Colliding Contours

Today, the word avant-garde is often used to describe things that don't really fit it. We no longer understand it in its true sense, but as a kind of rhetorical flourish, like the humid air in an elevator hall.

But this Omega is truly avant-garde.
The case, which connects seamlessly to the bracelet, has an air of industrial design that is somewhat outdated, yet still manages to create an elegant oval shape.
The diamond-covered dial is framed in an octagonal shape, and the bar hands float on it. The contrast with the case and bracelet draws our attention.

The watch's allure is layered with contrasts: rigid yet supple, elegant yet distorted, futuristic yet funerary, all of which are precisely what diamonds make us feel. The inclusion of this most exquisite gemstone makes this watch a masterpiece.

In other words, the large diamonds on the watch create a watch that blurs the lines of the conflicting impressions that clash. In a sense, the diamonds are like the aldehydes in Chanel No. 5.

Its elusive charm changes every time you look at it. In other words, this watch is truly feminine.
