Dior's Pre-Baselworld: Introducing This Year's Latest Creations


Dior's Pre-Baselworld Showcase: A Glimpse at This Year's Latest Creations


Baselworld, the international watch exhibition held in Switzerland at the end of March. Dior, set to exhibit at the show, held its own pre-Baselworld fair in Tokyo at the end of last month.




Last year, Dior garnered attention with its "Crystal Tourbillon," which featured sapphire crystal and diamonds on its bridges and plates. This year, the "Dior Christal" collection returns with an even more robust lineup. The featured model boasts a large 42mm case adorned with black sapphire crystal. The asymmetrical arrangement of sapphire crystals on the bezel, combined with a wider central row on the bracelet, creates a distinctly sharp impression.




Dior Christal 42mm
Automatic, stainless steel case & bracelet x sapphire crystal, ¥682,500, scheduled for September release


La Mini D de Dior
Quartz, yellow gold case x diamonds x satin strap, ¥798,000, scheduled for May release



Also unveiled as a ladies' model is the "La Mini D de Dior." This collection, with its 19mm case diameter, is a spin-off from the "La D de Dior" line, designed by Victoire de Castellane, Dior's Artistic Director for Fine Jewellery. While the "La D de Dior" collection has consistently embodied the principles of fine jewellery making, incorporating precious stones, this new iteration achieves ultimate elegance befitting a dress watch with its petite 19mm size, designed to gracefully adorn even the most slender of wrists.

Dior's watch collection continues to pursue creativity befitting its couture heritage. The Maison's DNA is evident in its craftsmanship, which remains as strong as ever this year.
