男錶女戴
「我的靈感來自於兒時的記憶：1970年，男人戴著鑲嵌寶石的黃金錶款，然而我卻用一個女性化的方式詮釋這樣的錶款；想像著一個女人向她心愛的男人借來這只錶戴在自己身上。」— Victoire de Castellane。Dior 珠寶創意總監 維克多・卡斯特蘭（Victoire de Castellance） 於2003年發表了首款腕錶－La D de Dior。設計靈感啟發自男錶女戴，以中性的38mm錶面大小，大膽突破過往女錶的小巧尺寸。La D de Dior 多年來挑戰創新，推出多樣化材質、顏色與尺寸，從最初的38mm錶面逐步發展成如今的19mm迷你錶面，到今年全新創作La Mini D de Dior Mosaïque的馬賽克編織錶帶，唯有在面盤設計上保留經典風貌，僅有時與分兩個指針，沒有繁複的時標與計時功能。Victoire de Castellane結合了高級珠寶繽紛璀璨的寶石與高級訂製服的精湛工藝，將代表品牌DNA的籐格紋以馬賽克藝術表現。Dior與創立於1864年且專精製作緞帶織物的法國工坊合作，從最初的純手工絲線染色開始，到六種顏色相異的絲線於梭織機上交織出籐格紋圖案，最後再將完成的緞帶縫合皮革內裏，一條10多公分的錶帶需耗費總計220公尺長的絲線方能完成，其細膩精湛的工藝可見一班。腕錶搭配粉黃色、粉紅色及粉綠色三種粉嫩色系珍珠母貝錶盤與鑲嵌鑽石的錶圈與錶冠，在 Victoire de Castellane 饒富詩意而童心未泯的奇妙世界中映照完美的時計創作。值得一提的是，此腕錶首度應用可自行替換錶帶的系統，另附有黑色緞面錶帶，可隨心情變換。
A Men’s Watch on a Woman
“My inspiration originated from my childhood memories: in 1970, men were wearing the gold watches with inlaid diamond; however, I use a feminist approach to interpret the watches; imagine that a woman is wearing the watch that is borrowed from her beloved man,” said Victoire de Castellane. Dior’s Jewelry Design Director Victoire de Castellane, who first launched the watch she designed in 2003- La D de Dior. The design is inspired by the men’s watch on women. It has a neutral size of 38 mm diameter, which has boldly broken the limitation on petite women’s watch. Over the years of challenges for innovation, La D de Dior has launched various kinds of materials, colors, and sizes; from the initially launched size of 38 mm diameter to the current mini size of 19 mm diameter; and, this year’s brand-new creation, La Mini D de Dior Mosaïque with a mosaic knitted strap remains the classic features on the watch dial plate, only the hour and minute marks, there’re no other functions like time marks or timing. Victoire de Castellane has integrated the colorful and dazzling diamonds of high jewelry with excellent techniques in luxurious custom-made costumes. She presents the brand’s DNA signature cannage by mosaic art. Dior is working with the French Workshop, which was established in 1864 and it’s renowned for producing knitted satin. Starting from the most initial process, handmade dyed silk thread to machine-weaving the silk thread in 6 different colors for the cannage-patterned ribbon, until sewing the finished ribbon on the inner of leather. The production of a strap a little longer than 10 cm needs a total of 220 meters of silk thread, it’s the evidence showing how exquisite the craft is. The wrist strap goes with the three pastel types, pastel yellow, pastel pink, and pastel green colored dial plate made of the mother-of-pearl shell and diamond bezel and crown. In Victoire de Castellane’s world filled with poetic atmosphere and childlike disposition, the wonder world is the reflection of the wonderful timepieces. What’s more, the wristwatch has first applied the self-service strap replacement system, and there’s a black satin strap available for changing with different moods.

Galloping Giant Horse
The Galop d’HERMS is designed by Ini Archibong. He got inspired when observing details of the collections in the Emile HERMS Museum. The mouthpiece, stirrup, saddle, rein, …etc. The designer got his inspiration from the horse gear collection, each piece of collections, and each masterpiece, he captured the clever techniques, master craftsman’s techniques, precisive measurements, as well as state-of-art and innovative senses. At the same time, making curves that meet aerodynamics factors and practical functions with a simple design, the work shows smooth dynamic images. Galop d’HERMS is a result of light exploration, light reflection and self-examination, as well as day and night; the outline of the timepiece changes with time. The sharp edge of the wristwatch has disappeared, the things that left in the design are the smooth curves, perfect ergonomics design for barrier-free visual images. The light reflection through the curvy lines makes the metal look warmer and the style becomes more vivid and lively. The curve glass highlights the beauty of the dial plate. When looking at the hour hand marking 8 o’clock, the infinite symbol will transform into a reverse stirrup. Ini Archibong has designed the numbers on a progressive scale in size. The number at the center bottom is the number in the largest size, then, the sizes of numbers getting smaller, the higher, the smaller, to create an aerial perspective. The edge outlines focus on the perfect flow. The last naughty and fun spotlight falls on the crown at the position of 6 o’clock to create a balanced effect in the overall design. The timepiece has integrated the calm and firm power with the exquisite and flexible practice, a so-called art of Galloping Giant Horse.
