'The ball gown must be the one of your dreams, and must also make you a dream-like creature,' said Christian Dior. This is why the Dior Grand Bal collection is reminiscent of the swirling of a ball gown, in time with the Dior Inversé movement and its functional oscillating weight 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 features golden thread, mesh, silk, feathers and stones, as well as scarab beetle wings. Technical watchmaking innovation is now at the service of elegance. Refined materials and a whirlwind of colors recall the magical balls that were so dear to Mr. Dior, inviting the wearer to glide onto the dance floor.
