Sparkling diamond watches shot and filmed by photographer Lucy Sparks and Felix Bischof. Get up close to bejewelled timepieces by Patek Philippe, Dior, Hublot, Van Cleef & Arpels and Chanel
Diamond watches now: a group of modern diamond watches balances tradition and modernity. At Chanel, two heritage symbols – a star, the moon – sparkle bright and the nightsky also inspires Van Cleef & Arpels. At Patek Philippe, diamonds are set in a swirling formation. A new Hublot watch frames diamonds in the brand’s own alloy, King Gold. And at Dior, Victoire de Castellane drew from Monsieur Dior’s haute couture atelier and the master designer’s art of arranging fabric swatches. The result? A diamond watch with many angles and facets. Or what about pink and white? An Audemars Piguet Royal Oak matches diamonds with sapphires. Photographer Lucy Sparks gets up close to new diamond watches.
