Reading the time, yes, but in a jewel around the neck!
The necklace watch is making a strong comeback!
Long associated with the discreet gestures of the elegant women of the 19th century, it has been making a very notable comeback in recent years, much to our delight. At Chanel, this exercise is second nature. Thus, on chains most often adorned with diamonds and onyx, a camellia button conceals the dial, the silhouette of Mademoiselle dressed in her iconic black suit, her cherished lion, a makeup palette, or even her lipstick... Each piece tells a story, and time is read in an almost theatrical gesture, and above all, very couture! /public-objects/8a31b825-204a-47a2-ba34-49b19d7299ab-536980bb-3630-4277-8f6c-d3d2f515d575-81bd5c9c-4a61-4092-a68b-a05a686beb9c-7d1ad10f-84f0-449a-9bbb-2ab24b2d5600-GEM-T%20-%20Photos%20-%20Substack-6.webp Image sélectionnée Taking jewelry to new heights, the Grand Lady Kalla by Vacheron Constantin pushes modularity to its extreme. Designed as a transformable set, it can be worn as a bracelet, watch, jewelry piece, or lariat necklace. Adorned with diamonds and colored stones – rubies, sapphires, or emeralds – and punctuated with Akoya pearls, it is worn as a ceremonial jewel, designed to accompany all uses. The same freedom can be observed at Piaget, who has made the "Swinging Sautoirs" one of its favorite means of expression. True to its heritage from the 1960s and 1970s, the maison imagines watches suspended from long precious chains, animated by colored stones and graphic shapes. Finally, it is impossible not to mention Bovet, whose Miss Audrey Bris de Verre watch illustrates a technical approach to wearing around the neck. Thanks to the patented Amadeo system, the timepiece transforms with a simple twist of the hand, from a wristwatch to a table watch, then into a pendant. Set like a jewel and designed as a portable object, it embodies precious, mobile, and intelligent watchmaking, where function follows desire. /public-objects/a40517ef-3ff9-46ef-923e-2441d6f8b9d2-0f1a731f-023b-468e-9be5-2d0801c545f8-87e0aab2-4f6e-486b-9d35-74b2a6ed4dbf-4a9dd351-0e06-4c17-b496-47cb872676df-GEM-T%20-%20Photos%20-%20Substack-6%20copie.webp Image sélectionnée
