exquisitely crafted luxury swiss watch release

"This year's release from Backes & Strauss is as incredible as we would expect, from a brand that puts diamonds at the heart of everything it does. The Empress Rose is exquisitely crafted and set with 608 diamonds, weighting in at a staggering 30.02 carats. As always, the royal connection is respected, and two magnificent pear-shaped diamonds, weighting over a carat each, sit grandly at 12 and 6 o'clock, symbolising the legendary love between Queen Victoria and Prince Albert."

"When Backes & Strauss released the incredible Royal Berkeley Emperor Tourbillon, it marked a significant meeting between diamond and horological expertise. The 1,080 diamonds which adorn it have been rigorously selected by the company, while the hand-winding skeleton tourbillon movement was handcrafted by Franck Muller."
