DESCRIPTION
BOUCHERON
“I only count joyful hours”. It was in these words, now engraved on every Boucheron watch, that Frédéric Boucheron immortalised his vision of watch-making.The watch was no longer something to mark the passing of time, but rather something to complement present happiness. It was no longer just a mathematical measuring instrument, but rather the unique celebration of a dreamlike, emotional moment, which takes on positive energy year after year and from generation to generation.
Drawing on both tradition and innovation, all of Boucheron’s watch collections are inspired by this unique philosophy of time and reflect the Maison’s singular savoir-faire and desire for excellence.
This year, Boucheron is introducing a steel version of its elegant classic for the Epure collection, a unique diamond unbellished creation of the Reflet watch, and a new version of the Serpent Bohème’s timepiece with an enchanting effect.
Finally, the Maison’s iconic motifs have been recreated in Exceptional Timepieces that embody its savoir-faire in high jewelry and watch-making.
EPURE, THE ART OF SIMPLICITY
With the Epure collection, Maison Boucheron becomes an architect of time. With its strong lines, and classic esthetic, the Maison plays on contrasts that come together in a celebration of simplicity, this promising a new and timeless elegance.Following the launch of the first gold version in gold two years ago, Epure is now introducing 6 steel models for an even more contemporary look. Beneath the Epure Acier’s cleverly simple round case lies a highly complex design and a creative esthetic that enhances Boucheron’s iconic motifs more than ever before.
More than just a timepiece, Epure represents a philosophy of life and embodies Frédéric Boucheron’s vision of time by preserving only the essential to light up life’s most joyful hours.
MOTIFS
THE CABOCHON
Electric blue in colour, it has a subtle glow that is unique to the intimate savoir-faire of the Jeweler of Lights. Known as the ‘oracle stone’ in antiquity, this polished sapphire is positioned at the top of the winding crown and of the dial, drawing attention to this iconic Maison Boucheron motif more than ever before.THE DOUBLE GADROON
Placed together, these two rings of polished gold symbolise the eternal love between two beings who are forever bound to one another. The double gadroon is one of the Maison’s oldest motifs.1893
The oversize 3 and 9 markers are a tribute to the year 1893, when the Boucheron boutique opened at 26 Place Vendôme. Frédéric Boucheron was the first jeweler to set up a boutique in this famous Parisian square and chose the location for its exceptional light.PARIS COBBLESTONES
A true hallmark of the French capital, the clous de Paris motif reflects the city and its architecture. It is used in many creations (including the legendary Quatre) and creates light effects that are contrasted with the brilliance of the Epure dial.
