The post RESPONDING TO THE AUSTRALIAN BUSHFIRE CRISIS appeared first on Kennedy.

The landmark openings of the sophisticated Panerai, IWC Schaffhausen and Jaeger-LeCoultre boutiques grows Kennedy, Australia’s leading watch retailer, to 14 boutiques Australia-wide. 

Panerai has opened its second stand-alone boutique in King Street which is a blend of the brand’s heritage, craftmanship and technical expertise and connected to its Florentine roots and passion for the underwater world.

“Opening Panerai’s first Australian boutique in Melbourne was an exciting and proud moment for Kennedy and now our close relationship has expanded to the heart of Sydney with a beautiful new boutique that reflects the two companies’ qualities of timeless elegance, luxury and sophistication,’’ said Kennedy Executive Chairman James Kennedy.

Kennedy also partnered with IWC Schaffhausen when they opened their first Australian boutique in Melbourne in February 2018. Watch enthusiasts as well as international visitors to Sydney will now be able to discover the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer’s six watch families in an elegant setting in a prime location on King Street.

“We are proud to grow our partnership with the opening of this second IWC Schaffhausen boutique and are looking forward to upholding the passion, innovation and technical excellence the brand is renowned for,’’ Mr Kennedy said.

After 186 years of rich Swiss history, Jaeger-LeCoultre opened its first Australian boutique in partnership with Kennedy in King Street. The intimate setting instantly connects the clients with the feeling of exclusivity and privacy.

“This first boutique is a celebration of fine watch-making and it is a privilege to be working together,’’ Mr Kennedy said.

The post Kennedy Opens Three New Sydney Boutiques appeared first on Kennedy.

Panthere de Cartier

Known as a watch and jewel at once, the Panthère de Cartier boasts style and chic on any wrist. This versatile timepiece has signature Roman numerals and blued steel sword-shaped hands, with the combination of metals making it an occasion or day-wear wardrobe staple.

Patek Philippe Split Seconds, Perpetual Calendar 

Impressive gifting doesn’t quite get any more extravagant than the Patek Philippe Split Seconds Chronograph, Perpetual Calendar. The split-seconds chronograph is one of the three most difficult complications to master, alongside the tourbillon and the minute repeater. It takes a highly sophisticated mechanism to control the two chronograph hands, one of which may be stopped to measure an intermediate or lap time or retain a reference time while the other continues its course unaffected, even by fractions of a second. When released again, the split-seconds hand instantly catches up with the primary hand and the two stacked hands move on together.

Graff Spiral 

Symbolising eternal love, the Spiral case is transfixing – each gleaming curve set with hand-selected diamonds can be traced until it seamlessly disappears back into itself. An exquisite choice for any event or special occasion. The Spiral watch has a choice of miniature mother of pearl or diamond pavé dial at its heart, offering two equally beguiling effects.
