Nowadays watches are more than mere time-givers, they can also be a luxurious piece of jewellery and most of all, a day-to-day accessory. A watch can say a lot about its wearer – feminine, elegant or sporty, the object can give a subtle insight into the lifestyle and taste of the lady carrying it around her wrist. In order to bring together the above styles and aiming to please women who enjoy both quality timepieces and a touch of sparkle, Ateliers deMonaco presents the Ronde de Monte-Carlo.
When it comes diamonds, precious stones and noble materials, women and watchmakers carry the same passion. Ateliers deMonaco have created this collection to celebrate this shared fascination for luxury without sacrificing practicality, enabling ladies to find a watch to fit one’s lifestyle.
The Ronde de Monte-Carlo was born in Monaco, the utmost symbol of nobility. Monte-Carlo being the most well-known and prestigious part of Monaco, hundreds of special events such as the Grand prix de Monaco, the Rally de Monte-Carlo or the Ballet de Monte-Carlo are hosted there each year. Inspired by this opulent neighbourhood, Ateliers deMonaco decided to gift its refined ladies’ collection with the Monte-Carlo name.
Elegant and stylish with its round and harmonious case, the Ronde de Monte-Carlo is a classical yet modern timepiece. Although very distinctive and feminine, the design safeguards Ateliers deMonaco’s identity, turning the watch into a timeless treasure.
The stunning model carries an in-house movement with 26 jewels and a hand-graved 22 carats gold rotor and a silicium escape wheel. The bridges are carefully decorated by hand by the manufacture’s skilful watchmakers. The sapphire case-back enables the finesse and sophistication of the movement’s details to be admired. The 18 carats rose or white gold case is brushed, polished, assembled by hand and carries 300 diamonds offering an everlasting shine. Finally, the mother-of-pearl on the dial stands as a token of the brand’s love for grace and exquisite details.
The Ronde de Monte-Carlo’s sophisticated outlook is enhanced by a hand-stitched alligator leather strap adorned by a 18k rose gold or white gold folding buckle.
This emblematic line from the manufacture welcomes five newcomers to the range, offering an option to suit any wishes. Should one be looking for a classical timepiece, the white mother-of-pearl dial model fitted in a rose or white gold case would make an ideal companion for any occasion. Otherwise, for a sporty-chic feel, one should try the blue mother-of-pearl timepiece, a lovely homage to the appealing waters boarding the French Riviera. Finally, should one prefer an elegant yet sparkling watch, then the Ronde de Monte-Carlo set with its 617 diamonds, would make the perfect match.
