With a ā€œsecretā€ watch, the challenge is to conceal a precision micro-mechanism, here Calibre 101, without altering the aesthetics of the timepiece. The 101 Secrets in platinum is the epitome of this principle. Hidden beneath its thousand diamond bracelet, the mother-of-pearl dial is revealed by means of an invisible button, also set with diamonds. Adorned with 1,024 diamonds all along the bracelet and the sides, this timepiece reveals exceptional jewellery creativity. In the Atelier des MĆ©tiers Rares, more than 182 hours are devoted to gem-setting alone, using two techniques: grain setting and griffe setting. The 101 Secrets creates a river of diamonds on the wrist.

DESIGN

THE SECRET TIME

In the 1930s, the epitome of discretion was the secret watch, a time when jewellery and cocktail aesthetics were highly sought after. Secret watches have remained fascinating over the decades due to their combination of watchmaking and jewellery craftsmanship. The 101 Secrets, builds on this tradition but offers a modern twist with its diamond riviĆØre bracelet, set with over 1,000 diamonds, and a concealed delicate dial.

THE ULTIMATE JEWELLERY EXPRESSION

HIGH JEWELLERY MEETS FINE WATCHMAKING

Elevating allure, this exquisite timepiece forms an unbroken river of light and sparkle that flows around the wrist, giving no hint of the timepiece concealed within it.. Moreover, the whiteness of platinum lights up the diamonds more than ever, creating a scintillating show as the light catches the watch from every angle.

MINIMISING CALIBRE TO MAXIMISE SPARKLES

98 COMPONENTS MINIATURISED

The Calibre 101 is known of its minuscule size despite its 98 components, measuring only 14 x 4.8 mm with a thickness of 3.4 mm (smaller than the tip of a pencil). The 41 components of the case have also been miniaturised so as not to compromise the design.

A FEAT OF HIDDEN MICRO-MECHANISM

For this specific timepiece, designing the secret elements of the watch added to the challenge. The mechanism that reveals the dial had to be so tiny that it could be completely hidden within the rows of diamonds ā€“ its position known only to the wearer.

MORE THAN 1ā€™000 DIAMONDS

Over 1ā€™000 diamonds (for over 26 carats) are precisely positioned using two different setting techniques: a double row of grain-set diamonds edged with two outer rows of griffe-set diamonds to create a perfect symmetry.
