el mismo que viste y calza, uno de los relojes de dama más caros del mundo. De la muy prestigiosa casa relojera Vacheron Constantin
es este exactamente, el grande y "fully iced out diamond", osea el más caro de los cuatro existentes, dos pequeños, uno engarzado enteramente con diamante y su versión de pulsera de cuero,
y el que tiene Meli, el grande full diamond, y la version con cuero.
por lo que he visto, el precio anda entre 1.000.000 a 1.300.000
movimiento mecanico, como es de esperar de esta marca.
Casi 60 quilates en peso total de diamante, corte trapecio ( creo)

KALLA DUCHESSE HAUTE JOAILLERIE
A VIBRANTLY LUMINOUS MASTERPIECE
The Watch Quote™ - February 9th, 2006
1979: Vacheron Constantin caused a sensation by introducing a model destined to become a legend, Kallista. This quintessence of absolutes, embodying the perfect union between watchmaking and jewellery, remains unmatched to this day. The Geneva-based Manufacture now presents a worthy heir to this noble creation, the Kalla Duchesse Haute Joaillerie.
The history of jewellery-watches features certain milestones that in the recent past have turned the spotlight on horological and jewellery creativity. The birth of the Kallista remains the most spectacular such landmark event, since this one-of-a-kind record-holding work of art is recognised as the most expensive watch in the world (5 million dollars at the time, 11 million dollars today). Equipped with a mechanical hand-wound movement and set with 118 emerald-cut diamonds on a case sculpted from a solid gold block weighing over one kilo, the Kallista required more than 6,000 hours of work performed over a full 20 months by the world’s finest jewellers. Kallista, meaning “the most wonderful” in Greek, truly deserves its name.
The models composing the new Kalla Duchesse Haute Joaillerie line are entirely in keeping with this tradition binding Vacheron Constantin to the world of top-flight jewellery-making, and in an even broader sense to the “Métiers d’Art” cultivated by the Maison over many generations. Rather than restricting itself to a mere exercise in sophisticated gem-setting, the Manufacture wished to combine the purely horological spirit driving Vacheron Constantin since its founding, with the mastery it has developed in the most refined gem-cutting and setting techniques.
Each of the diamonds adorning the case – 162 (9 carats) or 182 (11.63 carats), according to its size – is dealt with exclusively using the techniques of skilled hand- craftsmanship. Once selected, each gem is individually cut to its assigned shape: baguette, square or trapeze. The distinctive accomplished on the Kalla Duchesse relates to the contours of its 18-carat white gold case forming a spherical tonneau shape, clothed in trapeze-cut diamonds. The horizontal radius, which is fullest at the case centre, dwindles progressively into the bracelet or strap.
The sophistication of this design implies adjusting the trapeze shape of each of the baguette-cut diamonds, before fitting them individually into their recess. This type of gem-setting, calling for extremely distinctive expertise, is known as the “inverted pyramid” technique. The patient work performed on the case magnificently reflects the splendid paving on the dial. Composed of an 18-carat white gold plaque, it is studded with 62 or 98 trapeze-cut diamonds, depending on the model, respectively totalling 5 or 6.7 carats.
The bracelet of the Kalla Duchesse enables the gem-setter to exercise his art according to another very special technique known as “Parisian mesh”. The latter ensures the bracelet moulds the wrist to perfection, while avoiding any potential gaps that might appear between the links along the profile, due to the rigidity of the supporting structure crafted from 18-carat white gold, and the diamonds. This refined technique enables the bracelet to flow seamlessly around the wrist.
To give life to this Haute Joaillerie masterpiece, Vacheron Constantin has fitted it with a Manufacture-made proprietary watchmaking heart entirely finished and decorated by hand, mechanical hand-wound VC Calibre 1400. It proudly bears the token of the strictest and most demanding standard applying to a mechanical movement, the Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, the Calibre 1400 driving the Kalla Duchesse Haute Joaillerie is housed within a diamond cage available in two sizes, on a bracelet set with either 380 or 560 diamonds. A leather strap in alligator mississipiensis is also available, complete with a white gold pin buckle paved with 13 or 27 diamonds.
The Kalla Duchesse large-size model is entirely paved with 876 diamonds totalling over 58 carats, while the small model is set with 617 diamonds totalling over 44 carats. A genuine masterpiece, the Kalla Duchesse Haute Joaillerie admirably sublimates the arts of jewellery and Haute Horlogerie, transcending them to enshrine a vibrantly luminous creation.
Lo que sucede es que con esa pechonalidad, y ese canalillo tan a la vista, el joyerío/relojerío se pierde un poquito de perspectiva...En Vacheron Constantin debieron taparla con un encajito, un tul, o mismamente una rebequita de croché de las que hacía mi abuela!!!

es lo que tiene ser "Nouveau riche", que pueden comprarlo todo menos estilo y clase.
invertir tanto dinero en ese reloj es tipico de ese grupo de ricos. Una mujer con clase no se pone un reloj así,
y si yo se de algo es de eso.
Clase o no clase, una mujer con dinero se compra el reloj que le da la gana porque le gusta y puede pagarlo. Desde cúando el reloj te da clase? O algo material? que pensamiento tan arcaico y rancio.
La clase es intangible, si tienes clase hasta en pijamas te ves bien .

Como no tienes ni idea de lo que hablo, ni me voy a molestar en explicartelo.
- "Menos es más."
- "La simplicidad es la clave de la verdadera elegancia."
- "No es la apariencia, es la esencia. No es el dinero, es la educación. No es la ropa, es la clase."
- “Adornos, ¡qué ciencia! Belleza, ¡qué arma! Modestia, ¡qué elegancia!”.
- “La simplicidad es la clave de la verdadera elegancia”.
- “Viste de forma vulgar y recordarán el vestido. Viste de forma elegante y recordarán a la mujer”.
- “Las mejores cosas de la vida son gratis. Las segundas mejores son muy, muy caras”.
- “Algunas personas piensan que el lujo es lo opuesto de la pobreza. No lo es. Es lo contrario de la vulgaridad”.
- “La diferencia entre una mujer elegante y otra que no lo es, es que la segunda se mira satisfecha al espejo , y luego sale, la mujer elegante, primero se mira al espejo, después se quita algo, y luego sale a la calle satisfecha...La elegancia es la simplicidad"
Miniglosario de mis frases favoritas de Coco Chanel, dedicadas a Melania.... Anda, Melis, léelas, reflexiona y aplícalas cuanto puedas...
Gracias-De nada!!
si, claro, no me expliques mas, se te nota la clase por encima.
Hay quienes venden detras de un mostrador y hay quienes compran en areas reservados para vips.. Nadie dijo que la vida era justa pero es lo que hay.

En otras ocasiones te lo he dicho y lo vuelvo a repetir, siento envidia sana del bonito trabajo que tienes, envuelto en felicidad y belleza.
Que interesante la historia del reloj, el diseño del brazalete es una obra de ingeniería. Cuando veo estas piezas al natural pienso en quien y en que circunstancias las llevarán, algunas hasta me las he probado, tengo una hermana que le encanta el mundo de la joyería y si vamos a Paris es fija la visita a la Place Vendôme, entramos a las joyerías como Pedro por su casa. Es muy divertido. En Bulgari nos han comentado que tienen clientes que cuando ven la publicidad de un objeto de alta joyería, lo quieren en exclusiva, que sea único, que no haya más personas que lo posean. Tengo muchas fotos que me han permitido tomar, las últimas son de la primera semana de Diciembre cuando estaban las tiendas en todo su esplendor de cara a Navidad.
