EuropaStar 2020 - The Queen of Hearts by Backes & Strauss
The brand introduces a new series of watches with some impressive craftsmanship.
The Backes & Strauss Queen of Hearts is a majesty of a bejewelled timepiece. The craftsmanship involved in making these pieces is not ordinary, with the diamond polisher carefully fashioning and cutting the 36 identical heart-shaped diamonds that are then set on the bezel.
The bezel then neatly fits into the slim Renaissance Case set with 188 ideal cut round brilliant diamonds. The dial made is in white mother-of-pearl set with 70 ideal cut round brilliants diamonds and 4 heart-shaped rubies to every quarter of the hour. The hand-engraved mechanical movement which is visible from the open case back has a power reserve of 36 hours.
