The Masterpiece 1 – Ref. 30002915

The new watch line reinterprets the style of one of Damiani’s most successful jewelry collections, Belle Époque, which was inspired by the vibrant artistic, cultural, and social life in Europe at the dawn of the 20th century. A period of great ferment and innovation in every field — from the economy to scientific progress and from art to physics — the Belle Époque also revived a carefree joie de vivre in people. It was the heyday of Paris, the cradle of new social trends and the home of the Moulin Rouge and the French Cancan, Haute Couture, and Maxim’s. It was also the time of the modern Olympics, the Universal Expo, the first airplane and the Orient Express, the telephone, photography, Art Nouveau, and the cinema. This last art inspired the Belle Époque collection, a “precious” celebration of film.

With its perfect balance of volumes and shapes, the design of the New Belle Époque collection enhances the chromatic effect of pairing diamonds with rubies or sapphires set on a white gold case with a white moiré silk strap.

The case has a unique detail that lets you personalize your watch: a special diamond-studded external mobile ring with a large ruby or sapphire. By rotating the bezel and positioning the precious gem, you can indicate your “own” time, remember a deadline, or mark an important moment in the day.

This exclusive detail, just like the hands only a millimeter wide decorated with 12 diamonds, reveals the passion and experience required to produce this exclusive watch collection that also includes two masterpieces with precious baguette diamonds.
