From Charriol a jewel of timepiece based on white gold and diamonds. Without forgetting the classic steel cables ♦ ︎
The watches-jewels are rather jewelry-watches: precious bracelets in which, among other things, a dial appears that marks the hours. Because, let’s face it, a bracelet with timepiece does not need to count the minutes that pass. This is why jewelry houses often offer bracelets that are more of an ornament than a practical tool. As in the case of Charriol, a Swiss brand famous for its jewels made from a shape that resembles that of industrial steel cables, naturally also using metals and precious stones. One of the most successful lines of the Maison de Genève is called St-Tropez. On the occasion of Baselworld (22-27 March 2018) Charriol presents Invisible, a jewel-watch with a white gold case enriched with 135 white baguette-cut diamonds. The watch uses an exclusive stone embedding technique that makes the frame invisible. The diamonds are placed next to each other so as to hide the gold meshes on which they are embedded, so as to create a seemingly compact surface of brilliant gems. The diamond circle encloses a white mother-of-pearl dial with 12 princess-cut white diamonds placed in place of the hour numbers. The bracelet is not lacking the classic twisted steel cables of Charriol, but next to a bracelet with diamonds. Rudy Serra
