TimeForArt Auction Spotlight: Gerald Charles x Igor Mitoraj Luci di Nara
Epure Vague de Lumière
The unique Boucheron Epure Vague de Lumiere was created for Only Watch's 2015 charity auction. The wave featured on the dial is a three-dimensional sculpture in white gold that stands away from the sea represented by aventurine glass. Inspired by the artist Hokusai, the hollow carving is paved with both round and baguette diamonds using marquetry to create the shimmering wave as it unfolds onto aventurine glass.
The 41 mm white gold case features Double Gadroons and Cabochons – signatures of Maison Boucheron, and is engraved "Piece Unique 1/1" on the exhibition caseback. Timekeeping is provided by the automatic caliber GP400 manufactured by Girard Perregaux. To complement the dark blue glass background, the watch is fitted on a blue alligator strap. To be sold on 7 November 2015, the funds raised during the Only Watch 2015 auction will benefit research for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
