Subverting watchmaking rules and created from a new vision of roundness, the collection’s double convex silhouette strikes the perfect balance between line and volume. A blue sapphire cabochon is set within the seamlessly integrated winding crown, creating the appearance of a floating blue balloon, or Ballon Bleu. The crown cap sits under a metal hoop at three o’clock, protecting the blue bubble and avoiding any breaking of the line.

The silvered guilloche dial provides an elegant backdrop for the collection’s signature blued-steel sword-shaped hands and Roman numeral hour markers. A self-winding mechanical movement ensures power and precision, while an interchangeable steel bracelet delivers comfort and sophistication on the wrist.
