From November the horologer Rodolphe will be teaming up with Valmont, the anti-ageing cosmetics brand, to produce a series of exclusive watches in a meeting of two flagship Swiss luxury labels.

"I Love Valmont" watch from Rodolphe and Valmont

Called “I Love Valmont”, the watch brings together two groups that have developed their expertise in different domains, but who share the same values and aspirations.

“Valmont and Rodolphe are niche brands, guarantors of high-quality know-how resting on extreme precision, “Swiss Made” goods drawing on rare and precious primary materials,” explained Didier Guillon, president of Valmont.

The designer for Rodolphe pointed out that, “the first quality of design is the marriage of innovation and purity.”

To seal this partnership, the watchmaker has chosen the “Instinct Basic” watch. Very feminine, the model is simple but the curved steel is inset with 164 diamonds. The watch is decked out with hand-painted numerals and has a backdrop in pink and white as well a white alligator skin strap.

“I Love Valmont” will be available from November in advance premier at the Spa by Valmont in Hong Kong and the Les Airelles hotel for a price of €9,500.
