Description

La Nature de Chaumet collection reinterprets the Maisons founding sources of inspiration, expressing the identity of Chaumet while revealing its vision of nature. An alliance of nature and culture, of wildness and refinement, Chaumets naturalism is characterized by the choice of plants and flowers that carry significant symbolic power. Emblem of victory and an ode to Apollo, the evergreen laurel also celebrates immortality. With triumphant femininity, it is adorned here with shades of blue and white. This transformable cuff watch was imagined and created following the grand tradition of Chaumets High Jewellery craftsmanship, combining technical virtuosity, wonder and emotion. In a jewellery metamorphosis, the watch transforms into a bracelet. The timepiece element at the center of the cuff is replaced with the brooch that accompanies the piece. The suppleness and movement of this creation evokes Apollo and Daphnes love chase. The sculpted chalcedony, sapphires and diamonds of the Frise divine ensemble create a gradation of lavender, blue and white tones. Repeated motifs of bending leaves are subtly enhanced by the finest yellow gold threading. More than 1250 hours of work were required for our jewellers and stone-setters to complete this precious timepiece.
