Magically Sweet Fairy: The New Miss Audrey Sweet Fairy ONLY WATCH from BOVET 1822

The Miss Audrey Sweet Fairy ONLY WATCH uses a completely new material and a new process to produce a dial that has never been seen before in watchmaking.

One made from pure sugar

Symbolizing sweetness and purity, the dial of the Miss Audrey Sweet Fairy ONLY WATCH represents a breakthrough in engineering innovation, materials, and miniature painting – all hallmarks of the House of BOVET.

Born in the mind and heart of Mr. Pascal Raffy, the owner of the House of BOVET for 20 years this year, the Miss Audrey Sweet Fairy ONLY WATCH takes pure sugar and transforms it – all with the goal of capturing the sweetness of love and the purity of a child’s spirit.
For ONLY WATCH, BOVET has used this new technique with miniature painting to produce a lovely, magical Fairy, pairing métiers d’art with a child-like innocence.
 

Producing the Fairy Dial

The process of producing this dial is extraordinarily complex. First, in the center of the dial is a hand-painted fairy, filled with Super-LumiNova. After the miniature-painting process, the dial is covered with a protective lacquer, securing the art for eternity.

Then, the pure sugar crystals are prepared so their structure will not change when exposed to light or heat (no, the sugar crystals will not melt). The sweet crystals are chosen for size, then combined with a special environmentally-friendly orange paint – matching the theme color of this year’s ONLY WATCH, and carefully hand-applied to the outside of the dial, which has already been coated with orange Super-LumiNova -- by one of BOVET’s miniature painting artisans. This demanding process, protected by a patent, leaves no room for error. One misstep and the entire process has to start again.

The result is an intriguing mix of texture and sparkle, unlike any other dial ever produced in the long history of watchmaking.

The special hands on the dial of the Sweet Art ONLY WATCH are a lovely, romantic touch. Uniquely shaped, they form a beautiful heart once every hour, as the minute hand catches up to the hour hand, reminding the wearer of all the loved ones in her life.
