Following the success of the Tonda Métropolitaine Sélène watch released in 2016, Parmigiani launched two new rose gold watches. The new watch is equipped with the brand’s own movement, showing the beautiful change of the moon phase.

 The first watch had a dark blue dial with a lotus pattern in the center, a symbol of femininity. The decorative material is cut from mother-of-pearl and is set on the dial and is only 0.2 mm thick. The lace is satin-finished and polished to create a light-dark effect that showcases the brand’s superb skills. The dial of the second watch is made of high-reflective white mother-of-pearl and decorated with rose nasturtium, echoing the hour markers and case material. Both bezels are set with 76 brilliant-cut diamonds (approximately 0.52 carats in total).

 The russet moon surface of the Tonda Métropolitaine Sélène watch is composed of craters called moon seas, which are painted by continuous layering. This watch reproduces the true moon phase on the wearer’s wrist, disappearing and emerging from the stars and clouds. Hand retouching gives it real value.

 The PF318 movement and its moon phase module are the 33rd movements independently developed by Parmigiani. The operating principle of the moon phase module is based on the gear connected to the hour wheel. Due to the double gear teeth, the speed of rotation is also doubled. The gear rotates once every 24 hours, and the moon phase disk is driven forward by the elastic blades integrated with the hour wheel every day. The wearer can individually adjust the position of the moon according to the date and time through the press at 9 o’clock to match the reference geographic month.

 The PF318 self-winding movement is equipped with two barrels connected in series to adjust the rate, so the movement has excellent isochronism and can provide a 50-hour power reserve. Through the case back sapphire crystal, you can admire the refined finishing of the movement. The movement is completely polished with round grain, engraved with Geneva ripples, and chamfered in accordance with the highest standards of fine watchmaking. This is also the consistent principle of Parmigiani. (Photo / text watch home Xu Chaoyang)

The Baume & Mercier Diamant diamond series, until the advent of this new watch, perfectly matched the meaning of her name. Carefully cut diamonds are draped in sparkling costumes, reflecting the elegant and delicate feminine qualities of fashion. The most striking feature of a Baume & Mercier female watch is its crown: an elliptical crown is set with a delicate diamond, leading 107 brilliant diamonds, making the Diamant series a gorgeous diamond watch. The finely crafted diamonds extend from the bezel and the crown to the lugs and bracelets. The 11 diamonds set on the mother-of-pearl dial exude charming light and charm. The case and bracelet are all made of stainless steel, making the watch more luxurious and shining.
    This brand-new diamond series watch perfectly interprets the essence of DIAMANT through the combination of delicate and elegant diamonds. It is the perfect fusion of the eternal elegance and the modern style of the famous legend. The new DIAMANT is not only the best adornment for dress dinners, but also a good companion in women’s daily life, allowing them to shine a magnificent and shining light at all times.

This is a story about the intersection of the mysterious country and the watch world. Jacques de Lo has forged an indissoluble bond with China since he clashed with each other more than 200 years ago. To celebrate the Chinese New Year, Jacques Dro has launched a new precious and dazzling Petite Heure Minute Dragon watch. The dragon is the legendary origin of Chinese civilization. It has always been a symbol of power, nobility, and honor. Among them, the five-claw golden dragon with two horns and five claws and four fangs exposing its mouth is the most majestic and noble. The dragon represents the supreme imperial power in Chinese traditional culture, and the double dragon play beads show the auspicious and healthy sign. There is no doubt that Pierre Jaquet Droz fully understood the connotation and symbolic meaning of the five-pronged golden dragon. As far back as the Qianlong reign of the Qing dynasty, the princes and granddaughters of the Forbidden City therefore experienced the unique charm of Swiss clocks. Three centuries later, in order to celebrate the Chinese New Year, the famous watch brand Jacques Drot created by this visionary pioneer created this Petite Heure Minute Dragon watch to welcome the year of the dragon.
     This watch is based on Jacques Droe’s most representative model, using the brand’s best fire enamel technology and delicate enamel painting technology, drawing exquisite paintings in the eccentric disk. Painter technicians even challenge the aesthetic and technical limits, adding fine gold foil to the paint to draw radiant patterns. Each watch must take a week to finish by hand, creating an unparalleled gorgeous effect. In the ivory-colored ‘big fire’ enamel dial, the space is perfectly used to vividly show the scene of the double dragon play beads. The dragon scale sparkles and shines, and it complements the 43mm red gold case and sharp gold hands, and the red hue makes the picture even more brilliant. The Roman numerals are classic and elegant, and the combination of Chinese and Western styles is natural, which fully reflects Jacques Dro’s courage to explore and innovate, and to be loyal to its history and traditional craftsmanship.
     The Petite Heure Minute Dragon watch features a brown-trimmed crocodile leather strap, a dual barrel automatic winding movement, and a 22K white gold oscillating weight. This watch is limited to 88 pieces, has a power reserve of 68 hours, and is water-resistant to 30 meters. It is a masterpiece of art; it leads the world through time and space and swims in the world’s most splendid civilization.
