Mother of Pearl for this summer

Watchmakers are having a field day developing models that will shine with their history, their technology and their aestheticism. Wouldn’t mother-of-pearl be the perfect material to adorn the case of a watch in summer? Coming from the inside of the shell of certain mollusks, mother-of-pearl is generally white, sometimes tinted in green or pink, its iridescent reflections reflect the light with magic, even if there are now synthetic materials that reproduce this calcareous material wonderfully. Mother of pearl has long been considered more feminine, because of its milky color, synonymous with motherhood, today the male wrists also wear it with ease. Whether it is during a sporty day or at the heart of a festive night, the watch with a mother-of-pearl dial will attract all eyes.

To ensure glamour for a night out, we’ll take the 28 mm women’s model in gold and steel and its dial with Roman numerals, date and set with delicate diamonds. Amazing specifications with a Tudor mechanical movement, caliber T201 and a water resistance up to 100 m, ideal model to live the long summer days and the shorter ones of the night.
