Always enthralled with the world of couture, gowns, ruffles and lace, the House of Dior this year unveils a special series of 10 unique watches that recall the beauty of the universe. The new pieces, such as this Galaxie Pavo watch, emulate a galaxy of twinkling stars. The watch is powered by the Dior Inverse caliber, which showcases the automatic oscillating weight of the watch dial-side. There, the brand can adorn the rotor with anything from feathers to gemstones. Since the rotor is always moving, the allure is magical. The 36mm gold Galaxie Pavo watch features a marquetry dial of pieces of Australian white opal in different hues. The white gold bezel is meticulously set with round-cut diamonds in a snow setting. The gold caseback features an engraving of the Pavo (peacock) constellation with inset round-cut diamonds. The watch houses the automatic Dior Inverse 11-1/2' caliber with 42 hours of power reserve. In total, the watch is set with 422 diamonds weighing 2.42 carats.
