Psychotherapist Esther Perel is changing the conversation on what it means to be in love and have a fulfilling sex life. For the first time in human history, couples aren’t having sex just to have kids; there’s room for sustained desire, for couples to cultivate long-term sexual relationships. But how?

With a steel case and chain bracelet interwoven with black leather ribbon, Chanel debuted  it’s first iconic watch in 1987. The La Montre Premiere watch was designed to imitate the signature Chanel No. 5 perfume bottle, which also happens to be inspired by the Place Vendome.
