As an ode to art that transgresses the norm, Backes & Strauss is delighted to introduce two exceptional creations to its eponymous Piccadilly Renaissance Ballerina collection: The Ballerina Blue Velvet and The Ballerina Red Rose.

Beauty is the hallmark of a Master’s work. A ballet manifests unfaltering precision, accuracy and a synchronised coming together of hundreds of intricate components. Backes & Strauss has long considered ballet a supreme form of art that shares with watchmaking many synergies. Indeed, a Backes & Strauss timepiece is the fruit of hours of meticulous work by expert craftsmen. From the diamond polisher to the dedicated watchmaker, each Backes & Strauss timepiece delicately dances through the Masters’ skills.

Backes & Strauss adds exquisite vibrancy to the Piccadilly Renaissance Ballerina collection via a rich palette of coloured gemstones. Going from white, colourless diamonds to the intense blue sapphires of The Ballerina Blue Velvet and the fierce red rubies of The Ballerina Rose, these new timepieces boast a seamless crescendo of colour. This intense gradient dramatically culminates in the dial’s majestic allure, visually recreating the Dance of Time.

Like ballet, life is full of measured steps. With Backes & Strauss timepieces each precious moment is sure to be treasured.
