Ladies
JUST FOR HER
SIMPLY SOPHISTICATED
ITH LITTLE MORE THAN THE DÉCOLLE-
TAGE OF A GEOMETRIC FONT GRACING
THE DIAL ON MOST VERSIONS,
Alexandre Meerson’s first foray into a purely
feminine collection presents a simple geometry
framing the innate appeal of the beautifully
crafted visage. Whether catching and reflecting
shafts of light with a spray of diamonds, or
presenting the essence of natural materials,
Meerson’s Palatine collection represents a superb
option for ladies of discerning taste.
As a purely selfish treasure, the Palatine offers
a look all its own. Putting aside iconography in
favor of self satisfaction, Palatine is a very
personal experience that others may not
recognize by trademark or shape, but will
appreciate for its simple beauty. It is a subtle
expression of savoir faire that the new Meerson
impresses upon the wearer - as well as those
with an eye for style.
Shown here in yellow gold, Meerson’s 28mm
Palatine can present a bold evening look with a
full pave’ diamond dial, or play with light and
color with natural materials like Abalone and
mother-of- pearl as well as a variety of semi-
precious stones. Meerson’s trademark dauphine
hands use an eccentric longitudinal peak to
reflect light and make it easy to make note of the
time (it is still a wristwatch after all) while simul-
taneously highlighting another detail that the
designer/owner has instilled in his work.
Shown here are several examples of the
“double-tour” twice-wrapped leather straps.
Meerson offers a wide variety of colors, leathers
and finishes with stitching that can be custom-
ized to match or contrast with each strap, ending
at the case in a three-tiered jalousie of gold or
steel. Prices start at $12,000. Available at
www.meerson.com as of May 2020.
