PHILÉMON & BAUCIS

The story of Philemon and Baucis comes from Greek mythology: as a reward for their generosity and kindness, the gods granted their wish never to be separated. At their death, they were changed into an intertwined pair of trees, one oak and one linden. In homage to this tender myth, the bracelet of this secret watch is made up of linden leaf motifs on one side and oak leaf motifs on the other, set with diamonds. The plants appear to cling to two rings, which support a dome of emeralds in Traditional Mystery Set.

The dome can be raised to reveal a dial paved with diamonds. Ribbons of baguette sapphires wrap themselves around the composition like ties – their luminosity embellishing two pear-shaped emeralds, perfectly matched for both color and cut.
