For the first time, Dior Grand Soir enters the world of creative watch complications with an automatic movement, continuing in the bold spirit of the collection that debuted in 2012.
Nature always occupied a special place in Mr. Dior's heart.
That is why the designer dedicated a space in his Parisian apartment to his love of plants: a winter garden decorated with a large silk tapestry embroidered with branches, flowers and birds.
The Grand Soir Automate Jardin Rêvé collection celebrates his passion by reproducing the different elements of this fantastical place with wonder and refinement.
