The ideal accompaniment for an elegant dress watch is a bespoke sportcoat with a voluminous lapel roll, fine artisan tweed and a curvaceous barchetta pocket, and of course, bespoke hand-stitched exotic leather straps (a new Celadon option - please contact our Concierge on our website below for details)

Shown below: Celadon Imperials of the First Series in Blanc de Chine (with a beaver tail strap in azure blue) and our house signature Imperial Red (with a cherrywood alligator strap). The sportcoat is bespoke from our brother menswear brand, Maison BCHH (for more details on Maison BCHH please contact our Concierge, as they are currently in the process of launch and are still setting up their own Concierge).

The Imperial's vintage hand-engraved movement

A close-up showing the hand-engraved gold balance and escape cocks of the Engraved Edition (comprising a mere 39 pieces worldwide, never to be made again) of the Imperial First Series, done without a high magnification computer but rather with a vintage microscope from 1962.

These special watches are a symbol of a new chapter in Chinese horological history, which stretches back all the way to 1094 AD when Song dynasty China completed the world's first clock, and have already become irreplaceable collector's items.

Our iconic WBill Glenplaid Linen

A close-up shot of our iconic Glenplaid Linen which we first designed and commissioned as a bespoke fabric in 2012. 

http://avantistilo.blogspot.sg/2014/08/wbill-bespoke-run-sky-blue-glenplaid.html

We are now incorporating this suiting/jacketing linen as part of our house-exclusive offering, for Maison BCHH.

This linen will be perfect for our BCHH Riviera and Cabriolet jackets (more details on the latter this weekend).

More patterned linens are soon to follow...

The Courchevel Jacket by BCHH

Test-driving the new Courchevel jacket prototype by my new menswear label BCHH, on a cozy winter's evening.

These dapper unstructured casual chic pieces are a hybrid of sportcoat and cardigan, and perfect for apres-ski next to a roaring fire, snifter in hand. They are Made in Italy by one of the top artisans in the business for us, to our higher specifications and precise designs. The one here is in a navy wool/cashmere jersey fabric with a fantastic hand, and the productionCourchevels will be available in piqué (polo shirt) fabric from Italy and Switzerland, and jerseys in wool/cashmere from Italy. They are cut slightly shorter than a traditional sportcoat, but still cover the seat.

We're doing a version for spring/summer too, the Riviera jacket, which will be available in silk jersey and two classic shades of an absolutely stunning double-faced wool/cashmere (shown below).

Production Courchevels and Rivieras will feature a patch barchetta pocket for dégagé pocket square stuffing and puffing, and a lapel buttonhole for boutonnière donning. Double-breasted and sahariana versions of the above will naturally follow very soon....

All of these are available ready to wear, or su misura (bespoke with an individual pattern)
