Press release
Today,
Dior Timepieces pays tribute to the Couturier with the creation of the
Dior
VIII wristwatch. Its name, consisting of eight characters, is also a nod at the lucky number of
Dior's superstitious founder: the date of his Couture House's creation, the 8th of October 1946, the name of his first collection, baptised “en huit”, the VIIIth arrondissement of Paris and its Avenue Montaigne and 8 Place Vendôme, showcase of the High Jewellery and Timepiece collections. Moreover, the number 8 is the only one to appear in roman numerals at 8 ‘o' clock on this ultra-feminine and classicshaped wristwatch.
