Boucheron Carrée Plate – A Timeless Expression of Parisian Elegance
We are thrilled to present the Boucheron Carrée Plate, a masterpiece from the 1970s that encapsulates the artistry and sophistication of the renowned French jewelry house. This extraordinary timepiece reflects Boucheron’s ability to merge the worlds of haute joaillerie and horology, offering a watch that is as much a jewel as it is a timekeeper.
Dial and Case: Iconic and Understated Extravagance
The Carrée Plate features a golden dial adorned with an iconic Clous de Paris pattern, a design echoed on the bezel of its 18K yellow gold case. This seamless repetition creates a cohesive and dynamic aesthetic, exemplifying the meticulous attention to detail for which Boucheron is celebrated. Minimalistic and luxurious, the dial focuses on texture and proportion rather than ornate complications, making it both extravagant and subtly under-the-radar.
The case is well-proportioned and elegant, embodying the bold spirit of the 1980s while maintaining a timeless quality. Crisp and clear French hallmarks, along with the Boucheron Paris signature and serial number, affirm its authenticity and impeccable craftsmanship.
Movement: Elegance Meets Functionality
Inside the Carrée Plate beats the manually-wound Calibre Boucheron 1220, designed to keep the case slim and comfortable on the wrist. Recently serviced and signed by Boucheron, this movement ensures that the watch is not only a work of art but also a precise and reliable timekeeper.
