Tourbillon watch in white gold, baguette, emeralds and diamonds
The most fascinating stories of Greek mythology feed on his wonderful tale. Son of Poseidon, Pégase the winged horse is a hero of many high deeds. Zeus, the King of Gods, will transform the proud and spirited Pégase into a constellation and place him in the heavens of eternity. The Maison Boucheron pays tribute to this mythical horse. Enshrouded with light, time seems like suspended.
More detailIn 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.
