Boucheron bow tie
No, the ultra-chic bow tie is not for men only! And no, it is not only worn around the neck with a tuxedo. In a daring break with tradition, Boucheron has opted to place the elegant bow on the wrist in the form of a strap for the Reflet watch. The strap of this cult model, featuring geometrical lines that have been fascinating women since 1947, is smoothly interchangeable. The system makes switching from the leather version to this satin strap, issued in a 26-piece limited edition picking up the brand’s prestigious address on the Place Vendôme Paris, as simple as child’s play.
Breguet frills
Bows, ribbons, lace and frills… In tribute to the favourite gowns of Queen Marie-Antoinette, who, alongside her position as Queen of France, was also the first woman to become a Breguet customer, Les Volants de la Reine jewellery watch was inspired by the most beautiful silks and pleated lace on dresses at that time. Diamonds of various shapes and cuts entwine in intricate patterns, created using skilfully mastered setting techniques. Two cushion-cut sapphires enhance the composition with their colour conveying a symbolic royal prestige. A delicate, precious means of providing a majestic setting for the temporal indications powered by a mechanical Breguet movement.
Dior lace
Who better than Dior is capable of combining the imaginary world of couture with watchmaking know-how?

The openwork oscillating weight is cloaked with an incredibly delicate setting made of silk threads worked by a skilful lacemaker from Puy, the cradle of French lacemaking since the 16th century. An haute couture watch issued in an 88-piece limited edition.
