Graff orchestrates a fascinating encounter between Haute Horlogerie and Haute Joaillerie with its new creation: the Diamond MasterGraff Grand Date Dual Time Tourbillon. The result of more than 2,000 hours of development, its mechanical movement associates a flying tourbillon with a dual-time display and a large instantaneous date that jumps at exactly midnight. While the exclusive calibre reveals the beauty of its gear wheels through the sapphire crystal, the case and dial exalt the jewellery-making expertise of the House through a dazzling setting of 329 diamonds totalling 13.7 carats. Set against a backdrop of rose or white gold, the precious stones exercise their timeless powers of fascination and sparkle with radiant fire on a dial also lit up by an emerald at noon, as well as forming the emblematic Graff signature on the dial: an invisibly-set mosaic crafted using an exclusive technique resulting from a full year’s research.

Baselworld is coming! Corum Golden Bridge Dragon & Phoenix

Corum has let its creativity run free and orchestrated an encounter between two of the most fascinating creatures in Chinese mythology: the dragon, symbol of life and strength, and the phoenix, bearer of good omens.

Joined together by the legendary baguette movement that is exclusive to Corum, these mythical beasts bring the promise of prosperity. Hand-sculpted from gold, they come to life through meticulous engraving; a single piece takes three weeks to complete.

This Golden Bridge Dragon & Phoenix is a lesson in mechanical virtuosity too, as revealed by the linear architecture of the CO113 calibre whose vertical axis is prolonged by the crown at 6 o’clock to further highlight its exceptional construction.

The movement is enclosed inside the transparency of a tonneau case with crystal, back and sides all in sapphire, so that the eye can embrace both dragon and phoenix in their three dimensions.
