Delaneau - Night Parakeet pièce unique

November 2016

Delaneau presents its latest creation, the DeLaneau Night Parakeet pièce unique, which celebrates our key signature, the art of Grand Feu enamelling.

Delaneau - Night Parakeet pièce unique

The parakeet symbolises a journey due to its ability to travel to the celestial world. When a parakeet appears in our dreams, it means that we desire freedom and want to travel to faraway lands. Inspired by the paintings of Jacques Barraband, Delaneau’s parakeet in the twilight is the voice of the soul.

This pièce unique features a Grand Feu enamelled miniature painting with gold paillons. The dial is decorated with a hand-engraved plique-à-jour enamel ring with silver paillons. A 42 mm red gold case set with 185 diamonds houses a “Time to dream” automatic movement. This watch also has a diamond-set crown and an alligator strap with a red gold deploying buckle set with 24 diamonds.
