English Version | The Voyage Issue: Jewellery & Watches

The Fantastic Flying Journey

If it were released today, Gerald Durrell's children's book about the adventures of three children and their great-uncle, Lancelot, who travel around the world in a hot-air balloon, would not have as its catalyst the search for a relative, nor would it involve magic powders that allow humans to communicate with animals. The story, which was eventually adapted for television, would center on the disappearance of the watch that belonged to the real James Bond, or the theft of one of the four hundred tiaras from the seventh cousin of the Queen of England. To accomplish their mission, the heroes would have to bribe their sources with the season's most elegant pieces of jewelry. Which would only be possible after leafing through the pages of Vogue Portugal.
