DESCRIPTION
- Keeping Time Precious
While traditionally known as a feminine and precious small watch pioneer, Boucheron today highlights a radiant and asserted femininity with the return of jewels that tell time.
Combining the subtle art of complicated movements with the creativity of jewelry, the House multiplies the impact with exceptional creative watches, as symbols of exclusive personalities.
From the time that it was founded, Boucheron’s watches have celebrated the perfect balance between the magic of jewelry and watch-making expertise, between purity of design and technical prowess.
Boucheron, a rich history in the watch making industry for nearly 150 years, where knowledge and creativity are passed down from generation to generation, where « taking your time » is synonymous with meticulous perfection and sophistication, where each timepiece is exceptional.
The Audacious
Exceptional models of creation and extroversion. La Maison Boucheron combines the subtle art of a watch’s detailing and jewelry’s creativity to give sumptuous and surprising interpretations.
Crazy Parade: The Art of Seduction
Boucheron is adding to the miscellany of its strange and seductive “Cabinet of Curiosities” with a proudly parading peacock. The majestic yet dainty bird seems to have leapt out of a medieval illumination and landed on the face of this most attractive timepiece, which features the finest virtuoso techniques drawn from the arts of enamel, engraving and stone setting.
The most renowned artists in their field presided over the birth of this fascinating bird, originally from India, a true master in the art of seduction. In order to create a majestic, almost larger-than-life peacock that seems to overrun the limited space it has been assigned, our experienced and complementary craftsmen have each provided the best of their skills. The first of them gave volume to the metal; the second one tamed fire and its palette of mineral colours; and the third set carefully-selected stones in the ocellus of each feather in its majestic plumage, without ever altering any of the previous work.
This white gold masterpiece, which almost seems to come alive, both amazes and seduces: it is, in a way, the perfect embodiment of creative audacity. The highly intricate watch, with its fine and delicate work, features translucent, opalescent and opaque enamels crafted with the “champlevé” technique, which greatly contribute to creating the kind of rare and indescribable magic experienced when discovering the piece. But what makes this a truly superlative work is that the rotary motion given by the “Seconde Folle” complication - associated with the GP 4000 calibre - creates the illusion that the Peacock is actually breathing. Like a phoenix clad in its richest array, the bird almost seems to have a glowing soul, to the point that it escapes from the space in which it was confined, its feathers spilling over the bezel, itself intricately enamelled and set with precious gems. The animal, thus adorned with colours enhanced by the transparency and deep colours of its materials, arouses aesthetic emotions of a kind seldom experienced.
About Boucheron
The House of Boucheron, a French family dynasty of jewellers, created by Frédéric Boucheron in 1858, and expanded by four generations of the founder’s direct descendants, in the year 2000 found a worthy successor in the PPR / Gucci Group.
Boucheron has been producing watches since its beginnings. The House quickly earned the honourable name of “Jeweller of Time”. At the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1867, Boucheron was noticed by the jury as a watch pioneer with the presentation of its “intriguing and incredible” châtelaine.
With its clientele of film stars, authors, artists, maharajahs and billionaires, Boucheron – which celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2006 - holds particular appeal for those whose celebrity and status find a match in its magnificent creations.
Throughout its long history of brilliant collections, between uniqueness of design and bold sophistication, Boucheron jewellery offers the promise of exquisite luxury and alluring fascination. With the magical ease of a true artist, Place Vendôme’s master jeweller selects and combines precious stones from an extensive palette of flamboyant colours from among the world’s rarest and most desirable gems. With its free spirited and audacious designs, the House of Boucheron constantly reinvents the timeless essence of unique elegance.
Boucheron currently operates more than 45 boutiques around the world, as well as an on-line sales website to satisfy lovers of fine jewellery and timepieces wherever they may be.
