Timepieces, Boucheron Haute Joaillerie watches

Crazy Flamingo, Crazy Seahorse, Crazy Hathi

I’m just hating on everything today! Got these photos from Boucheron a while back but have been too lazy to deal with them. Boucheron’s jewellery watches have always been on the flamboyant side- colourful, bold and imaginative. The brand is also very good at using animals as its inspiration- also evident in its collaboration with Vertu mobile phones. Its unique way of ‘mounting’ various jewels depicting animals or foliage around the bezel and on crystal sapphire is also interesting.

However, the mish-mash of bright colours seem tacky to me. And the depiction of the creatures feels a bit too lowbrow. Anyway, here they are, the Crazy Flamingo, Crazy Seahorse and the tackiest of them all the Crazy Hathi (the elephant one).
