Christmas brings a special sparkle. Our streets and houses are arrayed in scintillating garlands and everything is alight with dazzling radiance. So why not our wrists? Here is a selection of six glittering jewellery watches that will delight any woman who is lucky enough to be treated to one.
Boucheron – Ama Epure Tourbillon
Epitomising femininity and delicacy, the Epure Tourbillon Ama reflects the characteristics associated with fish. The diamond fish appears above the flying tourbillon at the centre of the dial. The openworked movement bridges depict 26 Place Vendôme set against a bluish mother-of-pearl wave background suffusing the dial with light. The Ama is powered by a mechanical hand-wound movement. Engraved on the back of this timepiece is Frédéric Boucheron’s motto: “Je ne Sonne que les Heures Heureuses”. This jewellery timepiece is issued in an eight-piece limited edition.
Dior – Dior VIII Grand Bal « Plissé soleil »
With the Dior VIII Grand Bal “Plissé soleil”, Dior offers a harmonious blend of steel, mother-of-pearl and diamonds. This Haute Couture-inspired timepiece appears attired in new colours, associating a blue dial with a green oscillating weight, making a subtle contrast with the grey mother-of-pearl pleats. Available with a steel bracelet or a shiny burgundy alligator leather strap, the watch is powered by a proprietary calibre: the “Dior Inverse 11 ½ “, featuring an oscillating weight evoking the hypnotic swirling of a sunray pleated ball gown.
Jacob & Co. – Billionaire
Brilliant. Sparkling. The Billionaire has what it takes to dazzle with its 260 carats of precious diamonds, making it a world record model in the luxury sector. Combining traditional watchmaking codes with a vintage design and refined gemsetting, this watchmaking gem is a tribute to the Roaring Twenties. Its hand-wound tourbillon calibre lends a dynamic touch to this model with its diamond-encrusted case. The inverted pyramid bead-setting once again testifies to the masterful jewellery expertise of Jacob & Co. Take note that this timepiece is a one-of-a-kind creation!
Mouawad – Classique Lady
With its Roman numerals, 4 o’clock date display, trendy-coloured dial and Swiss quartz movement, the Classique Lady appeals through the sheer simplicity of its femininity. The white gold case frames a natural mother-of-pearl dial with a sunburst motif, lit up by diamonds set on the bezel as well as the bridges. Thoroughly deserving its name, this classic model also comes in grey-toned and all-steel variations offering a variety of pleasures.
Graff – Graff Floral Tourbillon
With the Graff Floral Tourbillon, the watch brand introduces its very first ladies’ tourbillon. Reflecting the Haute Horlogerie skills cultivated by Graff and inspired by nature, this feminine model sparkles with the fire of the diamonds encrusted on the bezel, dial and bridges. The complex tourbillon carriage with its floral decorations provides a vivid view of the mechanism driving this timepiece, while the hands once again pick up the floral theme with a bluish petal design. Spring-like but perfect for every season!
Tiffany & Co – Diamond Cocktail
The aesthetic of this timepiece, designed to provide an elegant black and white contrast, draws the eye to its subtly retro nature. Inspired by an archive model, the Diamond Cocktail is an eloquent reminder of Tiffany & Co.’s historical legitimacy in the field of jewellery. The white mother-of-pearl dial set with a total of 86 diamonds is teamed with a black satin strap accentuating the purity and femininity embodied in this jewellery model. A fine Christmas present.
