Back in 2003, designer Rachel Levy founded SEAH after researching the link between both astronomy and astrology in ancient times. The company name “SEAH” is an ancient word for “time.”

As an astrology-based luxury timepiece and jewelry line, SEAH will be releasing a new watch collection next week at the JA New York Winter Show.

The new collection will include three men’s and two women’s timepiece model, and add to SEAH’s very successful Sun Collection.

The luxury watch collection is fully patented and the world’s only one that replaces the standard numeric dial with twelve Greek zodiac signs. Each watch piece is Swiss made.

The black version includes a 46mm case, 10 ATM water resistance and is made of stainless steel plus a black enamel rotating bezel with diamond dust textured detail at each hour marker. At the 12 o’clock marker position is a satin metal star on diamond dust.

The watch’s rotating bezel can be rotated allowing the star to be pointed towards the the wearer’s astrological sign. Greek zodiac signs replace the hour markers and are offset against a black lacquer watch face. The seconds hand of The Astronomer luxury watch comes in red as well as the stitching on the Austrian Hirsch black leather strap.

The Suggested Retail Price of The Astronomer luxury watch is $695.00 and includes two straps.

Since 1852, Shreve & Co., originally The Shreve Jewelry Store, has been a vibrant part of the Bay Area fine jewelry industry and a champion of spectacular designs and established designers.

Shreve & Co., formerly The Shreve Jewelry Store, was founded in San Francisco in 1852, and incorporated in 1894.

In the past 160 years, Shreve has hosted only the highest quality of fine jewelry and timepiece designs, ranging from Mikimoto and Rolex, to Hearts on Fire, Wellendorff, and (newly) Patek Philippe.

With an unmatched offering of only the best luxury products, Shreve & Co. continues to uphold its reputation as the premier destination for distinguished timepieces and exquisite jewelry.

During the month of May, Shreve & Co. honors its storied past by celebrating the present and looking toward the future by hosting an exclusive, invitation-only reception for some of its most loyal clientele, and inviting those who are new to Shreve, to understand why it has been on top for 160 years.

For upcoming Valentine’s Day or any special occasion, a luxury watch makes the ideal gift. Van Cleef & Arpels has just released a luxury collection titled, “Poetic Complications.”

Each Poetic Wish timepiece is presented in its own extraordinary cabinet made of precious woods and mother-of-pearl inlay. The boxes tell the story of the Poetic Wish watches and, when they are put together, the young lovers from within the story are re-united. The cabinet’s interiors have been conceived following the tradition of stringed instrument makers so as to enhance the sound of the Poetic Complications. The watch, placed in its customised box, becomes a collector’s piece.

You may be wondering what was the inspiration behind the Van Cleef & Arpels luxury watch collection. Here’s the magical story …

Once upon a time, Van Cleef & Arpels asked a diamond fairy to transform the colours of time. Thanks to her, complication movements, so precious to watchmakers and to watch lovers, became poetic. This was in 2007, Van Cleef & Arpels presented a Poetic Complication: the Lady Arpels Féérie watch, equipped with a retrograde movement.

A diamond fairy indicated the hours with her wand, the minutes with the tip of her wings. Her dazzling wand had granted another wish: to a baby girl in her cradle, she promised happiness, love and joy. A few years later, Van Cleef & Arpels added another chapter to its Poetry of Time with the Une Journée à Paris watch.

The child had become a girl and she discovered the City of Romance thanks to a series of symbols on the watch’s dial: the place Vendôme column, the giant Ferris wheel of the jardin des Tuileries… and the Eiffel Tower.

In 2010, the girl was back in Paris with the Pont des Amoureux watch. Two young people, on a summer’s night, walked along a bridge on the Seine river. The young woman’s steps indicated the hours; the young man’s marked the minutes.

Slowly but surely, they came closer to finally exchange a kiss at midnight. Since then, the two young lovers have stayed in Paris and a new chapter of The Poetry of Time has been written for them. The Lady Arpels Poetic Wish and the Midnight Poetic Wish symbolize this never-ending love story.

A story where the passing of time, and its precious hours and minutes, casts a spell of eternal renewal.
