This ravishingly beautiful convertible watch is named ‘Miss Audrey 'ELA' from Mr. Raffy’. Made as a unique piece especially to support the work of ELA, the dial is decorated in yellow and grey with the ELA logo, while the caseback is engraved ‘ELA 2026’. From any ‘pièce unique’, one expects a watch that is somehow extraordinary, and this superb timepiece, with its stunning diamond-set case, lives up to this expectation and much more. Its bow and bezel are set with 103 round-cut diamonds, totalling 0.99 carats, lending exceptional brilliance to the case. Bovet’s ingenious ‘Amadeo’ style convertible case allows the watch to be worn either as a wristwatch, a pendant watch or used as a table clock. Showcasing brilliant three-dimensional aesthetics and exceptional craftsmanship, rarely does a watch of such glittering beauty combine so seamlessly with watchmaking excellence of the highest level.
Bovet was originally founded in 1822 and was famed for its luxury pocket watches with artistic flair. The brand has stayed true to Bovet's original aesthetics and pocket-watch heritage whilst incorporating modern design and materials. Owned since 2001 by Pascal Raffy, Bovet’s verticalized manufacture has allowed the company to create its watches in-house and to develop the exciting and innovative timepieces that perpetuate the excellence of the Bovet name.
