HM4 Thunderbolt by Maximillian Büsser and Friends : “A watch that flies higher than most,” gushes art director Anton Pietersen. “Aviation-inspired, limited-edition and available in three variations, each made up of 300+ components, they took three years to develop… I guess great things do come in threes!” -

9. Jewellery by Kallie : Like a crow, account director Cat Anderson is drawn to all things small and shiny: “I love the way Kallie is giving a second life to old coins. If you're as patriotic and Saffa-mad as I am, you just want to wear her simple, beautiful pieces all the time.” -

Spring is most definitely here and the sun has even been spotted in Cape Town, albeit briefly.

Flick through the gallery above to see Annemarie’s sleeping beauty, Sumien and Lise’s floral fantasia, Mali and Debbie’s chairs to soak up the sun, Cecilia and Nadine’s efforts to get organised, and Anton and Cat’s drool-worthy bling.
