WISP WATCH With the Altiplano Chronograph, Piaget continues to prove one can never be

too thin. Elegant in its simplicity, it has set two world records in ultra-thinness: the

4.65 mm hand-wound fl yback chronograph movement, and the 8.24 mm case that

holds it. The watch’s hand-wound chronograph is the fi rst major complication in

Piaget’s Altiplano series. Among the details of the caliber, which took two years to

develop: a 50-hour power reserve and a 24-hour dual-time indication at 9 o’clock.

The transparent case back lets you observe the magic. $29,000; piaget.com

� e CEO of vintage jew-elry retailer Fred Leighton analyzes the new men’s line.What do you look for when curating the collection?We want each vintage watch to be special. � is means that each is an interesting example of its model, is stylish and wearable, and is in original condition. It’s not about high price points — ours range from $3,500 to over $100,000 — but about watches that are unique.

Tell us about the repur-posed pocket watches. As we considered how to bring the Fred Leighton per-spective to the category, we thought about the beautiful pocket watches from the early 20th century. We gave them a new life as wristwatches by adding lugs and a strap. � e traditionally bold size of the pocket watch works perfectly for today’s wristwatches.

Is there a piece you’re currently coveting?I have two favorites. � e � rst is a 1930s Vacheron Con-stantin chronograph, a rare and collectible watch in the most perfect vintage style. � e other is a 1980s Rolex Explorer with a black face and a Ti� any & Co. dial from the collection of Bunny Mel-lon. I’ve been excited about it since the day we bought it.

SMALL TIMEDainty timepieces are de rigueur in spring as the fashion � ock eschews boyfriend watches for a lighter look.

Jean Seberg strikes a watchful pose.

� � y � � � a � e something in the fashion � rmament grabs our eye

and we cannot stop thinking about it — a silhouette, a coat, a shoe or a handbag.

Recently we’ve been obsessing over Gucci’s Jackie bag, a roomy shoulder bag

� rst introduced in 1961 and named after one of the Italian leather goods house’s

most iconic customers. Today the Jackie bag seems just as desirable and chic. For

spring, Gucci designer Frida Giannini has reimagined it in delicious pale shades of

blue and blush. What more do you need for a weekend getaway? $2,990, gucci.com.

Prior to submitting materials, a PDF of the ad MUST be emailed to tracie.mclaughlin@manifest.com for corporate approval. Any file larger than 5MB must be uploaded to our FTP site (see link at right).

DIGITAL FILE REQUIREMENTS PDF/x-1a is our preferred file format. If native files are supplied, only InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator are acceptable. If supplying native files, please supply all links and fonts used in the document. If there are any problems, we will contact you and work to resolve them (with applicable charges). To minimize problems, please read the guidelines below.

IMAGES AND TEXT • All images must be CMYK or grayscale only (no RGB or spot colors). • Images should be 300 dpi. • Scaling, rotating or other image manipulation must be done prior to placement in the page layout program. Note that enlarging an image with a resolution of 300 over 125% in the page layout file will lower the effective resolution to the point that image quality degradation may be noticeable when printed. • Convert all spot colors to 4C process (CMYK). • Text containing thin lines, serifs or small lettering should be restricted to one color. • Black text and logos should be set to overprint so they do not knock out when printed over a background, which may result in poor print quality. • Large black design elements, such as bars or backgrounds, should be a rich black (50C/30M/30Y/100K).

PROOFS For color-sensitive materials, a proof created to SWOP specifications is required. Inkjet and laser prints are acceptable for

content only. A standard GATF or SWOP color bar is to be included on the proof, but is not necessary in the digital file.

We will not be responsible for color shifts on press if no approved color proof has been supplied.

Reproduction quality is at the advertiser’s risk if publisher’s specifications are not met or if material is received after closing date, even if on extension.
