It’s a demanding technique that requires patience, precision and dexterity. The gesture must be perfectly mastered, with just the right balance of power and restraint, to achieve a perfect setting. <\/p>\n

Because that’s what it’s all about: art in the truest sense of the word. The art of transcending technique to create a sparkling array of precious and semi-precious stones. There are several gem-setting techniques, including the traditional method, much appreciated in watchmaking. With infinite meticulousness, the gem-setter inserts the stone into a specially drilled hole or groove. He then manually folds back the metal that holds the precious gem in place. Over the last century, gem setters have demonstrated a formidable mastery that has enabled them to develop complex setting techniques. <\/p>\n

\"Hublot<\/p>\n

TUTTI FRUTTI<\/strong>
\nThanks to the incredible variety of colors offered by precious and semi-precious stones, gem-setting unleashes creativity. Hublot chooses the deep blue of sapphire to set fire to the steel of the Big Bang Tutti Frutti Dark Blue<\/g>. Its highlight: 48 baguette-cut sapphires conscientiously set around the bezel using the so-called “traditional” technique. <\/small><\/p>\n

Particularly difficult to achieve, the invisible setting reveals the beauty of the stone without any metal interfering with its brilliance. To achieve this, the gems are cut with a groove to receive the metal mount, which disappears completely once the setting is complete. <\/p>\n

\"Corum<\/p>\n

FASCINATING COLOR GRADES<\/strong>
\nSeductive and precious, the Miss Golden Bridge<\/a> plays with the chromatic palette of pink. A procession of seven shades of sapphires and baguette diamonds dress the case and dial in a bewitching gradation. Its highlight: an invisible setting that forms a hypnotic cascade. <\/small><\/p>\n

Rock-setting also makes the metal perfectly invisible. This technique is only used on baguette-cut diamonds, whose special arrangement enhances their fire. <\/p>\n

\"Jaeger-LeCoultre-Master-Grande-Tradition-Tourbillon-Celeste-Q5073401\"<\/p>\n

HALO OF LIGHT<\/strong>
\nThe mysteries of the universe are revealed on the wrist with the Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon C\u00e9leste<\/a>. A sumptuous watchmaking extravaganza from Jaeger-LeCoultre, which has deployed a wealth of expertise to stage the orbital flying tourbillon on an ecstatic celestial vault. Its highlight: the absolute purity of the rock-setting, which encircles the watch with a crown of diamonds. <\/small><\/p>\n

Snow setting also requires perfectly mastered skills. A touch of boldness and creativity too. The precious gems are placed side by side, playing on their different diameters to completely cover the metal support. <\/p>\n

\"Breguet<\/p>\n

VOLUPT\u00c9 DE DIAMANTS<\/strong>
\nBreguet redraws the contours of elegance with the precious evanescence of frills adorning the Les Volants de la Reine<\/a> watch. Set with a myriad of diamonds, a bow reminiscent of Queen Marie-Antoinette’s toilette embraces a mother-of-pearl dial. Its strong point: the striking effect of movement created by the snow-set technique. <\/small><\/p>\n

From gradations to refined decorations, snow-set watches all shine with a special sparkle. Unique and visually stunning! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","blog_category":[480],"class_list":["post-179328","blog","type-blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","blog_category-technique-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSetting - The technique of wonder | Lionel Meylan<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/lionel-meylan.ch\/en\/actualite\/setting-the-technique-of-wonder\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Setting - The technique of wonder | Lionel Meylan\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"It’s a demanding technique that requires patience, precision and dexterity.
