DESCRIPTION
- Keeping Time Precious
While traditionally known as a feminine and precious small watch pioneer, Boucheron today highlights a radiant and asserted femininity with the return of jewels that tell time.
Combining the subtle art of complicated movements with the creativity of jewelry, the House multiplies the impact with exceptional creative watches, as symbols of exclusive personalities.
From the time that it was founded, Boucheron’s watches have celebrated the perfect balance between the magic of jewelry and watch-making expertise, between purity of design and technical prowess.
Boucheron, a rich history in the watch making industry for nearly 150 years, where knowledge and creativity are passed down from generation to generation, where « taking your time » is synonymous with meticulous perfection and sophistication, where each timepiece is exceptional.
The Audacious
Exceptional models of creation and extroversion. La Maison Boucheron combines the subtle art of a watch’s detailing and jewelry’s creativity to give sumptuous and surprising interpretations.
Shéhérazade Tourbillon: Seduction from the Orient
Europe has often fantasised the Orient as a Garden of Eden, full of fragrant spices and fabulous palaces. Today still, these dreamlike lands’ evocative power resonates with our emotions… like the tales Shéhérazade told the Persian king for one thousand and one nights to avoid certain death: so fascinated was he by each unfinished tale that he spared her life, morning after morning. In a poetic whirlwind, memories intertwine in oriental arabesques formed by the murmur of refreshing fountains and exhilarating essences of lemon and pistachio.
Fascinating in that it seems to have captured the essence of the East, the Shéhérazade Tourbillon watch, sculpted from white gold, has the power to evoke these Oriental tales, as if a genie had risen from a lamp. Striking as traditional jewellery can be, glittering with dozens of little coins, with their seamed or beaded circles, catching the eye of the beholder, carried away by the stones’ dazzle and craftsmanship deployed. The artisans, masters of material, have put in motion the sensuality of an oriental princess in an ethereal ballet that music lovers will eagerly liken to the dance of the seven veils in Richard Strauss’ Salome. And if musicality can be heard in the fleeting hours by who knows how to listen to a watch’s heart, the flying tourbillon shall become the centre of a perfectly-timed ronde - its hypnotic rhythm creating the ability for who owns it to travel in thought. And the pace of seconds rings like an echo in one of the Persian king’s marble halls. Like drops of water on the surface of a mother-of-pearl basin, these infinitely-repeated notes deconstruct the concentric circles they form, the orderly nature of a dial designed like a mosaic formed of subtly-changing colours. The motive, inspired by the opulence of ancient Persian jewels and ingrained like a precious inlay of fine pearl in pink gold – set with diamonds, rubies, spinels, orange and yellow sapphires - and in white gold - set with diamonds, blue and pink sapphires and amethysts.
The Tourbillon Shéhérazade watch is sensual, poetic, and very opulent. It is the work of a passionate jeweller, which emanates intense charm that aesthetes are sure to appreciate as an expression of oriental extravagance. Every little detail - from the tourbillon carriage formed of foliage partly set with diamonds, to the intricate paving of the dial - invites the beholder to yield to the Arabian Nights’ delights.
About Boucheron
The House of Boucheron, a French family dynasty of jewellers, created by Frédéric Boucheron in 1858, and expanded by four generations of the founder’s direct descendants, in the year 2000 found a worthy successor in the PPR / Gucci Group.
Boucheron has been producing watches since its beginnings. The House quickly earned the honourable name of “Jeweller of Time”. At the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1867, Boucheron was noticed by the jury as a watch pioneer with the presentation of its “intriguing and incredible” châtelaine.
With its clientele of film stars, authors, artists, maharajahs and billionaires, Boucheron – which celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2006 - holds particular appeal for those whose celebrity and status find a match in its magnificent creations.
Throughout its long history of brilliant collections, between uniqueness of design and bold sophistication, Boucheron jewellery offers the promise of exquisite luxury and alluring fascination. With the magical ease of a true artist, Place Vendôme’s master jeweller selects and combines precious stones from an extensive palette of flamboyant colours from among the world’s rarest and most desirable gems. With its free spirited and audacious designs, the House of Boucheron constantly reinvents the timeless essence of unique elegance.
Boucheron currently operates more than 45 boutiques around the world, as well as an on-line sales website to satisfy lovers of fine jewellery and timepieces wherever they may be.
