Mouawad’s $6.8m snow white princess diamond watch
Of most things that we have found the folks in the Middle East to have a weakness for, is diamonds, and products related to it. It’s no wonder that Mouawad chose this venue, and an event like the Doha Jewelry and Watch Exhibition (DJWE) to showcase their latest creation, the Snow White Princess Diamond Watch. Tagging along with a price of $6.8 million, this watch brings in 18K white gold frame, along with 233 colorless diamonds, putting it amongst the most expensive watches there are on the market. So much has been attention around the timepiece, that former Miss Universe Natalie Glebova, was present at the event to unveil it.
The Middle Eastern region for all the wealth they are known for, have many avenues to spend on, one of them being haute joaillerie especially diamonds. This ‘one-off’ ladies’ timepiece hits the right button on that count, by creating collectors’ item for the ladies, endowed with 233 colorless pieces of the precious stone, on an 18K white gold frame. With the craftsmanship experience of over 121 years behind them, Mouawad has taken great pains to create the ornamental chassis and wrist clasp of the exclusive watch. This was capsulated perfectly by Mr. Pascal Mouawad, who says
“Mouawad is renowned for creating one-off items that use only the world’s finest gemstones and precious metals. The Snow White Princess Diamond Watch is a unique timepiece that combines our passion for the highest quality gemstones with 121 years of experience in design and craftsmanship.”
This event wasn’t just around the watch alone. Several pieces of craftsmanship by Mouawad are also on display, which included the world record holding ‘1001 Nights’ diamonds purse - most expensive handbag in the world, and ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ diamond studded jewelry piece. Looks like the end of February will have plenty of billionaire visits to the region to collect these specimens of craftsmanship.
