The Ultimate Secret Watch Concealed within a Descending Butterfly
Among the ladies' watches presented at Baselworld 2016, the "The Princess Butterfly" collection particularly captivated many women. Designed to embody the silhouette of a butterfly, the jeweler's iconic motif, these models are an embodiment of a beautiful butterfly gracefully fluttering its wings. Behind the elegant wings, adorned with sapphires and diamonds, lies a watch set with baguette-cut tapered stones, exuding a subtle yet luxurious brilliance. The timepiece, meticulously crafted by rendering the butterfly's flutter and shape using the latest 3D technology while pursuing perfection in its structure and functions as a watch, can be said to be a symbol of the jeweler's proud craftsmanship. Adorn yourself with this elegant style that transforms from a jeweled bracelet to a secret watch, and indulge in the true radiance of a mature woman.
A Perpetual Calendar Model Challenging the Fusion of Technological Innovation and Design
For men's watches, the "The Master Graff Perpetual Calendar," equipped with the patented new 7.2mm-thick "The Graff Caliber 7" movement, has been newly introduced and is generating buzz. The openworked dial, revealing a complex arrangement, displays the day, date, and month on a smooth horizontal line. The highly accurate perpetual calendar function means the dial, which indicates leap years, requires no date adjustment until 2100, as long as the watch is not damaged. Designs that incorporate the jeweler's DNA throughout, such as the bezel inspired by the facets of diamonds and the crown set with white, clear gemstones, are filled with luxurious beauty and youthful dynamism. This will undoubtedly be a timepiece that elevates the status of the man who wears it.
