The Cat’s Eye Jewellery, Tourbillon with Gold Bridge features a case in white gold adorned with diamonds, a hand-engraved and carefully polished natural pearl dial, and a Manufacture movement whose pedigree goes back more than 125 years.
More than a thousand diamonds encrust the white gold case. Called “snow”, this style of setting is mastered by very few artisans, and involves positioning the stones so as to leave nothing else visible apart from the crimping grains, playing with diameters to perfectly fit the curvature of the case. The setter works without a drawing, following his instinct and know-how, hollowing cavities in the gold one by one and fitting the stones individually as the work progresses. Three weeks are needed for the setting work, making every Cat’s Eye Jewellery, Tourbillon with Golden Bridge a unique creation.
The natural mother-of-pearl dial brings exclusive technology to its iridescent glints to create a pearl decoration. At six o’clock the famous Tourbillon with the delicately hand-engraved gold Bridge presides, powered by the GP09700 Manufacture movement. Boasting a minimum power reserve of 70 hours, the manually wound movement has 177 components decorated, fitted and assembled by hand. The back of the white gold case can accommodate a personalized engraving. An alligator strap with snow-set folding clasp adds the finishing touch.
The new Cat’s Eye Jewellery, Tourbillon with Gold Bridge is the latest addition to a collection founded in 2004, dedicated to women, and winner of numerous awards for its elegance and craftsmanship.
