Glorious Vacheron Constantin Diamond Watches

There are diamond-set watches, and then there are diamond-set watches.  For those who demand the absolute best and most rare in the world of haute joaillerie, one of the finest sources of such creations is Vacheron Constantin.  While greatly appreciated by connoisseurs for their extraordinary mechanical complications and the history as a great watchmaker, the house has also specialized in extraordinary creations of dazzling jewelry.  Having long served royal houses and the creme de la creme of society through its 250 year history, Vacheron Constantin can do no less.

Men and women both can enjoy these gem-set masterpieces.  The 45mm Kalla Duchesse Large watch is a tonneau-shaped watch fit for a king, and displays a white gold case and bracelet which literally disappear beneath a glittering carpet of masterfully set-baguette diamonds totaling 58.35 carats in all.  For women, the resplendent Lady Kalla watch is absolutely extraordinary; a similar Vacheron Constantin watch wasowned by Princess Diana. 

The heritage of these extraordinary diamond watches date back to 1979, when Vacheron Constantin created their incomparable jewelry watch masterpiece–the Kallista–which was hewn from a kilogram bar of gold, and set with 118 emerald-cut diamonds (each with their own certificate!) totaling approximately 130 carats.  With an estimated value of well over 9 million dollars, the heritage of this creation shines out in each jeweled Vacheron Constantin watch.�

Gerald Genta watches: A fantastic escape from “conventional” luxury

For those who feel that the watch world is a little drab, maybe a bit too serious and stuffy, the timepieces of Gerald Genta are surely a welcome antidote.  With their brilliant and provocative use of color, daring combinations of materials, and exquisite craftsmanship, each Gerald Genta watch–from their legendary retrogrades with jumping hours to an incomparable grande sonnerie–makes an unmistakable impression that is far off the beaten path.

The watches of the Gerald Genta Fantasy collection are some of the most whimsical on the planet, and for many, summarize just how much Gerald Genta has always pressed the edge of design.  Imagine—putting a Disney cartoon character on the dial of an exquisite and beautifully crafted high luxury watch!  Yet this is exactly what these watches do, sparking up the controversy even more with wild colors and fascinating retrograde functions–an eye-catching complication that is nearly synonymous with this boundary-pushing maker of luxury timepieces.�
