The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2019 - Issue 26

bite watches In the same vein, the dial of certain models is divided into two superimposed elements which open up infinite creative possibilities that Fabergé is only just beginning to explore. The watch has an 18 karat white gold 36 mm case, domed sapphire crystal, and case back with anti-reflective treatment on both sides of the face and one side of the back. The dial is twin-disk and has a coloured lacquered bot- tom plate, matt lacquered top plate, and a la- ser-etched hour circle in several colours. It has a self-winding 3000 calibre, a power reserve of 50 metres, and a water resistance of 30 metres. The strap is available in a choice of alligator or rubber with an 18 karat white gold Fabergé pin buckle. For gentlemen, there are two types of Vi- sionnaire timepieces - Chronograph and DTZ. The collection expresses masculine prowess with bold and multi-faceted designs that illustrate the gran- deur of Fabergé’s historic lega- cy. The Visionnaire timepieces represent a bold move in new directions, harnessing the power of technology and innovation to create wonderment. With two different dial fac- es and a self-winding 6361 calibre, the deci- sion is which timepiece would look the part on your wrist? Visionnaire Chronograph in Black Ceramic has a black ceramic and dark grey DLC treated titanium case, a domed sapphire crystal, and an anti-reflective treatment laser-cut Fabergé Constellation Egg on the sapphire case back. It also features a dark grey DLC treat- ed titanium rubber crown and pushers. While the Rose Gold has an 18 karat rose gold and ti- tanium case, an 18 karat rose gold and rubber crown and pushers, as well as the usual domed sapphire crystal and case back features. Both models have the dial in black or opaline with TC1 luminescent coating, 15-minute in- dicators, numeral and hour markers applied on sapphire with metallic treatment and dial side rotor with opaline decoration treated with black rhodium or rhodium. The central chronograph is black rhodium or opaline with applied silver or grey indicators. The strap is available in alligator, while the buckle is a black and dark grey DLC treated titanium or an 18 karat rose gold and titanium folding clasp. Visionnaire DTZ Brown & 18K Rose Gold and 18K White Gold and Sapphire have a 43 mm case in an 18 karat gold and titanium or an 18 karat white gold and black treated tita- nium. Both have the usual domed sapphire crystal and a case back with single-sided an- ti-reflective treatment. The first model features an opaline dial while the second has a dark grey dial, both with TC1 luminescent coating, 15-minute indicators, sapphire with metallic treatment, and applied numeral and hour in- dicators. Extremely fascinating is the Dalliance collec- tion which perfectly illustrates the adaptable nature of the brand’s craftsmanship. It em- ploys both traditional techniques; gemstone carving, and pioneering techniques, with the micro-saturation of platinum on sapphire and mother-of-pearl. Lady Libertine II and Lady Libertine Green Emerald & Diamond have a 36 mm case in white gold or rose gold with domed sapphire crystal and case back with anti-reflective treatment gem-set bezel with 46 brilliant-cut diamonds Lady Libertine II has snow-set 569 bril- liant-cut diamonds with emerald cabochon, emerald rosace decoration hand-carved and 90 brilliant-cut diamonds dial while Lady Lib- ertine Green Emerald & Diamond has snow- set 578 emeralds, hand-carved emerald, and 18 brilliant-cut diamonds dial. These time- pieces are complete with an alligator strap with an 18 karat white gold or rose gold Fabergé pin buckle. Both have a power reserve of 50 hours and water resistance of 10 metres. With a 36 mm case in an 18 karat rose gold, Lady Levity 18 Karat Rose Gold with Pig Sur- prise and 18 Karat Rose Gold both have a hand-wound 6911 calibre and domed sapphire crystal and case back with anti-reflective treat- ment with the addition of an 18 karat rose gold crown in the first model. The dial features are the same in both apart from a few descriptive differences and are complete with an 18 karat rose gold Fabergé pin buckle with the choice of an alligator strap in the second model.
