02: DIOR
From the lily of the valley that he tucked into the hems of dresses in a 1947 collection, to his English-style family garden, it’s clear that the late Christian Dior loved flowers. His passion has inspired countless creations by his eponymous brand, one of the latest being the Grand Soir Botanic collection of timepieces. Each unique watch in the eight-piece collection is decorated with precious stones forming a lush tableau of flowers and leaves. The model shown here features a white gold case with snow-set diamonds – and a dial of sapphires, emeralds and rubies.
