Rive Blanche Collection from Swiss luxury watch brand Champs Élysées offers sensuous, femininely curved jewellery timepieces inspired from the beauty of Seine River that flows through Paris.
Like the undulating surface of the Seine, light shines and bursts into a myriad of sparks that caress the stones that adorn the case and dial of the Rive Blanche models. Dancing to the rhythm of the waves, the gems sparkle with delicate refinement. This is a jewellery piece that combines a French elegance with a beauty of restrained sobriety. The collection consists of steel models, 18 carats rose or yellow gold. The bracelets are available in various shades of alligator leather.
In order to preserve the harmony of its design, the time setting button is slightly placed on the case back, a hallmark of jewellery watches.
With white mother of pearl, the dial of the Rive Blanche Azur watch compliments the discrete stones that crimp the case. This Rive Blanche model is equipped with a blue mother of pearl dial, which expresses the wave reflections and echoes the 64 sapphires decorating the piece in shimmering waves. This blue dream is continued on Azur’s bracelet.
For the Rive Blanche Diamonds model, the purity of the queen of the stones is enhanced by the exquisite pearl dial and a white alligator strap. For the dial of the Rive Blanche Haute Joaillerie timepiece, a delicate pearl inlay has been skillfully handmade by craftsmen. A total of 413 round diamonds adorn the case and dial of this model, randomly crimped to perfectly evoke the foam of the waves. The chocolate colour bracelet blends harmoniously with the sweetness of rose gold.
