THE MAISON BOUCHERON
THE HISTORY OF LUXURY & TIMELESSNESS
The first jeweler on Place Vendôme, the Maison opened its doors in Paris under the arches of the Palais Royal in 1858. From the very beginning, Frédéric Boucheron set the tone: this international adventurer traveled to mines all over the world in order to acquire the very finest stones. He was a forerunner in terms of style and technique, and his inventions soon won prizes at the World’s Fairs; he was a man on a continual quest for excellence. For him, every jewel was a work of art and every watch should be a jewel.
True to this spirit of distinction, guided by the search for elegance and modernity, Boucheron has established a reputation for more than 150 years as the jeweler of light in the “City of Light”.
Today, it is the only jewelry Maison whose workshops still overlook the famous Place.
None other has succeeded in winning the favor of both royalty and that of clients with more audacious and carefree tastes.
Boucheron is known and renowned for the quality of its stones and the painstaking care and attention it lavishes on highlighting them, for passing on its savoir-faire from generation to generation, for its ongoing quest for innovation with the best craftsmen of its age, and for the technical prowess of its jewels and timepieces.
BOUCHERON WATCHMAKING CREATIVITY IN 2012
From 1859, Boucheron watches have been distinguished by their esthetics as much as by their ingenuity. Like all Boucheron creations, they tell a story and arouse emotion. This quest for elegance, modernity and excellence continues in 2012, with the exceptional new pieces AJOUREE, CRAZY JUNGLE HATHI, HIBISCUS TOURBILLON and CYPRIS TOURBILLON WITH THREE GOLD BRIDGES.
Inspired by fabulous bestiary and other symbols dear to Boucheron, each timepiece is designed like a jewelry creation, the work of a true craftsman to sculpt movement, create light and give life to dreamlike or playful piece... in short: a new gem in the extraordinary collection of watches from Boucheron.
In addition to the codes of the Maison, such as variations in volume, rounded lines, or stone setting of a unique quality, Boucheron skillfully and harmoniously combines its savoir-faire with that of the best watchmaking craftsmen of its time. A search for excellence to create exceptional pieces that the Maison has conceived and designed itself.
Both in terms of their sources of inspiration, their savoir-faire and their design, the new timepieces for 2012 are exceptional pieces that like all Boucheron creations capture the light and enhance the precious materials of which they are made.
CRAZY JUNGLE HATHI
A LUXURIOUS KALEIDOSCOPE
Created in 2011, the CRAZY JUNGLE HATHI collection defies the everyday.
It transports us to India through its most beautiful symbol: the elephant –“Hathi” in Hindi.
It shines thanks to two unprecedented technical feats created exclusively for Boucheron by the Girard-Perregaux manufacture: the Crazy Seconds, an additional module to the GP4000 caliber.
This creation was also awarded the “Ladies’ Watch Prize” at the “Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève 2011”.
A NEW HOMAGE TO INDIA
Unprecedented in the finest sense of the word, CRAZY JUNGLE HATHI embodies the strong and precious bond that unites the Maison with the East, along with the Boucheron dynasty’s wonderful spirit of travel and conquest.
The Maison has had a long-standing love affair with India. Louis Boucheron first traveled to India in 1909 and was instantly enchanted by its history, culture, flavors, fabrics and extraordinary colored stones... This bond between the Maison and the continent was sealed forever in 1928, when the Maharajah of Patiala entrusted Louis Boucheron with over 7,000 diamonds and 1,400 emeralds. The resulting 149 breathtakingly beautiful extraordinary pieces are still causing a stir on the Place Vendôme and continue to influence the Boucheron craftsmen. CRAZY JUNGLE HATHI was born of this unforgettable encounter.
This year, the collection is being enriched with two new designs: CRAZY JUNGLE HATHI Purple and CRAZY JUNGLE HATHI Diamond.
THE ART OF DETAIL AND RELIEF
Executed with extreme precision, each detail is rich in symbolism. The proud and elegant stance of the elephant – which raises its trunk towards the sky, extending onto the bezel – is a symbol of strength, power and prestige. Unable to contain its celebratory mood, the animal dominates the dial with its generous forms and its diamond-paved toes rest on the edge of the case. The blanket that it carries on its back is reminiscent of the silk finery worn by the Indian elephants transporting the Maharajahs’ treasures...
This art of detail combines with the art of sculpture and reliefwork. The “Crazy Second” disk evokes a kaleidoscope of changing colors, seen through the openings in the form of delicate drops. This effect heightens the beauty of the housing and gives the timepiece sculptural depth. Depth is also created by a dark sky illuminated with stars, and by more than 300 gems set into the dial, whose subtle tones accentuate the impression of roundness and wealth. The spotting and rippling of the cloth also give the impression that it is fluttering in the wind.
