Dior - Dior Piece Unique collection
The timepieces in the Dior Piece Unique collection harmoniously combine Dior's vocabulary with the watchmaker's lexicon of oscillating weights, calibres, dials and precious straps. Like an ode to ultra-femininity and colour, they betray their secrets with subtlety and refinement. Equipped with an automatic Elite movement by the Zenith manufacture that is accommodated in a gold case decorated with a finely wrought dial and a baguette-set bezel, each one reveals a precious and intricate reverse side: mother-of-pearl oscillating weight, inlaid and set in harmony with the dial, and the back of the strap in pleated taffeta hand-sewn with the label "Christian Dior Paris".
The "Dior Piece Unique n°6" comes in shades of red from vermillion to carmine underlined by grey to recapture the shimmering effect of moire silk. The baguette rubies and spinels, selected and adjusted with great care, are edged with black mother-of-pearl from Tahiti, engraved and hemmed in diamonds.
The very elegant "Dior Piece Unique n°7" alternates the midnight blue of the sapphires and the icy blue of the engraved mother-of-pearl hemmed in diamonds.
The dial on the "Dior Piece Unique n°8", like a corolla composed of six petals superimposed with finely cut white mother-of-pearl and scattered with diamonds, exudes a discreet and diaphanous charm emphasized by the changing blue of its dial set with baguettes in five different shades of aquamarine.
The "Dior Piece Unique n°10" unfolds a pastel monochrome palette where baguette lilac amethysts underlined by diamonds and smoked quartz complement the pink mother-of-peal and agate dial, creating an elegant and powdery toned ensemble.
The "Dior Piece Unique n°11" radiates with green and yellow lights, in a swirl of jade and tsavorite garnets set with diamonds, sapphires and emeralds in echo of the dazzling yellow taffeta strap.
The "Dior Piece Unique n°12" recalls the flamboyancy of the colour combinations so dear to Dior with its turquoise dial set in concentric circles of white and fancy yellow diamonds and its bezel of baguette-cut pink sapphires contrasting with the black of the taffeta or alligator strap.
The "Dior Piece Unique n°13" offers a harmony of warm greens and blues - that of sapphires and emeralds - highlighted by white mother-of-pearl on the dial.
The "Dior Piece Unique n°14" joins fire with ice for its cognac mother-of-pearl dial scattered with smoked quartz and diamonds, its baguette-cut brown garnet bezel and its immaculate white taffeta strap.
The "Dior Piece Unique n°15" distils a tender and fresh harmony of green, pale pink and white. The dial in white, pink and green mother-of-pearl creates an ethereal floral pattern highlighted here and there by the pink of the sapphires and surrounded by a corolla of chromifere tourmalines.
