The Haute Minute

This haute couture creation is an homage to the 19th century tradition of “secret” watches.

This haute couture creation is an homage to the 19th century tradition of “secret” watches. Approximately 28.9 carats of brilliant, flame and princess cut diamonds adorn what appears to be a dainty white gold bracelet. However, beneath a paved cover the hours and minutes are revealed on a dial entirely paved with a glittering bed of brilliant-cut diamonds. A crown on the back of the movement, designed after the historical Vacheron Constantin baguette movement, controls the hand-wound Caliber 1005 mechanical heart. $735,000
