Description

Celebrating a 150-year-long tradition of intensely creative endeavour prompted Boucheron to reinvigorate its finewatch-making flair and elevate it beyond time and on to eternity with a special edition of 26 pieces, address of itsflagship, 26, Place Vendme. This new stylish and graceful, round and creation is available in white gold and hasa single passion and aim: perfection. Its originality-steeped outer beauty conceals the best that watch-making arthas to offer: an entirely hand-made atelier calibre.The first thing that catches the eye is probably the sheer visual power that radiates from the elliptical setting,harnessing the evocative wealth that the range of blues. These rare gems are all different sizes and set to createvisual volume alongside the purest diamonds. The real talent of this maisons master jewellers is in the harmonythat their artful stone-setting elicits. The galaxy of precious coloured stones magically rises above the law ofgravitation. Springing from the golden dial in the middle of the case, this coloured nebula is reflected in thepumiced shagreen strap that captures the slightest trace of light. These watches stir time with impulse – thevisible sign of an inner desire to advance.In keeping with Voltaires contention that the sky is the see of the Watchmaker of the Universe, Boucheron foundit fitting to unveil what human talent has enabled it to tender nestled a golden crib. The oval window opening intothe back unveils a few of the atelier-made GP 4000 calibres completely restyled components including the markof the maker, the first maison to open on Place Vendme.
