Lotus Blanc watch - Chopard
1 minute read
This unique secret watch has been selected by Chopard to compete in the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève 2017.

Chopard’s co-president Caroline Scheufele draws inspiration from her travels and her encounters in giving rise – supported by the High Jewellery department designers – to the most fabulous creations.

It was during a trip to South-East Asia that she was touched by the exquisite refinement of the white lotus. A sacred flower in eastern religions, this apparently fragile aquatic plant served as a throne for divinities, for its dainty petals conceal an incomparable force enabling the lotus to be daily reborn. Its corolla closes every night, before blooming once again at sunrise. To express this perpetual renewal, Chopard has dreamed up a gorgeous secret watch that can be uncovered at will.

Set with 25.66 carats of white diamonds, the Lotus Blanc watch reflects the meticulous work of the in-house artisans. Its petals sparkle as if dotted with dewdrops open in one smooth move. Made of titanium and platinum, the case of the watch houses a quartz movement which animates the hour and minutes hands. The white gold flowing bracelet, composed of fine rows of diamonds, evokes the undulating waters on which the flower bobs gently up and down. The effect is truly striking, as the plant gracefully awakens and slips into slumber once more, surrounded by magnificent halo of light.

Montre Lotus Blanc

The white lotus symbolises purity of heart and mind. Chopard could not have imagined a finer emblem to compete in the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.
