Audemars Piguet HAUTE JOAILLERIE DIAMOND FURY
Primal, powerful and provocative, meet Diamond Fury, a Haute Joaillerie masterpiece bristling with attitude and a rebellious spirit.
4,635 brilliant-cut diamonds in the case and bracelet, plus another 206 brilliant cut diamonds on the dial alone, compose this incredible timepiece.
It is simply a beauty with its sharp angular design and refusal to accept that ladies watches have to be reserved or demure.
Evolved from last year’s very well received 2015 Diamond Punk – a boxier and more geometric design of bracelet cuff watch, the first thing you notice about the Audemars Piguet Diamond Fury is the bold architectural edges. Its unruliness and multitude of protruding spikes are mesmerizing to look at, almost like a moving glacier, and the watch’s fluid design is reminiscent of a gem-studded, tightly curled reptile with armor.
It comes in 18K white gold case , at a streamlined 1.8mm thick, entirely set, glareproofed sapphire crystal, airtight. The Diamond Fury is for many women the black-tie statement piece they were looking for that actually kills two birds with one stone rather than forcibly and often awkwardly integrating both watch and bracelet into one “formal-wear” piece. If diamonds are a girl’s best friend, this one is sure to make the cut.
Its unusual design was no doubt much difficulty to make in terms of gem setting and bracelet mechanics, and as such, the brand claims to have upped the ante on the man-hours by 100 hours.
Diamond Fury is like a carapace of gems with a shield of brilliant-cut diamonds: a true Haute Joaillerie talisman. Audemars Piguet’s expert designers and jewellers have perfected the underside of Diamond Fury’s jewelled scales with the same care as its enigmatic outer shell.
4,635 brilliant-cut diamonds; ~25.60 carats (case, bracelet).
206 brilliant-cut diamonds; ~0.54 carats (dial) , in Mechanical excellence combined with quartz brings superior accuracy.
