For the upcoming Baselworld 2011, Badollet, the century-old watch company, launches a stunningly gorgeous diamond watch – the Crystalball Bamboo White Diamond. The timepiece perfectly showcases the brand’s value of aspiring simplicity and aiming to be the exceptional. Let’s take a look at it.
The timepiece features a rectangular 18K white gold case which will naturally attract attention when one looks at it. The lines of the case are straight and pure with 52 baguette-cut diamonds framing its rectangular bezel. The dial is safely protected and exquisitely revealed by the sapphire crystal face. It is an openworked 18K white gold dial with inlaid mother-of-pearl. The crown is positioned at 3 o’clock of the case and is made of 18K white gold two.
The timepiece does not showcase many functions as it is looking for presenting a simplicity beauty. There is no date window. Only two leaf-shaped hands are elegantly previewed, with one indicating the hour and the other the minute respectively. While it is aspiring for simplicity, it also looks for ways to showcase its finest watch-making craftsmanship. The flying tourbillon in display in the dial is one fine example. As one could see that, the openworking of the mainplate and bridges are delicately presented in the openworked dial under the two hands. The design is inspired by the Asian bamboo scaffolding to reveal the brand’s finest craftsmanship.
The timepiece is powered by the mechanical hand-wound Calibre BAD5600 movement. With a power reserve ability of 120 hours, this movement is decorated by 19 jewels to further add a sense of gorgeousness for the watch.
Finishing off the gorgeousness of the watch is its matt or glossy hand-sewn bracelet or strap made of alligator leather. An 18k white gold folding clasp is designed on the bracelet or strap to secure both the beauty and safety of the bracelet or strap.
