Swarovski unveils its first automatic watch for women at Baselworld 2016

Dubai, UAE, March 31, 2016:  On-trend, versatile and infused with a touch of glamour, Swarovski watches stylishly complete any look from day to night. For the first time within its women’s watch collection, Swarovski introduces an automatic piece, Crystalline Hours, proving that technology and precision can be interpreted in a feminine way. Created in collaboration with top watch designer Eric Giroud, the watch features a round face, and a curvy domed case containing approximately 4,000 tiny faceted crystals that sparkle with a turn of the wrist.

“When we started the design phase, we wondered how to feature as many crystals as possible within such a limited space, without compromising on the understated elegance of the watch. We came up with this idea to reverse proportions and elaborate a transparent case which would allow a front and back view of both the movement and the crystals. I love the idea that not everything get revealed at the first glance, it is more mysterious ” says Creative Director Nathalie Colin.

The signature sparkle is enhanced by simple and timeless lines, making the watch easy-to-wear on any occasion.

With a hint of 40’s watch inspiration, delicate and elegant, Crystalline Hours is a daring timepiece which can instantly upgrade a casual outfit or complement a luxurious evening one, making a bold fashion statement either way.
