Patek Philippe Nautilus is a watch that has gained a lot of popularity over the years for being visually stunning and practical at the same time. The Swiss company that started its operation in the 18^th century, it still holds a place among the most elite watches in the entire world.

Background

The company has been around since 1839 and they have been constantly working on new and innovative feet in the watch business, they were so committed that in 1844 they filled the first patent for the world’s first keyless winding system on their watches, their work was so revolutionary that it paved the way for every self-winding watch there has ever been made. Over the year Patek Philippe has made a lot of research and patents over the years and although you may not know the brand as commonly as many other mainstream brands, but Patek Philippe has been the backbone of the industry from the very beginning.

Patek Philippe Nautilus was launched in 1976 and since then it has become an icon watch that the company is known for. The watch was the first in their line that was able to be worn in a formal as well as sportswear. Patek Philippe Nautilus has been into production since 1976 and the timepiece has been in constant improvement ever since today the watch is available in multiple variants that not only offer the watch for men but some models would be much suited for the females that like our brand.

If you know anything about cars is that once the car gets into the vintage category, its price significantly increases, the same goes for this timepiece. Older and discontinued timepieces are worth more than the original and new timepieces. Which multimillionaires like Aaron David consider it as the perfect investment opportunity.

SPOTLIGHT: Sweet vinyl by DREAMOUR

What happens when two immensely talented visionaries come together to create elegance and ingenuity in a sculptural glass fragranced candle? Dreamour. That is the long and short version of how Dreamour was created. Founded by Karissa Rowe and Neal Klotsman in late September 2022, Dreamour was founded with the goal of creating a luxury fragrance brand that operates at the intersection of functional art in the candle market space.

Rowe, a Parsons School of Design graduate, set out to fill the niche of integrating design in the candle marketplace. Unlike most candle vessels that are mass-produced, Dreamour’s founders desired to prioritize the artisanal craftsmanship of glass in their production processes of the sculptural glass designs. This resulted in a long timeline of sourcing the globe for talented glass artisans who could transform a sketch into a functional and sophisticated candle vessel. Each and every candle vessel is hand-blown, inherently resulting in a one-of-a-kind product and unique experience for the consumer. These functional fragrant candles also act as a piece of décor due to its sculptural and alluring appearance.

Sweet Vinyl, Dreamour’s first candle scent, fills the room with musky & leathery notes combined with earthy notes of vetiver and cypriol, topped with a citrus touch of bergamot and mandarin. The founders worked with master perfumers in Grasse, France, to create a scent that invoked notes of memorable moments, emphasizing high quality ingredients in the fragrances in a soy wax blend. This resulted in candles that consist of clean ingredients, a vegan formula, and is entirely cruelty-free.

It is the personification of the glass blowers’ spirit, the heart of Grasse imprisoned in a bottle, and the narrative of two visionaries that sets Dreamour at the top of the candle market pedestal. Dreamour embodies the sophistication and savior-faire French perfumery as a luxury brand, while being a NYC based brand. Dreamour is currently stocked at Patron of the New in New York, along with other major designer luxury known brands. Rowe and Klotsman are currently expanding their production lines and will drop new fragrances and designs in early 2023. Don’t expect anything ordinary with Dreamour, as they will continue to bring a unique perspective to the marketplace of home fragrances.
