The French jewelry house Boucheron has recently presented its new collection of high-jewelry Boucheron Audacious Hera replica watches. While all members of the new family look gorgeous, the new Boucheron Audacious Hera Tourbillon is absolutely stunning.
In ancient Greece the bird was an official symbol of Hera — Zeus’s wife and the mother of Ares.
Powering the watch is the famous Three Golden Bridges automatic tourbillon movement made by the Swiss watchmaker Girard-Perregaux.
Built in white gold set with literally hundreds of Paraiba tourmalines, diamonds and sapphires weighing around 35 carats, the watch is created in such a way as to mimic the graceful shape of the peacock, the bird, which is known for its beautiful blue-green or green colored plumage.
This particular version of the movement has its baseplate decorated with two different shades of green tourmalines, the gems that Boucheron seems to like so much.
Patented in March 1884, re-launched as a reverse-engineered tribute edition in 1981 and finally becoming a commercially produced wrist watch movement in 1991, the movement is highly popular among watch collectors thanks to its sheer beauty and technical ingenuity.
