'A ball gown must be the one of your dreams, and must also make you a dream-like creature,' said Christian Dior.
The Dior Grand Bal collection conjures the twirling of a ball gown, to the rhythm of the Dior Inversé caliber and its functional oscillating weight positioned on the front of the dial.
Like the structured satin, faille and taffeta fabrics that grace the sumptuous party dresses in Dior's couture workshops, the Dior Grand Bal collection is adorned with golden thread, mesh, silk, feathers and stones, as well as scarab beetle wings. Technical watchmaking innovation is now at the service of femininity. Refined materials and a kaleidoscope of colors recall the magical balls that were so dear to Mr. Dior, inviting the wearer to glide onto the dance floor.
