Dior expands its Grand Bal collection with four new creations that continue the line’s dialogue between couture and watchmaking. At the centre is the collection’s signature front-mounted oscillating weight, decorated with mother-of-pearl and diamonds.

The Dior Grand Bal Muguet, offered in pink and grey, draws on the pleats of Dior’s 1954 Muguet line and Monsieur Dior’s lucky flower. Sculpted mother-of-pearl, a mother-of-pearl bezel ring and a diamond-set sunburst dial carry the reference through.

Dior Grand Bal Muguet Fleuri pushes the floral idea further, with openworked mother-of-pearl set with diamonds and stones to echo the embroidery of Monsieur Dior’s dresses. The white version combines blue sapphires, emeralds and amethysts, while the pink introduces pink sapphires and tsavorite garnets.

The two designs are limited to 58 and 38 numbered pieces respectively, a final nod to the founder’s lucky number eight.
