A small cushion case with a faceted crystal that sparkles at its edges, and leaf-shaped shoulders carrying tiny stones in ball settings, like a sprig that has landed on the wrist. Bulova, 1960s, 23 jewels and hand-wound, from the years when American houses made ladies’ watches that sat somewhere between a watch and a brooch. What we love about it is how much happens in so small a space.
For someone who likes her jewellery fine and her watch found on the second glance.

Without
shortcuts.

01 — Sourcing
Three years to build
a network we trust.
All Aimée pieces are sourced from registered pre-loved businesses in Japan — where documentation standards and authentication practices set the global benchmark.
We do not buy opportunistically. Every vendor is carefully vetted before a single piece is sourced. We source slowly, and only from partners we know.
