Watchmaking is one of the fields that the tech savvy are constantly trying to upgrade. And they have a very high rate of success in doing so, considering the fact that there are only few companies left to produce watches that won't look like miniature spaceships or hyalin metallic structures.



One such company is Audemars Piguet, which, not only that likes to keep its products true to traditional manufacturing, but also uses a certain refinement when doing so that is not very common among watchmakers today. Probably its most impressive pieces are those that combine the “haute horologerie” with the “haute joillerie”, like in the case of the Carnet de Bal jewelry timepice.



The Carnet de Bal is an exquisite jewelry set from the Audemars Piguet Haute Joaillerie workshop. It is a timeless piece, indeed. The gorgeous watch is made in 18k white gold and the oval shape is adorned with diamonds. The dial looks so pretty with a floral motif engraved on white mother-of-pearl with diamond hour-markers.



The company has definitely reached its target, of letting people mesmerized when looking at it, and checking the time has never seemed so beautiful. The movement is the hand-wound AP caliber 2046 with 18 jewels, beating at 21,600 bph and with a power reserve of 42 hours.



The decoration of the parts is completely hand made and the "Cotes de Geneva" finish is fabulous. The strap is just as amazing as the dial. It is semi rigid, made from 18k white gold and has delicate floral elements. But the most eye-catching feature of the strap is the 481 brilliant, pear, marquise and baguette-cut diamonds (total weight of 59.5 carats). Words cannot describe how glamorous the effect is.



The choker is a classy piece of art too. It is made from 18kt white gold and is set with 1,039 brilliant, marquise, pear and baguette-cut diamonds (total weight of 86 carats).The Carnet de Bal is so lovely with the frosty shimmer, there is no way one can peel their eyes away from it. There's no price tag on this wonderful piece yet, but whatever that turns out to be, it will definitely make a large hole into your wallet.
