Envol Bleu - Taos
Power reserve: 72 h, 28800 vph
Combining the pure vision and exceptional talents of renowned Genevan dial maker Atelier Olivier Vaucher with the insightful passion of watchmaker Olivier Gaud, TAOS is born, unveiling a novel concept in watchmaking : Watches combining multiple exceptional artistic crafts, each a unique masterpiece crafted in the Geneva workshop, to create extraordinary dials that spring to life through intricately decorated mechanical movements.
Each watch is one-of-a-kind, each dial a work of art. The culmination of years of experience, patience and creativity amassed by the more than 40 artisan-craftspeople at Atelier Olivier Vaucher.
Envol bleu features on its dial engraved feathers over 3 layers covered in enamel. In the centre, a flower-like silver-leaf paillon encircled with diamonds surrounded by hand engraved feathers after enameling. Multiple layers, firings, details, and micro- engravings amplify the blooming of a delicate rosace pattern. It took over 200 hours to the Atelier Olivier Vaucher to realise this unique and exceptional dial.
The self-winding Automatic double-barrel winding shown in parallel VOP318, developed exclusively by Télôs (La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland) for TAOS is entirely hand engraved by the engravers of the Atelier Vaucher and required around 100 hours of work for this movement.
