Prestige Watches Guide July-August 2016

 

Paris 1947. Christian Dior crystallizes the dreams of elegance and femininity of thousands of women. The well-proportioned silhouettes of his first fashion show, called New Look by the American press, revolutionized the world of fashion and redefined the essence of femininity in a spirit of creativity that hasn’t ceased since to animate the House. Paris 1975. Dior continues his revolution by imagining his own watches. As for making pleats of a skirt, the realization of a Dior watch meets the same accuracy and demands the same love of perfection.
