The Star 33 mm is the type of watch capable of embodying both seductive appeal and horological excellence.

At once classic in terms of its understated shape and yet timeless through the elegance of its style, it now comes in a range of three models that assert themselves with self-evident force.

While the dimensions of its case are now well known and part of its name, the design of the Star 33 mm 2014 is strikingly pared-down and yet sparkles with its diamonds.
Three interpretations are now available: a model for daytime wear, another for the evening, as well as a gala watch.

The first has an understated white mother-of-pearl dial set with 12 brilliant-cut hour-markers and rimmed by an inner bezel ring adorned with 72 VVS diamonds of the same size (approx. 0.45 cts).

The second model, with a dial bearing just 12 diamonds serving as hour-markers, is distinguished by a bezel set with 104 brilliant-cut VVS diamonds (approx. 0.74 cts) along with a buckle set with 42 diamonds of the same quality and size (0.28 cts).

The third watch is a dazzling creation featuring a case, bezel, dial and pin buckle entirely set with 765 diamonds totalling 4.49 cts.

While these two-hand models water-resistant to 30 metres and measuring just 9.45 mm thick do not house any horological complications, they are driven by an Elite 681 ultra-thin automatic Manufacture movement beating at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and endowed with a minimum 50-hour power reserve. This high-precision mechanical piece whose oscillating weight is decorated with a Côtes de Genève motif – a signature of high-end movements – may be admired through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback.
