Epure Tourbillon Peacock Feather
Tourbillon watch in white diamonds and mother-of-pearl
160 years ago, a man was captivated by a peacock feather. His name was Frédéric Boucheron. With the help of his workshop’s master craftsman, he set to reproducing the delicate and ethereal beauty of the peacock feather. The Epure Tourbillon Plume de Paon watch is a wondrous display of the Maison’s savoir-faire. The miniature Plume de Paon sparkles and gracefully nestles in the watch’s precious dial. This solar creation radiates and chants the power and purity of Nature.
Les Moments B
Joyful Hours
In 1785, Rousseau, the watchmaker, invented a new kind of sundial featuring a canon topped by a magnifying glass that was placed in the sun’s path, in perfect alignment with the Parisian meridian. This instrument gave the exact time at 12 noon. The dial, at first located in the gardens of the Palais Royal, sent a daily reflection of sunlight into Frédéric Boucheron’s first boutique, situated under the arches of the gallery.
The base of the sundial bore the following inscription "Horas non numero nisi serenas" – “I count only the joyful hours”. Fascinated by this unique approach to time and to life, Frédéric Boucheron decided to adopt the motto as his own. The Maison’s first creations are inspired by this: Frédéric Boucheron wished to be the watchmaker of “Joyful Hours” and through this vision created watches that celebrate life’s special moments.
