Patek Philippe

Speaking of Rare Handcrafts in Patek Philippe, normally you would picture their signature enamelled pocket watches or wristwatches. For dome clocks, it would be those crafted with cloisonné enamel paintings. The current clock however, presents a different perspective of what the Rare Handcrafts collection could be.

Showcasing exceptional artisanship, the clock is made in collaboration with Baccarat, the finest crystal glassmaker in France. Inspired by chandeliers made by the French firm, the amber-coloured crystals were cut differently to fit onto the case - beveled diamond-cut for the body and rosettes for the dome and dial centre. Each clock requires up to 40 hours of engraving work from a recipient of the title "Meilleur Ouvrier de France" representing the finest French craftsmen.

Whilst both Patek Philippe and Baccarat have the reputation to manufacture the best products in the industry, the partnership made the collection even rarer. As dome table clocks are quintessential Patek Philippe timepieces, this provides a great opportunity for clock aficionados and collectors to acquire one of the best Rare Handcrafts ever made.
