Boucheron

Carré

The Boucheron Carré comes from one of France's oldest jewellery houses, which turned its attention to watches in the middle of the twentieth century. Its square gold case is built up in steps and kept remarkably slim, so it slips under a cuff rather than catching on it. Inside runs a high-grade manual-winding movement, finished to the standard the jeweller's clients expected. Collectors value it for a Parisian line stricter than the Swiss round watch, and for how seldom dedicated timepieces from the house come to market.
