New Miss Audrey “Bris de Verre”

The new Miss Audrey, featuring its extraordinary “Bris de Verre” (shattered glass) dial is like an untouched field of freshly fallen snow, sparkling under the sun. The delicate brilliance, reminiscent of twinkling diamonds scattered across its surface, is further elevated by four pear-shaped sapphires as indices — vivid drops of color that bring a playful and joyful energy to the purity of its white tones. More than a timepiece, the Miss Audrey is a true jewel in more than one way, designed to bring light and elegance to every moment.

Creating the “Bris de Verre” dial is a labor of love, requiring between 15 and 20 hours of concentrated effort from BOVET’s master engravers. It begins with the careful etching of guiding lines — delineating the outer rim of the dial, the central hole, and the four pear-shaped holes for the sapphire indexes.

The true magic, however, lies in the next step: using a tool called an “onglette”, a steel chisel with a pointed tip, the engraver creates the tiny triangles by hand, using thousands of engraving movements. Each triangle must be uniform in size, depth, and angle to create the harmonious reflections that give the dial its brilliance. There is no precise template, no guide — only the engraver’s instinct and mastery lead the process.

This exceptional level of craftsmanship demands not only precision but also resilience. Over the course of crafting a single dial, the tool’s tip often dulls or breaks under the repeated pressure. Engravers must sharpen and re-hone their tools from five to 40 times per dial to maintain the consistency needed for perfection.

The result is breathtaking. The “Bris de Verre” pattern seems to dance with light, its brilliance highlighted by four colored sapphires. Positioned with their pointed ends facing the center, the sapphires act as gentle guides, leading the eye across the sparkling hand-carved triangles to the heart of the dial. There, the fire-blued stainless steel heart-shaped hands, enhanced with white Super-LumiNova, gracefully mark the time.

The Miss Audrey is a radiant jewel, encased in a 36mm stainless steel case set with 103 brilliant-cut diamonds that create the perfect frame for its breathtaking “Bris de Verre” dial. This shimmering masterpiece, resembling an artwork of sparkling facets, takes center stage, captivating with its elegance. Winner of the Ladies’ Watch category at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève 2020, the Miss Audrey has already charmed collectors around the globe, blending artistry and sophistication into a timeless creation.
