For the first time, the oscillating weight of a Dior watch is embellished with a delicate weave of silk threads, made on a lace bobbin by a&nbsp; lady lace-maker from Le Puy, the cradle of French lace-making since the 16th century. With a spot-on touch of magnificence, the Dior VIII Grand Bal \u201cFil de Soie\u201d combines all of Dior\u2019s expertise and savoir-faire: creativity and virtuoso jewelry. Illuminated by the meticulous setting of the diamond embroidery, the work on the delicate silk thread of one and a half meters is woven in three staggered stages. This made-to-measure technique was developed by the Dior ateliers so that the traditional art of lace-making could be adapted to watchmaking.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>With audacity but without emphasis, its oscillating weight appears on the reverse side of the dial; set with diamonds, feathers and hard stones, the timepiece takes on the allure of abstract works of art, to forever evoke the turning of a ball gown&#8230; Between a nod and a wink at corsetry, the Op art spirit and the lace\u2019s allusions to gossamer, this delicate composition is available in a sea green or tender pink. This brilliant equilibrium, with its pink gold bezel, enchants the eye like a magical night that exalts the soul. The sensual and hypnotic dance of the movement, the meticulously studied volumes&#8230; with each movement of the wrist, the soul of Dior is fully expressed, in this game of hide-and-seek between the thread and the diamonds.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the \u201cLittle Dictionary of Fashion\u201d, Christian Dior defined silk as \u201cthe Queen of all the materials, the loveliest, the most feminine, the most enchanting, with all the qualities Nature gives to things that we cannot make ourselves.
