These two new watches from Dior are quite possibly the most exquisite diamond encrusted timepieces available.
The “Christal Midnight Blue” watch, designed exclusively by John Galliano, boasts a blue mother of pearl dial set with 36 diamonds and bezel set with 80 diamonds. The stainless steel bracelet is set with 117 diamonds and the registers are set with pyramid-cut blue sapphire crystals. The diamond count totals 233 (2.35 carats). Featured in UK Vogue, the Christal Midnight Blue watch is now available at Dior boutiques and select retailers. But with only 500 available, time is ticking.
The “D de Dior Rose Gold” watch was designed by Victoire de Castellane, Dior’s artistic director of fine jewelry. The watch features a mother of pearl dial inset with a whimsical spiral of 55 pink diamonds and is constructed with 18-karat rose gold. The bezel comprises an additional 76 diamonds, offset against the sleek black satin strap, making this timepiece so exclusive that only 15 have been produced.
Prices range from £3,150 to £14,900. For more information, visit the Christian Dior website.
