With stylish and cutting-edge design backed up by mechanically supreme movements, the Versace Vanitas, like all Versace timepieces, is aimed at the informed and discerning customer with a sophisticated understanding of both style and quality. The Vanitas collection is part of the brand’s accessories line and draws heavy inspiration from its decorative elements and related design motifs. The imagery and arrangement of the piece allows for themes to be woven into it with equanimity. The matelassé effect Baroque pattern and the Medusa head appear on the dial, the Greek key is beautifully engraved on the bezel, and the entire strap is spangled with another of the Maison’s iconic details: a plethora of studs that illuminate it like radiant bursts of warm light. There is also a second, larger strap supplied with the watch that reprises the quilted Baroque pattern. For the next season, Vanitas will extend the colour palette to lime yellow, turquoise and purple. These colours, seen in the prêt-à-porter Versace collection, are reinterpreted inmore vivid plain shades and transformed into vibrant monochrome colours with the of use exclusively glossy materials: IP rose gold for the case, enamel for the dial and bezel, and traditional patent leather for the strap.
