AVENTURINE IN WATCHMAKING__ You couldn’t miss this kind of deep blue, sparkling dial. These beauties are possible thanks to the aventurine stone. It’s a variety of quartz characterised by sparkling inclusions of mica or haematite, which create a glittering effect known as aventurescence. With hues ranging from deep green to sky blue, with golden and silvery nuances, this stone offers incomparable depth and sparkle.

Mainly used by watchmakers to sublimate a dial, aventurine gives an impression of depth and sophistication. Many watchmakers have turned to the use of this stone.

Among them, Van Cleefs and Arpels, Piaget, Cartier and Bovet are examples of excellence. It captures and reflects light in a unique way, making each watch dazzle from every angle.

Associated with good luck and prosperity, aventurine adds a symbolic dimension to each watch, but incorporating it requires exceptional expertise.

Watchmakers must select, cut and polish each stone with extreme precision to ensure that it blends perfectly with the overall design of the watch while preserving its aesthetic qualities.

With this stone, each watch becomes much more than an instrument for measuring time. It is transformed into sparkling jewels, celebrating the perfect union between nature and the art of watchmaking.
