Ultra feminine and ultra refined designs have – since the brand's inception in 1949 - set the paradigm of DeLaneau's identity. Perpetuating this heritage, the Open Magic collection is a blazing illustration of the brand's savvy talent in creating genuinely original and modern timepieces.
Just one look at these new wristwatches and one's heart is conquered by their distinctively recognizable shape. Truly original, the Open Magic collection masterfully plays with shapes as embodied by the soft and classical round watch case versus the straight lines of the asymmetrical bracelet. This mesmerizing design is simultaneously modern, outstandingly original and yet timeless.
Known for its superlative made to measure one of a kind pieces, DeLaneau gives us today a formidable interpretation of a new exclusive collection that is unique in many ways. Aside from its distinctive design, the Open Magic is also unique to each lady who falls in love with this bejewelled watch. Indeed, the golden clasp is awaiting the initials of its new owner, making each watch a landmark to her family. The Open Magic thus becomes a precious heirloom, as in the case of delicate initials sewn onto linens, engraved monograms onto silverware or even more recently having one's own initials apposed on an iconic handbag.
The Open Magic is a variation of the acclaimed Magic timepieces that were introduced in 2010. Set with diamonds, these modern day or cocktail watches feature a dark onyx or bright mother-of-pearl dial.
The Open Magic is simultaneously a precious ultra-light jewel and a mechanical prowess of watchmaking. As with all DeLaneau timepieces, beauty starts on the inside to only embellish the outside. All Open Magic timepieces are thus beating to a mechanical automatic movement...just like the heartbeat of its lady.
