Exaequo Le Minuscule – Salvador Dalí’s melting time, distilled
Exaequo’s Le Minuscule takes the brand’s Dalí-licensed melting silhouette and scales it to a quieter register.

Blancpain marks the centennial of Marilyn Monroe’s birth with the Ladybird Tribute – a capsule of seven unique pieces that nod to the jewelry watch the star once wore and the Maison acquired in 2016.
