The dial, at the heart of aesthetics
The dial is the face of the watch and must be both easy to read and an expression of the richness of Chaumet tradition. Thus, a number of finishing touches are added to each new model: bayadère stripes for Dandy, links and waves for Class One, material and craftsmanship for Attrape-moi…, mother-of-pearl marquetry and lace-work for Hortensia.
All express a different dimension of time, of movement, of emotion and celebrate the savoir-faire of the jewellers, engravers, stone setters and sculptors, miniature painters and watchmakers who perpetuate and enrich the Maison’s watch collections. Each timepiece embodies the extraordinary dreams, creativity, technical ingenuity and jewellery expertise of Chaumet.
