Parmigiani
Parmigiani Fleurier’s Atelier Collection aims to be a showcased through a travelling concept entirely innovative in the world of Haute Horlogerie. Exclusive and always produced in very limited numbers, the Atelier Collection includes unique jewellery creations renowned for their jewel setting or remarkable timepieces with mastery in mechanical complexity. The exhibition of the Atelier Collection is a voyage, exceptional in terms of both time and place, appearing only at extraordinary events or in famous locations. Organised on-site in association with the brand’s representatives, the Atelier Collection will only be available for sale occasionally, as it passes through this voyage. This exclusive collection is enclosed in beautiful storage trunks, whose elegant wood, leather and satin are in perfect harmony with Parmigiani’s stylistic signature.
The Kalparisma Ombellia Atelier collection is given a highly feminine reinterpretation through the unique graphic composition of the dial. The ‘floral’ setting exudes a fresh, springtime style. Starting from the dial, a composition of diamonds in the form of small flowers, radiate subtly and extend as far as the watch’s bracelet. The Abyss Blue face adds to the depth. Delicate and feminine, the elegant Ombellia beats to the rhythm of Parmigiani Fleurier’s own PF331 automatic movement. The Ombellia is only available in 18 carat white gold. Its brilliant cut diamonds total 1.30 carats.

Hermes
The H-Hour watch takes its inspiration from the red bougainvillea flower which has shades of intense candid pink too. This tropical flower is paired with diamonds in the H-Hour watch by Hermes. The case is secured by a Mysore goatskin strap in a flamboyant bougainvillea pink. The outline of the dial forms the company’s initial: the two vertical sides, ending in triangular bases, frame the dial’s perfect square. The form is complemented by either a shiny mirror finish or is adorned with 64 brilliant-cut diamonds.
At the centre, the silvered guilloché dial displays black numerals, except for the two and the four, which indicates to the company’s address at 24, Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
With its saddle-stitched simple or double wrap-around strap, the pure graphic design of its case and its distinctive colour, the H-Hour Bougainvillea embodies a creative twist.

Piaget
This Piaget watch, third in the stunning range of Haute Joaillerie Limelight watches, is luxuriant diamond vegetation, cleverly blending pear, brilliant and baguette cuts. It unfolds its extraordinary radiance on a dainty feminine wrist. Two leaves, each composed of a fabulous marquise-cut diamond conceal a double mystery. A gentle touch is enough to raise them and reveal a Polynesian mother-of-pearl dial and another all gem-set one. These 76.2 carats of luminous delicately interwoven motifs represent a prodigious feat of custom-made jewellery-making. No less than 1,050 hours of development and 160 hours of gem-setting have been lavished on achieving a quality and finish taken to dizzying heights of perfection.
