In its latest creation, the Lady Marie-Olga Jewelry Timepiece, Charriol has put under the spotlight one of the passions of Marie-Olga Charriol, who is the wife of its founder and a distinguished rider. The timepiece, according to the press release, is described as exploring the “links between equestrian and watchmaking arts, which are stamped with the same strong and timeless values.” In the timepiece, which is named after the founder’s wife, femininity, sophistication, and personality are combined to reflect the gestures of the rider on her horse.The case has a distinct oval shape, which is a combination of roundness and asymmetry and gives the timepiece a soft and feminine look and feel while showcasing its masterful technical aspects.  Large Arabic numerals with striking volutes on its dial are positioned on a mother-of-pearl background while two hands display the passage of time. A unique horseshoe element is used to extend the case with its asymmetrical lugs and attach it to the strap, and it once again showcases the equestrian elements that have been used in the creation of the watch. The jewelry timepiece features a case set with 89 diamonds, a white mother-of-pearl dial with 10 diamonds, and a clasp with 59 diamonds. The simpler editions created with yellow or pink gold plating are suitable for daily wear. Onboard the watch is a Swiss ETA quartz movement, while the bracelet strap is made from 16 steel cables that are finely twisted and each has a diameter of 1 mm.Click on the slideshow to check the timepiece.http://www.blouinartinfo.comFounder: Louise Blouin  Read more
