With three nominations for the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (2018, 2020 and 2023), Beauregard makes its mark as the only independent watch brand for women.
Next week, the brand will unveil this exquisite new piece in white gold in Dubai on the occasion of the watch week.
Beauregard's Lili collection is a bold affirmation of the brand’s hallmark: peerless aesthetics and technique at play with unusual stones, rich in color and fashioned in unusual volumes. Each piece is unparalleled, a testament to supreme craftsmanship. And at the heart of each piece, the irreplaceable touch of the human hand, the ultimate instrument of creativity.
Alexandre Beauregard goes beyond proposing a timepiece; he invites you into an expansive universe where the lapidary's mastery meets Swiss watchmaking par excellence. An enchanting and poetic composition evocative of tangy sweetness – an aesthetic language drawn from the realms of art, design, and fashion.
His creations meld watchmaking and jewelry, precision and preciousness, where unexpected hues and bold volumes bring the watch face to life. Each watch whispers directly to the heart, awakening the senses to the essence of the stones — sight, touch, and even the tantalizing sweetness evoked by the playfully named Lili Candy.
White gold with palladium for pure, brilliant, radiant whiteness.
With this creation, Beauregard momentarily steps away from the floral to lead us into a world of sweetness and color. Petals give to a dazzling swirl of amethysts and topazes, carnelians, opals and garnets, meticulously nestled in a circle of diamonds. The result is a luscious, bewilderingly lifelike confection that marries indulgence with sophistication.
The Lili Candy White Gold case is crafted from a noble metal within the platinum group, blending white gold with Palladium 500 for an immaculate, enduring, and untarnished luster. This alloy is not only harder and more durable but also displays its innate radiance without the need for rhodium plating.
Eschewing the common practice of rhodium coating, Beauregard stands firm in its pursuit of authenticity. Alexandre Beauregard equates the application of rhodium on gold to 'painting a diamond' – a deliberate stance that underscores the significance of material integrity in the creation of exquisite timepieces.
A sweet horological treat
The dial is a work of art, expressing the joy of creativity in bringing gemstones to evoke candy. Each gemstone is meticulously chosen for its vibrant color, exceptional quality, and radiant brilliance. The deep violet of amethyst, the serene blue of topaz, the warm red of carnelian, and the intense orange of garnet converge in a harmony of hues. Yellow and white opals contribute iridescent flashes and a soft luminescence that animates the dial with life.
This ensemble of jewels imparts unparalleled depth and radiance to the timepiece. Encrusted with 70 diamonds on the dial and complemented by 80 more on the bezel, with an additional 16 adorning the case, the watch sparkles with 166 VVS-grade diamonds.
The strap of the Lili Candy White Gold, fashioned from sumptuous natural satin and meticulously hand-stitched in Geneva, combines elegance with versatility. Three quick-release points, including the buckle, allow the bracelet to be changed in seconds, without the need for any tools, to suit different moods or occasions.
The Lili Candy White Gold measures 33mm in diameter and is 9.65 millimeters thick. Its hands and buckle, crafted from 18-carat white gold, add to its exquisite allure. Eschewing the conventional crown, this distinctly feminine watch features a high-jewelry ETA movement. The time is set via a corrector discreetly positioned on the case back to maintain the fluid and graceful aesthetic of the piece.
