Preview Baselworld: the jewel watch by Graff covered with 60 yellow diamonds ♦ ︎
Preview of the news from Baselworld, the great watch and jewelery fair scheduled for the second half of March. The preview is about a jewel. Or a clock, as you like. But it is difficult to classify a timepiece like that of Graff as a simple useful object. It’s, rather, high watchmaking. It is no coincidence that Graff is a London House famous for its diamond jewelery.
The bracelet that marks the hours presented by Graff has a pavé of 60 yellow diamonds for a total of over 25 carats.
The diamonds are mounted on a case, a bracelet and a yellow gold dial. It is not just luxury, a lot of luxury, but also technical innovation: Graff has invented a joining system to create flexible bracelets, which can also use stones on the strap. The goldsmith work was developed in London, while the part concerning the watch was from the Swiss branch Graff Luxury Watches. Other jewelry-watches will then be presented at Baselworld. Five years ago, in 2014, Graff presented Hallucination, a women’s watch covered by fancy 110-carat diamonds, perhaps the most precious watch ever created. The following years followed The Fascination, with 152.96 carats of white diamonds, valued at 40 million dollars, with a 38.13-carat pear cut diamond, removable, in the center. And in 2017 the highlight was Princess Butterfly Secret Watch, covered with diamonds and precious stones on a frame that concealed the watch.
