“I look at a rose and I am calm,” wrote passionate romantic Victor Hugo. I don’t wish to tread on the famous French author’s toes by drawing on this quote, but I must say that I am looking at a rose and I am spellbound. But this is not just any rose; look at the queen of flowers blossoming, unfurling her diamond petals and opening her flower bud. It is an embellished watch exuding poetry. An invisible mechanism in the upper part of the white gold case enables the rose to turn 45 degrees to reveal either 4 or 8 diamond-set petals (269 brilliant-cut diamonds totalling 2.5 carats) to suit your mood. Beneath the black lacquer dial lies a quartz movement made by Piaget which brings the hour and minute hands to life. Its small diameter (34mm) and embellished black satin buckle strap adds an extra touch of elegance to this glittering, magical rose. Price: 44’400 CHF
