Story

« What I like the most in a timepiece is the aesthetic, the allure, the curves. I imagined my personalization with a technical look embodied by a skeleton movement that would add an intense touch. ». M. T.A
The very essence of our craft is to convey emotions and memories through the customization of a client’s timepiece. A few months ago, an enthusiastic collector, passionate about designs, materials and colors, contacted us to craft a very special project for him. This would be inspired by the Pearl project, a previous personalization based on the Nautilus® 5711 model. The project was a pure stylistic exercise: to skeletonize our client’s caliber based on a unique color and material combination: rose gold, blue and anthracite gray . We agreed upon a powerful and timeless design and named it «The Honey Pearl».

Development
& Innovation

« It was important for me to go beyond a color combination with a whole new dimension through the blend of materials, colors and curves to create a perfect harmony. » M. T.A
Our client defined a color scheme and materials for a perfect balance. He chose blue for the dial combined with the rose case and bracelet contrasted by a slight touch of red. The harmony blends wonderfully with the graphic lines of the skeleton movement.

The Making

We called upon a variety of craftsmen to achieve a result that exceeded our client’s expectations. Each part of the 26-330 SC movement was painstakingly cut, satin-finished and delicately beveled by hand. The original gold rotor was also finely skeletonized and beveled by hand with a circular satin-finish. With our client, we decided to keep the original elegant blend of the satin-brush and mirror-polish finish.
