FANTASEA

 

- World's First Oyster Shell Watch - Swiss Design Patent No. 137 718 

A maritime 'secret watch' inspired from the depths of the southern ocean, the FANTASEA concealed within the mysterious, protective cocoon of a seashell is a functional pearl oyster bracelet watch that opens to whisper time. The watch case is designed as a closed clam-shell with an innovative pusher-crown which gently opens to reveal time. The inner shell is perfectly inlaid with seamless nacre (mother of pearl) whereas the outer shell is unevenly sandblasted to give a natural finish identical to a south-sea oyster. The outer rim is gem-set with matching sapphires highlighting the contours of a clam. The timepiece is protected by a soft curved sapphire glass signifying the pearl’s growth as time goes by. The pearl bracelet is set with natural white, champagne South Sea or Tahitian black pearls and its custom ‘8’ shape bracelet links to visually enhance the pearls. 

An epitome of VOILA’s creativity in watchmaking, the FANTASEA is an inspiration for numerous legacy brands.
