Since 1947, the Dior Haute Couture studios of Avenue Montaigne houses the best workers able to achieve in only a few weeks the Couture challenges set for them by the Dior House.

Sewn together with knowledge, creativity and watchmaking requirements, Dior watches had to come into the world via the international watchmaking cradle in Switzerland, at la Chaux-de-fonds.

Created in the studios of Avenue Montaigne, developed by a team of watchmaking experts, Dior watches continues the logic of excellence of the Dior House.

The reliability of Dior watches is equally guaranteed by their dual compliance to the international technical standards and to the “Swiss Made” norms.

The Dior watches are available in three lines from distinct universes:
- La D de Dior, the story of a woman who decides to wear a man’s watch so that she is always thinking of him… created by Victoire de Castellane in the autumn of 2003.

- Chiffre Rouge, the rewriting of a watchmaking classic created in 2004. A unique and identifiable object, which combines the concern for technical performance with the formal vocabulary of Dior Homme.

- Dior Christal, a discreet tribute to Christian Dior since 2005, diverting the use of sapphire crystal, traditionally used for the watch glass, into a decorative element. It incarnates the sophistication of a watchmaker who conceives each of their watches like a couture piece.

About Handmade Cufflinks

July 6th, 2009

200907071-1
Cufflinks’ history can be dated back to the Middle Ages, though they weren’t really popular until the fashion for ruffled sleeve ends changed over to simpler styles. Perhaps one of the earliest acknowledgements of cufflinks as we know them was made as early as 1684 in the London Gazette, which wrote about a pair of cuff buttons beautifully set with diamonds.
Today, cufflinks, especially those handmade cufflinks have risen into fashion trends. You can find many handmade cufflinks in different shapes, such as the Star of David, and name cufflinks shaped as the individuals personal name. In addition, a beautiful adornment to cufflinks is precious stones, adding colorfulness and prestige to these wonderful pieces of jewelry.
A popular trend is to combine ancient stones in the design of the cufflinks. One of these is the amazing ancient Roman Glass. These sparkling pieces of authentic glass found mostly in the Judean desert, date back 2,000 years to the time of the Roman Empire. No two pieces of Roman Glass jewelry look exactly alike, making each of these handmade cufflinks truly one of a kind. Another ancient addition is the authentic Masada coin, dating back to that same period.
Handmade cufflinks both for man and women can always add a sophisticated look to one’s attire, it is no wonder that these handmade gold jewelry pieces are a significant part of many wardrobes today.
