Dior has revealed nine new “Grand Soir” watches, taking inspiration from the enchanting and festive nature of fireworks. The unique designs as seen on the bezels and dials showcase elements of gold, diamonds, sapphires, aventurine and feathers that nod to Christian Dior’s taste for parties and festivities.
This “Grand Soir” collection is characterised by an enchanting explosion of colour, precious stones and light. Festive colours and illuminations light up the watch dials, as well as their 36mm cases and black patent calfskin straps, featuring a fade-out of silver sparkles.
Dior’s “Grand Soir Feux d’Artifice” watches have white or rose gold cases paved with round snow-set diamonds and, for some versions, round sapphires. The dial is finished in glossy black lacquer, contrasting with bursts of different colours, depending on the model. Indeed, each model features a variety of precious stones (diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, pink sapphires and tsavorite garnet) and couture details (feathers).
These unique pieces feature quartz movement with adjustment corrector, with hours and minutes hands, and are water-resistant up to 50 metres. Aventurine hand-engraved with gold brings a final precious touch to the caseback.
