Goldsmith creates one-of-a-kind watches

Schlegel & Plana are famous in Switzerland and throughout the world for the exceptional beauty and quality of their jewellery creations. They have now acquired a similar reputation in the highly competitive sector of precious watches. Little by little, they have entered the ranks of the most famous names in "de luxe" models. Their SP model is already assimilated on many markets, especially in the Middle East, where it has come to represent a type of jewellery richly decorated with brilliant-cut diamonds and gemstones. The watch is often the centre and provides a pretext for breathless feats of goldsmithry. Some of these unique pieces are illustrated here. as splendid and harmonious as anything made by the greatest masters of our times. Each one is not only a beautiful ornament but serves to highlight any collection devoted to contemporary art.
