The Maison unveils a new addition to its collections: the Reine de Naples 8938. A delicate snow setting adorning the dial imbues it with luminosity and splendor. The Reine de Naples 8938 is available in white gold with a blue bracelet and in rose gold with an orange bracelet.
For over five centuries, decorating timepieces with precious stones has been a cherished watchmaking tradition. A technique that calls for great dexterity and unwavering patience. In contrast to the traditional concentric setting, the snow technique uses different sized stones to cover the dial, thereby keeping the visibility of the material upon which they are set to a minimum. The result is unmatched brilliance.
