WATCHES
Fabergé launches
new Dalliance
timepiece
Fabergé has unveiled The Dalliance
GemAddict – the latest of Fabergé’s
bespoke timepiece designs.
The
Dalliance
collection
features a
mechanical
movement
unique to
Fabergé that sees the hands of the
watch travel around the edge rather
than the centre of the Grand Feu
enamel face, creating a space where
other watches place mechanics. The
brand says the design allows for a
centrepiece of a one carat gemstone.
The Dalliance timepiece gemstone
is a one carat diamond however the
new design also allows the customer
to choose their gemstone thanks to
the brands link with Gemfields, the
suppliers of responsibly sourced
gemstones, with Mozambican rubies
and Zambian emeralds also available.
Aurélie Picaud, timepieces director,
said: “The Dalliance GemAddict is a
jewellery watch for customers who
are looking to carry a piece of art,
beautifully executed with the highest
level of craftsmanship, on their wrist.
“Fabergé’s tradition of creativity,
ingenuity and surprise is expressed
throughout this timepiece – from the
state-of-the-art take on a traditional
mechanical movement to the Grand
Feu enamel, Gemfields rubies and
the space for the wearer’s unique
customised artwork. Fabergé has
always created bespoke gifts.
She added: “With Dalliance
GemAddict, we twinned that enduring
legacy with the dedication and craft of
the finest Swiss watchmakers to create
this unique piece.”
The brand said the Dalliance
GemAddict was inspired by a Fabergé
clock made over 100 years ago which
was recently rediscovered in the
company’s archives.
