To be fair, she was absolutely right to do so, because her show is nothing short of stunning, showcasing a hand-picked selection of truly breathtaking timepieces.&#8221;<\/p>\n<cite>Frank Sans C<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>From pastel dials to ornamental stones: timepieces revealed as ultimate fashion accessories<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Long confined to classic blacks, blues and silvers, watchmaking has now put colour firmly back at the heart of style. From heritage houses to the most innovative brands, colour has truly emerged as a design language. Far more than a simple choice of shade, it has become a means of self-expression, a reflection of personality and, above all, a powerful emotional statement. This season, dials are filled with powder pink, sage green, vibrant turquoise and hues inspired by natural gemstones: a shift that reflects the ever-closer link between watchmaking and fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Underlining colour as a hallmark<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most striking releases of this trend is the new TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph. The watchmaking manufacture reimagines the laid-back and sporting character of its 1980s timepieces, thanks to a range of refined pastel colourways. From sandy beige and sky blue to delicate pink, these understated hues bring a sense of freshness to a lineup traditionally defined by its motorsport feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tag5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48958\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The new Formula 1 Solargraph puts a fresh pastel spin on the lineup\u2019s iconic design cues.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Under this playful aesthetic lies, however, serious technical innovation, such as the Solargraph movement, which allow the watch to run on both natural and artificial light. Only one minute in the sun, and it power will last for an entire day. A full charge takes less than 40 hours and gives you up to 10 months of power in total darkness. Furthermore, its battery boasts a lifespan of roughly 15 years. It is no mean feat if you keep in mind that it also has a central seconds hand and a date display at 3 o&#8217;clock, both of which are power-guzzlers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tag2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48956\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The standout pastel pink opaline dial version is a limited run, with only 2,500 pieces available.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What really catches the eye, though, is the design of those models. It underlines a 38mm case crafted from a composite material known as TH-Polylight or bio-polyamide. The unidirectional rotating bezel uses the exact same material, which gives the timepiece a lightweight feel and a fun presence on the wrist. And as mentioned, TAG Heuer hasn&#8217;t held back on the colourways: a beige version limited to 3,500 pieces, a light blue one at 3,000, and the pastel pink one at 2,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tag6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48957\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.6071428571428572;width:600px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The pastel blue opaline dial is punctuated by applied, polished rhodium-plated hour markers, coated in a luminescent material, which looks white during the day and glows green during the night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the matching dial, a raspberry minute track provides just the right amount of contrast: a pop of colour echoing the seconds hand. The hour markers are striking and, just like the hands, they are luminescent. It would have been a brilliant touch to have the luminescence tinted to match each specific watch colour; that is where TAG Heuer really could have gone the extra mile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"48959\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tag10.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48959\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"48960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tag9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48960\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">The 38mm diameter case is crafted from TH-Polylight or bio-polyamide.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To top off this lineup, two extra models come in sandblasted steel: pastel green and lavender blue, with dials tricked out with diamond hour markers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tag1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48955\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The 5 new TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph models.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u20ac1,950<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Technical specifications:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beige opaline dial with a cool grey rehaut\/Pastel blue opaline dial with a blue rehaut\/Pastel pink opaline dial with a pink rehaut and a 60-second\/minute scale<br>Polished rhodium-plated applied hour markers, featuring white Super-LumiNova during the day and green luminescence during the night<br>Pink-lacquered central hand<br>Date at 3 o&#8217;clock with a white date window<br>38mm case in pastel pink\/beige\/pastel blue TH-Polylight<br>Bidirectional rotating TH-Polylight bezel with a 60-second\/minute scale<br>Flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating<br>Steel crown<br>Screw-down steel case back<br>Water-resistant to 100 metres<br>Pastel pink\/beige\/pastel blue rubber strap<br>Steel pin buckle<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tagheuer.com\/gb\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>TAG HEUER WEBSITE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>The essence of jewellery in watchmaking<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some brands go a step further and put colour right in the spotlight of their creative vision. At Dior, the D My Dior lineup \u2014 spearheaded by Victoire de Castellane, Artistic Director of Dior Joaillerie \u2014 turns the famous Cannage motif into a vibrant canvas for chromatic expression.  A motif really appreciated by Monsieur Dior and which originally graced the Napoleon III chairs that welcomed guests to Avenue Montaigne for the iconic New Look runway show on 12 February 1947.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dior3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48933\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The D My Dior showcases the clean, graphic lines of the Cannage motif, a hallmark whose Monsieur Dior was fond of.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The white mother-of-pearl dial is adorned with rainbow lines, echoing the bezel which is set with 50 gemstones \u2014 including 25 diamonds, 5 sapphires, 5 pink sapphires, 3 orange sapphires, 3 yellow sapphires, 4 tsavorites, 2 emeralds, 2 amethysts, and 2 Para\u00edba tourmalines. Here, colour is far more than simple embellishment; it tells the story of the brand\u2019s couture heritage and its gift for translating iconic design cues into the world of watchmaking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dior1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48934\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The geometric interplay of the motif unfolds across the dial, perfectly framed by a gemset bezel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From a technical perspective, the 25mm yellow gold case is water-resistant to 30 metres and houses a quartz movement. This stunning timepiece comes on a delicate pink satin strap with a diamond-set yellow gold pin buckle. To push the concept even further, a neon pink or green strap would have been a daring touch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dior2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48935\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The yellow gold crown is set with 13 brilliant-cut diamonds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u20ac25,000<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Technical specifications:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Case: 25mm 18-carat yellow gold<br>18-carat yellow gold bezel set with 25 diamonds, 5&nbsp;sapphires, 5&nbsp;pink sapphires, 4&nbsp;tsavorites, 3&nbsp;orange sapphires, 2&nbsp;yellow sapphires, 2&nbsp;Para\u00edba tourmalines, 2&nbsp;amethysts and 2&nbsp;emeralds<br>18-carat yellow gold crown set with 13&nbsp;brilliant-cut diamonds (0.03&nbsp;ct*)<br>Water-resistant to 30&nbsp;metres<br>White mother-of-pearl dial engraved with a coloured Cannage motif<br>Polished dauphine hands<br>Anti-reflective sapphire crystal<br>Pink satin bracelet<br>18-carat yellow gold tang buckle set with 18&nbsp;diamonds (0.18&nbsp;ct*)<br>Quartz movement<br>Functions: Hours and minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dior.com\/en_gb\/fashion\/products\/CD04115X1807_0000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DIOR WEBSITE<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The return of texture and character<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Colour is also about the materials themselves. Piaget has perfectly captured this idea in its new Sixtie timepiece, featuring a blue quartz dial. The natural veins of the stone create unique patterns, ensuring that no two timepieces are identical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/piaget1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48949\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br>The shiny navy-blue strap put the spotlight on the gadroons surrounding the bezel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Far from being just a colour, this living material breathes life into the dial. The hallmark 29mm trapezoidal case in rose gold also makes a return, with its famous gadroons echoing the Andy Warhol timepieces by the same brand. This model is powered by a quartz movement and, unlike the initial Sixtie timepieces introduced last year with a metal bracelet, it is presented on a shiny navy-blue leather strap. This strap creates the illusion of passing directly through the case, further accentuating its jewellery feel. Because deep down, this timepiece is the true heir to that utterly wild era known as the &#8220;Swinging Sixties&#8221; of 1960s London: an era in which timepieces were turned into sautoir necklaces, fashion statements, and creations that dared to embrace all kinds of shapes and extravagant colours. It is a sense of freedom that you can truly feel in this model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/piaget2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48950\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Sixtie timepiece\u2019s trapezoidal case are a nod to the late 1960s \u2014 the era coined the Swinging Sixties.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u20ac21,600<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Technical specifications:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>29mm trapezoidal, rose gold case<br>Thickness: 6.5 mm<br>Blue quartz dial<br>Water-resistant to 50 metres<br>Piaget 57P quartz movement<br>Navy-blue alligator leather strap<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.piaget.com\/gb-en\/watches\/sixtie\/rose-gold-quartzite-watch-g0a51335\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PIAGET WEBSITE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Louis Vuitton adopts a similar philosophy with its new Color Blossom timepieces. Right at first sight, you can\u2019t possibly mistake them for any other model. The star of the show here is the Monogram Flower, an iconic hallmark of the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/lv1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48943\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Color Blossom lineup by Louis Vuitton.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This motif was created in 1896 by Georges Vuitton as a tribute to his father. The design celebrates its 130th anniversary this year. Rather than simply dropping the motif onto a dial, Louis Vuitton has sculpted the entire timepiece in its silhouette. The pebble-shaped case mirrors this sun-inspired form, protected by a curved sapphire crystal. For a timepiece measuring just 26mm in diameter, the level of detail is astonishing and truly steals the show. The crown is shaped like a flower and the tiny pin at the centre of the hands draws on Louis Vuitton&#8217;s historic trunk-making expertise. Then, the magic of gemstones is underlined thanks to dials crafted from Australian white mother-of-pearl and Brazilian amazonite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/lv5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48946\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Once the stone has been cut, precision machines are used to curve and shape it, capturing the hallmark rounded aesthetic and brilliance of the Color Blossom jewellery line.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What is truly outstanding is the construction. The petals tilt slightly towards the centre like an actual flower, creating a brilliant sense of depth and light. And from a technical perspective, it is a far cry from simple. These dials are just 0.3 to 0.6 mm thick. When you are working with such thin natural stones, the slightest slip of the hand can shatter it all. Achieving this curve requires bending the material using specialized machines at the Louis Vuitton Fabrique des Arts, without cracking it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"48944\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/lv2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48944\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"48945\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/lv3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48945\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">The new Color Blossom timepieces bear Louis Vuitton\u2019s creative hallmark: the Monogram Flower.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, the lineup comprises four models. There is an entry-level steel version featuring a white mother-of-pearl dial. Then, two rose gold versions: one with a pink-tinted mother-of-pearl dial, and one of the most stunning pieces, adorned with 103 snow-set brilliant-cut diamonds. Eventually, a yellow gold version is underlined by a turquoise amazonite centre. Despite all this artistry, Louis Vuitton keeps a really simple approach of this timepiece, thanks to the quartz movement and water-resistance to 30 metres. At the end of the day, the real movement here focuses on stones, volumes, and light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/color-blossom\/10095-color-blossom.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Color Blossom \u2013 ref.

The Seiko Presage Cocktail Sakura Aviation is the perfect example of it. This model draws inspiration from a cocktail: the Sakura Aviation, a creation by the legendary Hisashi Kishi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/seiko1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48952\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Seiko Presage Cocktail Sakura Aviation features a mother-of-pearl dial which perfectly echoes the tones and shimmer of the cocktail named after it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We are not just talking about any bartender here, this is about the International Bar Association World Champion \u2014 a master craftsman decorated in Japan: in short, a real institution. His cocktail blends gin, maraschino liqueur, lemon, sakura, and cr\u00e8me de violette. Seiko just thought: what if we brought its essence into a timepiece ? The real showstopper of this 34mm piece is its pink mother-of-pearl dial, which conveys images of Japanese cherry blossoms in full bloom, while its shimmer varies depending on the angle with which light hits the dial. The hands, hour markers, and crown are finished in rose gold, bringing an authentic warmth to the timepiece, while the two-tone bracelet rounds it off brilliantly. From a mechanical perspective, the self-winding calibre boasts roughly a 40 hour-power reserve. In short: reliable, straightforward, and tried-and-tested. The noteworthy point is that this is a limited run, with only 9,000 pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/seiko2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48951\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Seiko Presage Cocktail Sakura Aviation Timepiece.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u20ac640 \u2013 Limited run of 9,000 pieces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Technical Specifications:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>34mm stainless steel case<br>Thickness: 10.9mm<br>Water-resistant to 50 metres<br>4R35 self-winding calibre<br>Roughly 41-hour power reserve<br>Stop-seconds function<br>Date display<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seikowatches.com\/global-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEIKO WEBSITE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Herbelin has opted for a khaki hue to give its new Cap Camarat Squelette a dynamic feel.

Speaking of legibility, the hands are luminescent too. But when it comes to the design, it is the khaki hue which this timepiece&#8217;s identity. The colour runs along the minute track framing the dial and extends to the FKM rubber strap. The strap features a velvety, &#8220;soft-touch&#8221; finish that feels comfortable on the wrist and avoids that sticky sensation you sometimes get with other rubber straps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/herbelin3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48940\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Coated in luminescent material, the applied hour markers give the illusion of floating above the movement.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What is more, the inner workings are fully on display thanks to a Swiss Sellita self-winding movement \u2014 a safe bet that boasts a 41-hour power reserve.
