Kross Studio has designed a complex and powerful watch. Hence, it underlines her icon status as an invincible fighter and seeker of justice.

The custom-commissioned, one-of-a-kind Kross Studio x Wonder Woman timepiece stands as a testament to Kross Studio’s daring creativity and manufacturing prowess. The Swiss luxury watch team has agile skill and creates custom designs for the most discerning collectors and enthusiasts.

Wonder Woman Movie Collection

Attractive actor Gal Gadot plays the role of Diana Prince in the Wonder Woman movie series. The first movie titled “Wonder Woman” hit theaters in May of 2017. Featuring an Amazon princess who confronts the forces of evil and bring an end to human conflict, during World War One. The second movie – 1984 came out in December of 2020. First, a botched store robbery puts Wonder Woman in a global battle against a powerful and mysterious ancient force. But that battle puts her special powers in jeopardy.

A Unique and Exceptional Superhero Watch

To produce this exceptional watch piece that embodies the superheroine, Kross Studio developed an ultra-complex new casing process. It unites the watch’s dial and movement. For example, Kross Studio engineers turned to the brand’s own central tourbillon manufacture movement to begin. Yes, the integration of the dial required a new design, inspiring a new version of the caliber KS’7000. As a result, the dial and the movement follow the curve of the sapphire crystal across its entire diameter.

Moreover, the Studio did not top the central tourbillon cage with a decorative element. Rather, it integrates Wonder Woman’s iconic emblem as an integral part of the dial. It is found above the tourbillon cage. For its part, the tourbillon cage benefits from a new design with an upper cage bridge symbolizing the Kross Studio cross.

One-of-a-kind Time Reading

Fittingly, the Kross Studio x Wonder Woman watch also presents a unique method of reading the hours and minutes. The hour hand, represents Wonder Woman’s sword. It attaches to the peripheral display mechanism in 360° orbit around the tourbillon. The superheroine’s tiara points to her shield. In turn, it reveals the disc displaying the minutes over a range of 15 minutes at 12 o’clock. Finally, the hour markers on the flange are in the shape of stars, a potent symbol of Wonder Woman.

A Stunning and Vibrant, Luxury Timepiece

The circular satin-brushed grade 5 titanium case has a design with depth and brilliance. For example, the flange and the minute disc are treated in blue pvd to the sandblasted and polished central applique in 3N gold color. The final touches go even further. Using 5-axis CNC machining techniques and hand-crafted finishes have enabled Kross Studio technicians and designers to render elements of the Wonder Woman central tourbillon watch in three dimensions.

The Kross Studio x Wonder Woman watch comes with three straps. They are easily interchangeable thanks to the ingenious quick-change strap system. One is crafted of blue calf leather strap and the second is red alligator. Lastly, the third strap comes in anthracite grey goat leather.

But beginning in 2025, the famous train will invite travelers to relive the legend aboard 17 original Orient Express cars.
