The prestigious Swiss jeweller Louis Golay has recently presented its Pearls of Time collection which demonstrates a perfect combination of its signature square pearls and luxury watchmaking. Designed in extreme elegancy and refinement, the Pearls of Time wonderfully interprets the ultimate temptation enhanced by a beautiful gem-set timepiece.

The pearl has been the crucial role in the Louis Golay’s profound heritage since the company’s founding in 1887. Louis-Auguste Golay, the founder of company, was known as the first jewellery merchant who introduced cultured pearls to the European market. In February 2009, the company was relaunched. Since the company’s renewal, the Golay Group represents the world’s largest pearl network with trading centres worldwide dealing in a comprehensive range of cultured pearls and pearl jewellery.

As with the new watch, it is totally glamorous. I have never thought that the pearl can be such a perfect fit for a luxury watch. Delicately set into the watch’s case bezel and dial, cultured pearls blend graciously with white gold and a constellation of diamonds. Pearls have been the central to the watches created by Louis Golay, no matter how rare the white gold is, and how scintillating diamonds are.

Through the Pearls of Time, the company expects to testify to its deep-felt attachment to pearls, while reinventing their ornamental vocation. The new watches are not only traditional – in that they feature a gem that has been greatly sought after since ancient times, the pearl – but also both contemporary and innovative due to their characteristic creative audacity. An amazing fusion like this can be only produced by Louis Golay with its exclusive technique of pearl marquetry work.
