Regarded as a medium of refined expression, the art and watch worlds often collide to create masterpieces: from high-end to limited edition pieces, these luxury houses offer timepieces that seamlessly blend tradition and innovation, including revolutionary designs, made of extraordinary materials. Whether inspired by picturesque landscapes, exotic destinations, eclectic traditions, or celestial bodies, the dazzling rainbow-hued gemstones, diamonds, and bright tones come together to make a powerful statement. Bazaar India pays homage to the legacy craftsmanship of five watch brands—Breguet, Vacheron Constantin, Chopard, Montblanc, and Franck Muller.
MYSTICAL CHARM
Known for its high complications and exquisite watchmaking, Vacheron Constantin is one of the world’s oldest operating Swiss watch brands. Founded in 1755, the brand has incorporated grisaille technique, including green enamel creating the mythical five-clawed imperial dragon. Embedded with baguette-cut diamonds, the Les Cabinotiers Grisaille High Jewellery—Dragon remains a one-of-a-kind watch. This artistic watch is for women who love art and would like an impeccable detailed timepiece adorned on their wrist.
FLORAL FANTASY
A Swiss manufacturer, Breguet has been a luxury watch and clock powerhouse since 1775. Specially crafted for women, the Reine de Naples 8958 Cammea is a perfect combination of refinement with mechanical settings. Set in white gold with diamonds beneath the sapphire-crystal glass, a gold winding rotor engine-turned by hand, and inlaid with natural mother-of-pearl, Breguet makes the timepiece a perfect gift for any bride-to-be. Presented on a chocolate strap, Reine de Naples 8958 Cammea seems to be quite a delight.
ETHEREAL MEDLEY
Synonymous with craftsmanship, Chopard takes its legacy of state-of-the-art luxury a step ahead with its newly launched Imperiale watch, honouring modern-day women and their conquering femininity. What we love about the Imperiale is the floral motif against the blue sky that transitions between daytime and night-time making it a stable piece that you can style effortlessly from AM to PM. Bejewelled with sapphires, diamonds, and adorned with engraved gold lotus petals, this collection presents a surreal experience, making it a worthwhile investment for the admirers of craft.
ECLECTIC ALLURE
Founded in 1906, Montblanc is a German manufacturer of watches and other luxury goods. As a working woman, your calendar tends to fill up fast which is why it helps to have a statement accessory you can wear from casual outings to formal events. The 32mm stainless steel case of the Montblanc Tradition Automatic Date features a blue dial depicting the Mont Blanc topography while the diamond indexes stand out. This modern design with an interchangeable strap makes this exquisite piece of art a versatile wrist ornament.
INTO THE WILD
Uniting for the second time, prestigious watchmakers Franck Muller and self-taught French painter Hom Nguyen showcase a blend of craftsmanship and art in the limited-edition Crazy Hours Hom Nguyen. Combining the artist’s legendary pattern and the watchmaker’s exceptional skill, this wristpiece features bright-coloured eccentric numerals drawn by hand in the most unconventional order. This captivating masterpiece comes in different metals such as stainless steel, titanium, ceramic, and 18-carat rose gold, making it a quirky and bold accessory for any wrist.
