The collection centres on the repurposed vintage watch face; a surrealist nod to the fluidity of time, reimagined as the heart of sculptural brooches, necklaces, and earrings.
Each piece is a masterclass in mixed-metal alchemy, featuring a high-contrast palette of 23k Gold plating and Oxidised Silver.
The aesthetic is further elevated by intricate insect and bird motifs, symbolising nature’s persistence within an industrial framework, and hand-set with premium Austrian crystals.
Inspiration was sought from iconic figures of the time such as Mae West, Josephine baker, Salvador Dali and Elsa Schiaparelli.
"Milandes is opulent, it is historical, but it is also deeply subversive," Creative Director Louis Circé told That's Christmas 365.
"We are taking the glamour of the 1930s and combining it with a surrealist edge that feels incredibly relevant for today’s fashion landscape."
