Full-Cataloguing
In the infamous One Thousand and One Nights collection, Shéhérazade told the Persian king tales after tales for one thousand and one nights, which eventually made the kind fall for her beauty and intelligence. Inspired by the poetic and arabesque sceneries and dreams of the Orient, Boucheron created 'Tourbillon Shéhérazade' that evokes the opulence of ancient Persian jewels. The gemstones on the dial were arranged like a mosaic formed of subtly-changing colours, like drops of water on the surface of a mother-of-pearl basin.
