Schroeder Joailliers: The Story of a Small Family-owned Luxury Watch Brand from Luxembourg…

My dear fashionistas, welcome to a new fashion story on the Mr.M blog. Today’s fashion story will be dedicated to a fashion detail that is important for every man – a watch. Today, wristwatches have become both a status symbol and a symbol of prestige. Both genders have some cute little obsessions of their own, on the one hand women are known as passionate collectors of fashion pieces such as shoes, coats, fur coats, bags and other luxury goods, while men are known as true collectors of wristwatches. Today, there is no global fashion house that does not include watches in its offer. In addition to them, there are special specialized watch and jewelry brands that are exclusively engaged in making watches. Many consider watches to be a good investment, it’s just important to watch your obsession and respect some boundaries.

Today, after a long time, we meet again with an interesting family brand of luxury watches and jewelry, Schroeder Joailliers. This is a story of dedication and love for one’s work that counts over 140 years of knowledge and passion. The story of Schroeder’s jewelry begins in 1860, when Lambert Schroeder left his hometown of Luxembourg to continue his apprenticeship in London and the United States of America.

Returning to Luxembourg in 1877, he opened his goldsmith’s shop in exactly the same place where today’s Maison Schroeder is located. As an extremely skilled and pioneering retailer, passionate about quality and an ambitious innovator, he inspired the core values of today’s jewelry industry.

His only son, Ferdy Schroeder, learned the engraving trade in Paris and took over the company with the difficult task of running it through two wars. His great mastery of his art earned him the prestigious title of Purveyor of the Court, which Maison Schroeder proudly carries to this day. Later, in 1979, Pierre Rossy, Lambert Schroeder’s nephew and current director, joined the company. Under his leadership, Schroeder jewelry expanded internationally by deploying agents and participating in various exhibitions on five continents.

Today, not only his wife, but also his daughters Anni and Sophie joined him in the Luxembourg jewelry house. This fifth generation maintains the family tradition, which combines traditional knowledge and creativity.

Schroeder Joailliers has found a gem in the Swiss Jura: a workshop capable of producing highly sophisticated and refined movements decorated with the Cotes de Geneve, a hallmark of quality craftsmanship. These high precision watches are presented under the Schroeder Timepieces brand. Available in both men’s and women’s models, there are also pocket watches, in short, all of them are a pleasure to wear every day and for every occasion.

During the next period on the Mr.M blog I will show you some of their timeless watch models, as well as some novelties from the new collections. In today’s story I will share with you my impressions of the “L’Intégrale” Watch Collection. “L’Intégrale” presents a new collection with a so-called integrated watch strap, and comes with a guilloché dial inspired by the trees of the Swiss Jura. The collection is available in a version with a Swiss quartz movement or in the high-quality Sellita SW-200 self-winding movement.

This watch is model A60998 AA01 from the Schroeder Timepieces “L’Intégrale” collection, it is made of the highest quality steel, with a blue guilloché dial and indexes as well as Arabic numerals, a date display at 6 o’clock, with a Swiss quartz movement and mounted on an integrated navy bracelet with with a folding clasp.

Spring may be well underway, but the weather is still wintry, so I took the opportunity to wear my new TATRAS jacket again. TATRAS is a new and unique brand that combines functionality and polished aesthetics.

How was the idea for this unique fashion brand born? TATRAS was created 16 years ago, more precisely in 2007, when the history of this brand began to be written with the hope that this will be one great entrepreneurial dream. In just 16 years of existence, the Tatras brand has found its place on the international market in the production of top quality jackets, developing a perfect synergy between products, communication and distribution. In the early years, TATRAS first established brand awareness in its native Japan by positioning itself in the country’s top department stores. The next step was to start internationalizing the brand by opening a showroom in Milan to optimize distribution in Italy, USA, Korea and around the world.

The TATRAS creative team is exclusively guided by the following goals when creating each new collection: Each jacket must be functional, each product must have elements of polished aesthetics and each product must be unique – “One and only”. People who wear TATRAS clothing successfully illustrate the perfect combination of sophistication and innovation for modern cosmopolitan living. TATRAS is proof that hard work pays off. The brand is developing and strengthening in new markets every day, while it has achieved great success in Europe, the USA and the Far East, as well as in Italy and Japan.

The first TATRAS store, characterized by a contemporary and essential style, opened in October 2014 in a refined, elegant exterior in the prestigious area of Tokyo Aoyama in Japan, where the most famous fashion houses are located. At the end of February 2018, TATRAS opened its first flagship store in the West in the heart of Europe, choosing Milan as the first showcase on the European market. The space, located within the fashion district of Via Spiga 3, features the brand’s Japanese minimalism in a Western translation, with a completely international result that is always among the main characteristics of the brand.

TATRAS is the right brand for all those fashion lovers who are looking for practicality and minimalist elegance, where the brand’s meticulous attention to detail. The brand constantly continues to raise its quality and identity over the years. Reflecting the ever-changing society, TATRAS continuously pushes its boundaries as a brand that celebrates the diversity and inclusiveness of this modern world. Exploring the DNA of the brand, TATRAS enjoys collaborating with other creatives in the art world. Experimenting with the synergy of creative minds, the brand enriches its spirit through these collaborations.

In today’s fashion story, you have the opportunity to see the TATRAS jacket model BENE in white, which was specially made as part of a special monogram collection that was made in honor of the celebration of the 15th anniversary of the TATRAS brand. In addition to white, this jacket model is also available in black. In a special limited edition monogram collection, you can find TATRAS famous jacket models updated with the TATRAS monogram pattern, inspired by urban cityscapes.

The jacket you can see has a two-way zip fastening, all the details are silver color, elastic cuffs and a hood that can be removed if needed, if you want to wear the jacket without the hood and change its look. One of the sleeves features the brand’s logo, while the jacket is made of nylon jacquard material, which makes the jacket waterproof.

OUTFIT

Jacket: TATRAS

Sweater: Aida Barni

Trousers: Marco Pescarolo

Watch: Schroeder Joailliers

Sneakers: Tod’s

Today, we’re meeting out again with a timeless brand of exceptional knitwear that has become a favorite of Mr.M blog readers over the past few winter seasons. Aida Barni is synonymous with perfect softness and refined Italian processing of cashmere. Last winter we enjoyed the beauty of bright and unusual colors, while this spring I decided to continue in cheerful and unusual tones. Soft, light and warm items made of cashmere are a smart “fashion” investment and practical during the winter period. When you give someone a cashmere sweater as a gift, it is a gift from the heart because a cashmere sweater carries with it a certain symbolism. Also, sometimes you need to make yourself happy with something new, maybe it’s a new hairstyle, or maybe it’s a new unusual sweater that will put a smile on your face!

Aida Barni is a brand that belongs to the Annapurna group. Founded in 1978, the Annapurna Group has become one of the leading Italian and world manufacturers of high-quality cashmere knitwear with its two fashion lines Annapurna and Aida Barni. Annapurna is a name that associates everyone with exceptional mountain landscapes, especially the mountain range in the Himalayas where goats live with their winter fleece, hiding the soft, warm “cloak” that made them so famous. “Made in Italy” is more than a production concept, but this brand has proven to be much more than the just perfect cashmere sweater on a store shelf. It is love at first touch, an impression to remember.

Aida Barni is an imaginative and fascinating name for a fashion line that produces high quality knitwear from the finest cashmere. Aida Barni is a symbol of a lifetime goal for a woman who decided to enter the world of business in the late seventies and reach the very top of this challenging and one of the most difficult sectors of the market. The Aida Barni brand was created as an artistic expression of the way of life and existence, the essence of unstressed chic, refined luxury. A collection for men and women dedicated to everyone who loves timeless and elegant knitwear that encompasses true elegance in the preciousness of materials, shapes and details.

The man who wears Aida Barni knitwear does not follow trends, but creates and adapts them to the needs of everyday life. The men’s collection is made up of cult clothing items of sentimental value, which evoke a healthy and environmentally friendly way of life. Fans of the Aida Barney brand love natural and fine yarns, enjoy comfort, but do not give up the elegance and sophistication of cuts and models.

Aida Barni‘s concept of men’s “sports elegance” is simple and with sophisticated style, but rich in materials and inconspicuous details that make this brand cult because it represents an expression of uniqueness and special class.

You can buy Aida Barni cashmere items in well-known multibrand shops and department stores across Europe and the world and through authorized online stores. When you give someone an Aida Barni piece, it is more than respect and pure love because you are giving a piece in which love for tradition and deep respect for art that is not worshiped every day are woven.
