Founded nearly 400 years ago, Robert & Fils 1630, currently headed by Gilles Robert – representing the 11th generation of watchmakers – presents an astonishing 100% Swiss Made “archaemodern” creation. A fusion between past and present imbued from tradition, modernity, beauty and balance. Based on vintage “Robert” manual-winding movements from the 1960s and 1970s, this line is entirely restored with a pink or white gold case delicately set with diamonds. Remade the old-fashioned way in the pure traditional style of women’s watches from the 1930 and 1940s – combined with a highly original and intricately crafted “lace” leather strap adorned with diamond-set jewellery inlays – this exclusive 20-piece edition comprises 10 watches in pink gold set with 123 diamonds and 10 in white gold set with 187 diamonds.
