While the new Miss Audrey Sweet Art watch from Bovet 1822 is enchanting to look at thanks to its elaborate diamond-set case, it is the colorful dial that is truly innovative - it is the world's first dial to be made of sugar crystals. Over two years of research and development, Bovet's master artisans were able to perfect and patent a process for coloring sugar crystals while also ensuring they can withstand temperature fluctuations, humidity and more. Mouthwateringly magnificent, the sugary-sweet dials are extremely time-consuming to make. The sugar crystals have to be prepared in such a way as to preserve their molecular structure forever, so they don't change when on the dial. The sugar dials come in an array of colors and even in two-tone styles. Making the watch even more appealing, if that's possible, is the fact that the case is convertible from wrist watch to pocket watch to table clock.
