Gübelin found inspiration for its new “Grace of the Sea Anemone” line from the inner world of a Paraiba tourmaline. Organic shapes characterise the jewellery, nestled about the precious gem while simultaneously resembling the elegant tentacles of a sea anemone waving gently in the currents. The line incorporates its fluid movements and includes bracelets, rings, earrings and necklaces.
In keeping with this theme, Roger Dubuis created the “Velvet Paraiba” watch, incorporating the fluid forms of the jewellery. This represents the first time that Roger Dubuis has worked together with a jewellery brand as part of a joint process of inspiration and design.
Roger Dubuis “Velvet Paraiba” watch features a bezel set with 46 round Paraiba tourmalines while the mother-of-pearl dial is adorned with diamond-set ornaments corresponding to the design of Gübelin’s “Grace of the Sea Anemone” jewellery. The crown includes a 0.15 ct cabochon-cut Paraiba tourmaline. The inner workings and the watch itself are from the Roger Dubuis manufactory, which was awarded the “Poinçon de Genève” for excellence in watchmaking.
This limited edition of eight watches worldwide is exclusively available at the Swiss Gübelin Boutiques in Geneva and Lucerne and at the very special occasion of the launching of the "Grace of the Sea Anemone" line in the Gübelin Salon in Hong Kong.
