Description

Precious watches are inspired by nature; a nature that is stylized, touching and bucolic, expressing a different dimension of time, of movement, of emotion and celebrating the savoir-faire of jewellers, engravers, stone setters, sculptors, miniature painters and watchmakers who perpetuate and enrich the Maison\u2019s watch collections. This timepiece embodies the extraordinary dreams, creativity, technical ingenuity and jewellery expertise of Chaumet. The Attrape-moi\u2026 si tu m\u2019aimes collection expresses the Maison\u2019s bestiary in a stunning performance of jeweller\u2019s art: flowers, a bee, and a butterfly take the stage to tell miniature stories of love and seduction in a decor of luxuriant nature. A buzzing bee with wings of rock crystal faces an aerial butterfly, hand-painted on guilloch mother-of-pearl. They gather the nectar of dandelion flowers, their delicate diamond feathers blowing in the wind. Resulting from the unseen work of the chrysoprase, the vibrant, fresh hues of a green sky bestow on the scene an enchanting springtime impression. The dial adorns a 35 millimeter rose gold watchcase that is set with diamonds. The bracelet, in night blue satin with a rose gold diamond-set pin buckle, is attached to the two horns \u2013 their perfect perpendicularity underscores the design\u2019s purity. Finally, the two hands are animated by a self-winding mechanism featuring an oscillating mass that is engraved with the design of a dragonfly, a butterfly or a bee as an ultimate refinement\u2026\t
