Omega Constellation Baguette Watch

Funny how so recently I was discussing my perception that the new style Omega Constellation watches are the brand's flagship models for women, and now I get to discuss the Constellation line's flagship model. This uber-luxury timepiece not only proves my theory about Omega's high hopes for the Constellation watches, but is also probably one of the most (if not the most) luxurious jewelry pieces from Omega that has ever been made.

Omega muses that because each diamond in the watch is hand selected and cut for the piece, if a diamond would require replacement, the process would take as long as making an entire new watch as a stone would need to be selected to make a new watch. This is the Omega Constellation Baguette watch for ladies, and I am not sure if there is going to be more than one of them (only one has been made so far). The watch is in 18k white gold and has 459 very large Wesselton diamonds all over it - from the dial to the case, and all over the bracelet. The stones have what is called an "invisible mount," which makes their settings not visible. This makes them look all put together very neatly and closely. The watch contains all baguette and trapeze cut diamonds. There is also a small mother-of-pearl disc behind the star shape on the dial.

Inside the watch is an Omega Caliber 8421 automatic Co-Axial escapement mechanical movement. A lovely piece in a sick, ultra excess sort of way, the watch has over 30 carats of diamonds on it. Price? Well if you have to ask don't even bother taking out your wallet.

Fendi Fringed Zebra Baguette, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

This is one crazy looking handbag! Featuring three of the most difficult looks to pull off (fringe, zebra print, and rainbow colors) it's the very daring Fringed Zebra Baguette by Fendi. Just looking at it you're sure to have a smile on your face (whether you love it or are laughing at it!), and I suppose with all those colors it's probably pretty versatile when it comes to matching it up with outfits. Features include the multi-colored leather fringe, a removable leather shoulder strap, removable buckles, magnetic closure, and a suede lining. $5,420

I love beads and beading on almost anything, and in black and white especially it's one of those fashion elements that's in style season after season without fail. The Fendi Beaded Baguette Limited Edition features beautiful beading over the entire bag's exterior, with only the handle and front logo/closure detail being exempt. Open the bag and you get a bright dose of color in the form of a deep ruby red satin lining with an interior zip pocket and the bag's individual limited edition serial number embroidered. $6,670

Astuto Baguette Slicer

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Dining

I use a large, serrated knife to slice bread and it works particularly well with crusty loaves, where the bread might be more inclined to crack or crumble at the crust than to slice cleanly. The design of the Astuto Baguette Slicer is new to me, though the original design was made in the early 1900s, but since it is designed with the sole purpose of cutting up crispy, crusty baguettes, it seems like it would be a better choice than my favorite knife. The tool is made of cast iron and has a pine wood tray that cradles the bread as it is sliced with a sharp blade. Price: $178.
