Century - Promesse, an ode to happiness

April 2014


Promesse, a very special new watch from Century that offers a virtuoso celebration of life’s most precious moments.

This is a truly exceptional timepiece offering surprises at every instant. Its name? Promesse. The promise of spring, sunshine, a new day ahead; an ode to happiness and authenticity repeated every second as it hugs the wrist. Promesse is the exceptional new timepiece from Century, part of the Master Imperial collection dedicated to the House’s prestigious creations.

Century - Promesse, an ode to happiness

An extraordinary and unique piece, Promesse seduces at first sight with its innovative design. Once again, the master craftsmen at Century have brought to life a totally new face, using one of the most advanced jewellery techniques: the snow setting.

Nestled right next to one another, the different diamond cuts create a subtle and sophisticated effect. Individually selected, the sparkling stones appear to have been placed randomly, evoking the floral swirls of the hand-engraved dial, like the most precious dewdrops. Surrounding the bezel, this display recalls the wonder we feel before an immaculate carpet of snow pierced by the first blooms. Whatever the evocation, the design procures a sense of instant and natural freshness, like that felt at dawn on a day that promises to be special.

Complex yet perfectly pure, Promesse dazzles with the 64 translucent facets of the Century sapphire in a palladium hue. Cut and polished entirely by hand, they perform a veritable symphony of light, their radiant effect accentuated by the delicate curve of the case in 18 ct. white gold. Mounted on an elegant alligator strap, it reinvents the rules of supreme luxury through the prism of elegance and extreme femininity.
