Our favourite pieces from the Gem Dior collection

When Victoire de Castellane, artistic director of Dior Joaillerie, was thinking of a name for the new watch and jewellery collection, she took inspiration from the eponymous high jewellery collection launched two years ago.

This time, however, Gem Dior welcomes seven watches into the fold. Each features an irregular, octagonal shape, colour-coordinated jewels such as malachite, lapis lazuli and carnelian and a beautiful asymmetrical bracelet. “This spirit of this collection is modern. It’s a style that I would describe as abstract-organic, an organised disruption that turned out to be a true technical challenge for our ateliers,” de Castellane shares.

We highlight five of our favourites from the collection on these pages.

GEM DIOR DIAMOND
Fully dressed in diamonds, this quartz design has a white gold dial with diamonds and polished dauphine hands.
GEM DIOR LAZULI
The lapis lazuli dial comes in a stainless steel case that features a bezel set with diamonds and a yellow gold insert.
GEM DIOR PINK GOLD
The mother-of-pearl dial complements the pink gold case and bracelet. The dauphine hands are also made from pink gold.
GEM DIOR STEEL
Simple yet stunning, this steel model stands out with its black lacquered mother-of-pearl dial and the black PVD insert on the stainless steel bracelet.
GEM DIOR YELLOW GOLD
While the steel model is understated, the yellow gold variant demands to be seen with its onyx dial and bright yellow gold case featuring an onyx insert.
