A glimpse of some of the almost impossibly precise savoir-faire required for new Dior Grand Soir Watches

 

With a quartz movement, each unique Dior watch represents a different garden bathed in the dream-filled twinkling light from dusk to dawn, evoked through leaves and petals in precious stones and scarab marquetry, framed by a hardstone bezel on a snow-set diamond case.

Dior Grand Soir Jardin de Nuit’ watches

Dior Grand Soir Jardin de Nuit quartz-movement watches are conjuring up the mysterious beauty of an enchanted garden after dark. Christian Dior’s passion for plants is conveyed in the way the delicate cascades and and sproutings of foliage and flowers are crafted in a mixture of tiny precious stones, golds and platinum, with each dial surrounded by a hardstone bezel and held in a case of sparkling snow-set diamonds.

A vibrant green malachite bezel encircles the dark dial of the unique ‘Dior Grand Soir Jardin de Nuit’ watch, its evocation of a magical nighttime garden portrayed through a floral cascade of sapphires, rubies, garnets, emeralds, tsavorites, peridots and more in a multiplicity of cuts.

Warm autumnal hues define the unique ‘Dior Grand Soir Jardin de Nuit’ watch, glowing with a tiger’s eye bezel cut from a single slice and featuring a dark dial over which spills a naturalistic cascade of foliage in three golds, sapphires, garnets, scarab marquetry, diamonds and sapphires. The subtle finesse of a quartz movement at 12 o’clock contrasts with the preciousness of the case glittering with snow-set, brilliant-cut diamonds.

Dior Grand Soir Aquarelle’ watch

The two newly introduced, quartz-movement ‘Dior Grand Soir Aquarelle’ watches are evoking the delicate hues of watercolor. These rose gold cases with snow-set diamond bezels feature softly painted bracelets and dials, the latter like abstracted petals enhanced by the placement of gold flowers with sapphire and tinted glass touches. Each style comes in a limited edition of 18.

With its delicately colored dial and bracelet, this limited-edition, quartz-movement timepiece evokes the graceful art of watercolor painting, enhanced by the placement of gold flowers with sapphire and tinted glass touches, and encircled by a twinkling, snow-set, brilliant-cut diamond bezel.

As culture is part of Dior legacy that inspires beauty, the French luxury House is committed to helping the beauty of the Tuileries live on, by sponsoring a three-year replanting program. Plus, Dior is continuing the aesthetic quest of the couturier-perfumer who loved gardens by sponsoring the Queen’s grove at the Château de Versailles, France.
