La D de Dior Buisson Couture

In 2023, Victoire de Castellane unveils the majestic Les Jardins de la Couture High Jewellery collection, marking the beginning of a new way of expressing nature with blossoming garlands of ‘couture bushes’ that evoke the artistry of intricately embroidered florals.

This acclaimed collection served as an inspiration for Dior Jewellery Creative Director Victoire de Castellane who further explored the garden topic, encapsulating it in a precious timepiece. This new creation is all about beauty, sensuality, emotion and softness, both echoing the world of Victoire de Castellane and of Monsieur Dior, fervent garden and flower lover.

This new la D de Dior reflects meticulous craftsmanship, with a discerning selection of stones chosen for their hue and shape to reproduce a luxuriant yet delicate garden. Each gem acts as a delicate petal, artfully placed on the dial, on the bezel, the crown and the case back.

The making of this creation is a true technical feat. Indeed, the ateliers managed to recreate an effect of volume and density thanks to the close settings between the various stones, which also guarantees that the metal stays invisible and does not harm the gems.

La D de Dior Buisson Couture is a lush bouquet of diamonds, pink sapphires of different shades and delicate tsavorite, with brilliant, pear, oval and marquise cuts, perfectly reproducing the natural effect of a luxuriant garden. Each ‘bush’ is distinguished by its harmonious colors, ranging from delicate green to soft and vivid pink, highlighted by the sparkle of white diamonds and the softness of pink gold.

Feat of beauty as much as feat of art, this stunning creation celebrates the art of gem-setting in all its details. Off centered, the time indication at 3 o’clock almost disappears with its gold hands delicately set by hands with diamonds. An additional detail of refinement completed by the gem-setting on the crown, case-back and buckle for a piece of art requiring 480 hours of work and more than 150 hours for the manual setting of the 1088 precious stone of its dial.
