\nWhat is your favorite Faberg\u00e9 watch?<\/strong>
\nWithout hesitation, the Visionnaire DTZ in white gold<\/a><\/p>\n

Which feature do you find most captivating?<\/strong>
\nIts magnificent dial is made of the perfect balance between technique and highly finished components, particularly the hour markers applied on a sapphire crystal. The aesthetic of the dial has beautifully combined with the movement through the magnifying glass and the watch\u2019s sober and futuristic colors. I also appreciate a lot the high quality and refinement of its movement. It\u2019s unique.<\/p>\n

Did you collaborate on this watch at all?<\/strong>
\nYes, the entire dial. It was manufactured with love and passion by the Someco teams, based in Neuchatel area, in the heart of Swiss watchmaking country.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite Faberg\u00e9 watch?<\/strong>
\nThe new Faberg\u00e9 Visionnaire DTZ Gallivanter<\/a><\/p>\n

What drew you to this model in particular?<\/strong>
\nThe mix of a contemporary look with vintage colors and materials is very attracting on this piece and makes its face unique.<\/p>\n

What were some of the challenges in designing this watch?<\/strong>
\nAfter having already produced the first version of Visionnaire DTZ in 2016, the challenge this time was not about the technical anymore, but about the look and collection development. It was an interesting production process, since all the technical aspects of the production were mastered, we had more time to focus on the esthetic and design, try various colors and finally arrive at this beautiful model.<\/p>\n

\nWhat is your favorite Faberg\u00e9 watch?<\/strong>
\nMy favorite watch is Faberg\u00e9 Visionnaire I.<\/a><\/p>\n

What makes this watch distinctly Faberg\u00e9?<\/strong>
\nThe flying tourbillon movement from APRP (Renaud Papi) which has a strong identity with a very unique Faberg\u00e9 case; it\u2019s the first case from an iconic collection for Faberg\u00e9. The dial, with its elements, seems to open like a Faberg\u00e9 egg\u2026<\/p>\n

Did you collaborate on this watch at all?<\/strong>
\nYes, I partnered with Faberg\u00e9 for this watch. We produced the case. We have been working in the best way possible between Faberg\u00e9, technical project managers, and the Queloz team by considering all the technical requirements and translating them into the watch case. We are happy that we have been able to support Faberg\u00e9 for this development and to contribute to the production of as other models as well.<\/p>\n
