Dubey & Schaldenbrand Cœur Blanc Mechanical Hand-wound Tourbillon Watch
First the heart, the beating force of life. Then white, symbol of delicacy and purity. Next the diamonds, because they are eternal. Individually baguette-cut, these precious stones combine to form a unique composition around the tourbillon, one of watchmaking's most demanding complications. Their beauty is exalted by an invisible setting, a meticulous technique that requires rare skill. Thus the diamonds seem to float on the dial, as though nothing holds them there but their own power of seduction. They capture the light, illuminate the bezel with their sparkle, embrace the caseband, form one with the attachments, twinkle like stars on the crown, and come to a dazzling conclusion on the buckle of the strap.
