Dior Horlogerie 2015

by Jen

During our visit to this year’s Baselworld, one of the most important trade shows for watches and jewelry, we had to stop by Dior’s lush stand. It was simply impossible to oversee.

Dior Baselworld

 

We were introduced to some of the most impressive watches from the French Haute Couture House, which are all yet to be released during this year. Dior’s timepieces have quite a strong aesthetic identity…

DIOR VIII MONTAIGNE STEEL AND DIAMONDS

This timeless and feminine timepiece comes in two sizes, 25mm and 32mm both in quartz, and embodies the Haute Couture’s emblematic codes: an elegant silhouette, architectural line, the harmonious combination of Dior colors and watchmaking materials such as the luminous grey.

DIOR VIII MONTAIGNE 2015 SPRING-SUMMER EDITION

The 32mm Dior VIII Montaigne timepiece with quartz elements represents the modern Dior ready-to-wear spirit. The shimmering dial, tinted in dark blue lacquer, is an eye-catcher and a perfect contrast to the white calfskin strap lined in peach – colored rubber. VIII or eight is a lucky number; the 8th of October 1946 is the date Christian Dior’s Couture House was established.  Consequently, “En Huit” (In Eight) was the name of the first collection. Furthermore Dior’s main building is set in the VIIIth arrondissement of Paris.

Characteristics: antireflective sapphire crystal glass, mother-of-pearl, stainless steel, 34 diamonds
