Promenade Plissé - Rose
Description
Inspired by textiles, the Plissé dial is the result of a complex stamping process that gives the impression of fabric being pushed aside by the weight of the sub-dial to bunch up into pleats across the dial. This creates an intriguing play of light and shade and the illusion of flowing, dance-like movement across the dial as the wearer moves his or her wrist. The new stamping technique was developed in partnership with Czapek’s regular collaborator, Metalem. An added challenge in developing the Plissé dial was to integrate the applied indexes within the contours of the pleats. Plissé is presented in three colours: Ivory, Pearl White and Rose, the latter equipped with a Milanese mesh steel bracelet. Production of each colour will be limited to 18 pieces.
Allowing the decoration to take centre stage, the timekeeping indications are pared back to a minimum: fine, semi-skeletonised arrow-shaped hands and applied indexes with diamond-cut angles to reflect the light.
