New creations are joining the Alhambra collection. Time is concealed at the heart of the emblematic, four-leafed clover-inspired motif. Following in the footsteps of the chain watches that appeared in Europe in the 17th century, these jewels that tell the time take the form of precious pendants, accompanying their wearer’s silhouette.

In keeping with the Alhambra collection’s iconic aesthetic, each creation is adorned with precious materials. Two of them showcase the intense radiance of guilloché gold: the first discloses a dial in white mother-of-pearl beneath a motif in guilloché rose gold, while the second conceals a dial in guilloché yellow gold inside a sparkling case, entirely set with diamonds.

The diamond creations are elegantly paved using the snow setting technique, which consists in bringing stones of different diameters together to cover as much of the surface as possible. The diamonds reveal their brilliance thanks to the gold structure’s openwork; it allows the light to pass though when the watch is opened, producing an intense sparkle. This traditional jewelry technique is testimony to the careful attention paid to every detail.
