The new Miss Audrey Sweet Art watch from BOVET 1822 uses a completely new material and a new process to create a dial that has never been seen before in watchmaking.
Representing sweetness and purity, the sugar crystals covering the dial of the Miss Audrey Sweet Art represents a breakthrough in engineering innovation, materials, and miniature painting – all hallmarks of the House of BOVET.
Its eye-catching dial captures the sweetness of love and the purity of a child’s carefree desire for confections The process of producing this dial is extraordinarily complex. First, the pure sugar crystals are prepared so their structure will not change when exposed to light or heat. Then the sweet crystals are chosen for size, then combined with special paints and hand-applied to the dial by one of BOVET’s miniature painting artisans. This demanding process, protected by a patent, leaves no room for error.
Thanks to its artisanal and hand-made nature, each and every dial is in effect a piece unique. A variety of colors are available, including solid hues as well as gradients.
The result is an intriguing mix of texture and sparkle, unlike any other dial ever produced in the watchmaking industry.
Both whimsical and romantic, the uniquely shaped hands of the Sweet Art form a beautiful heart once every hour, as the minute hand catches up to the hour hand.
The Miss Audrey BOVET 1822 model was the winner of the Ladies’ Watch category of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève 2020.
The signature 36mm Fleurier Amadéo® convertible case is available in stainless steel hand-set with sparkling white diamonds. The unique and patented Amadéo® case can be transformed into a wristwatch, table clock, or pendant all without the use of any tool.
Powering the Miss Audrey Sweet Art is an automatic movement, which drives hour and minutes positioned at the centre of the sugar crystal dial. This movement has a power reserve of 42 hours.
