Seductive, striking and exclusive.
The intricate work of craftspeople from iconic watchmaking houses such as Bvlgari, Rolex and Blancpain make these modern timepieces marvels, beyond any mechanical considerations, but rather as pieces of intricate art in and of themselves.
Blancpain Women Villeret Quantieme Phases de Lune
As early as 1930, Blancpain played a pioneering role in the history of the feminine watch with the presentation of the first automatic wristwatch for women. Since then, the manufacturer has been continually innovating in the miniaturisation of movements in order to equip our feminine models with watchmaking complications previously reserved for men. Avant-garde from an aesthetic point of view, this refined collection remains faithful to Blancpain’s essential values.
Conceived and designed in a resolutely feminine spirit, the Women collection, equipped exclusively with automatic movements finished and decorated by hand, ally watchmaking complications with elegance. Far from being simple reductions or adaptations of masculine watches, the Women series timepieces have been developed specifically to meet the expectations and desires of today’s women.
Bvlgari Divas’ Dream
The limited-edition Divas’ Dream timepiece is inspired by the patterned Roman mosaics of the Baths of Diocletian, where the motif of the peacock reigns sovereign as the symbol of vanity and supreme beauty. The sophisticated creation reveals the precious colour combinations of the fanned tail of the regal animal and celebrates with a precious design the pure beauty of the iconic fan shaped motif.
The stunning Divas’ Dream features manufacture mechanical movement, automatique winding, BVL 191 caliber inside a 37mm 18ct rose gold case set with brilliant-cut diamonds on the bezel, 18ct rose gold crown set with a sapphire, 18ct rose gold link set with brilliant-cut diamonds, mother-of-pearl dial with hand-painted peacock set with diamonds, dark blue alligator strap and 18ct rose gold folding clasp.
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36
The prestigious Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36 has been updated with distinctive new dials and gem-set bezels on some versions, such as this 18 ct yellow gold example with an ombré dial. It is embellished with diamond hour markers in 18 ct gold settings; the diamonds at 6 and 9 o’clock are baguette-cut, a configuration specific to the Day-Date range.
At its launch in 1956, the Day-Date was a major innovation: it was the first calendar wristwatch to indicate, in addition to the date, the day of the week spelt out in full in an arc-shaped window at 12 o’clock – a technical feat at the time. The indication of the day of the week is available in a choice of 26 languages. Watches in the Day-Date range are made only in precious metals – 18 ct yellow, white or Everose gold or 950 platinum.
Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra
The Seamaster Aqua Terra is a superb tribute to Omega’s rich maritime heritage. In this 41mm model, the symmetrical case has been crafted from 18ct gold and stainless steel, with a wave-edged design featured on the back.
The silvery dial is distinguished by a horizontal “teak” pattern which is inspired by the wooden decks of luxury sailboats. There is also a date window at 6 o'clock and 18ct gold hands and indexes filled with white Super-LumiNova. Presented on a brown leather strap, this certified chronometer is powered by the Omega Master Chronometer calibre 8900, certified at the industry’s highest standard by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).
Bvlgari Serpenti Seduttori
Gleaming with the refined sheen of its materials, the Serpenti Seduttori watch renders time even more precious. Reimagining Bvlgari’s indisputably seductive icon with a striking new design, the timepiece boasts the iconic drop shaped watch head, thinner than ever before, with a supple bracelet featuring a hexagonal pattern inspired by the scales of a serpent.
Alluring aesthetics and a nod to the glamour of high jewellery: the watch casts a spell of seduction on the world of Serpenti. The Serpenti Seduttorigold and stainless-steel ladies watch features a quartz movement, 33mm stainless steel case, 18ct rose gold bezel and an 18ct rose gold crown set with a cabochon-cut pink rubellite, a white silver opaline dial and a stainless-steel bracelet.
