Official Launch during Watches & Wonders 2024
Beauregard is proud to unveil the ‘Jardin d'Hiver’ boxed set in a very limited edition. Each of the six sets reveals a sumptuous bouquet of Lili Bouton timepieces, exquisitely crafted in 18K rose gold, illuminated with Flawless diamonds, and adorned with gemstone dials that dazzle. Each piece embodies a vibrant visual journey, an invitation to explore the myriad nuances of an enchanted world.
The enchantment began in a moment of exchange, a connection between Alexandre Beauregard and his clients at the Dubai Watch Week. Drawing inspiration from the splendor and chromatic variety of an idyllic ‘winter garden’ in eternal bloom, ‘Jardin d'Hiver’ emerged.
Gradually, this lucid dream took form, ultimately flourishing into a collection of timepieces whose breathtaking beauty reveals exceptional savoir-faire.
Two masterpieces, crafted from Fire Opals and Fanta Opals from Chiapas, Mexico, stand out.
The centerpieces of this boxed set are the Lili Bouton pieces with dials crafted from Fire Opal and Fanta Opal from the Chiapas region in Mexico. Beauregard proudly introduces these for the first time, exclusively for the ‘Jardin d'Hiver’ collection. These gems, so rare and very much sought-after, were chosen for their exceptional color. Alexandre Beauregard highlights the opals’ rarity and allure, noting that they maintain a vibrant, intense, and deep color even when finely cut – defying the common fate of gemstones to diminish in color intensity when thinly sliced.
The set is rounded off by 4 Lili Bouton pieces respectively adorned with dials crafted from Yellow Brazilian Opal, Australian Chrysoprase, Arizona Topaz and Peruvian Amethyst, taking you on a unique and enchanting chromatic journey.
Each finely chiseled petal is polished by a patient hand, elevating each fragment of stone to the status of a work of art. They are the foundations of a miniature Eden, a cornucopia of precious stones that blossom on the dial to reveal a mesmerizing display.
To craft each dial, beginning with a substantial inventory of raw stones is essential. And yet, most of these gems are destined to remain untouched, underscoring the selectivity and exactitude of the process. Of the stones that do make it past this initial selection, only a minuscule portion will be expertly cut and polished, finally gracing the dial of a Lili Bouton.
Nestled in an 18K rose gold case and adorned with Flawless diamonds, Lili Bouton reflects the essence of Beauregard: an artistic dialogue between the World of Gemstones and the Art of Time.
Conceived in Montreal and brought to life through Swiss excellence, ‘Jardin d'Hiver’ is the product of a dream and a touch of folly, crafted with finesse and offered with the passion of its creator. Each boxed set reflects the union of creative madness and masterful craftsmanship.
More than a collection of watches, Beauregard's ‘winter garden’ is a celebration of art, of color and of the beauty of flowers. With this highly exclusive series, Beauregard invites watch and jewelry enthusiasts to discover a world where time is measured in precious stones.
