Dôme
Watch in yellow gold and diamonds

Delaneau's new watch for 2003 departs from the extravaganza of the Capricieuse models in a clean, architectural piece that is just as stunning in its geometrical simplicity. The arch and the square recall the majestic severity of Romanesque architecture, softened by the polished curve of the gold case or ignited by diamonds. Plain forms hide the functional complexity of the patented case, in an original clasp and detachable bracelets.

• Delaneau's Dôme watch in yellow gold 18cts.
• Detachable bracelet/strap with patented clasp, attachment pins set with rubylsapphire cabochons.
• Mother-of-pearl dial with a spiral of Roman numerals.
• Quartz movement with centre-seconds/small seconds.

Delaneau loves to make watchcases that open and shut, or with clever clasps and bracelet attachments. In the Dôme watch, the arch is the clasp. Simply lift, and the arch divides to open the strap. As with virtually all Delaneau watches, you can click in a gold bracelet, a satin band or a palette of gorgeous leathers.
The model cornes in two sizes with cases in the three colours of gold, shaped for comfort on your wrist. Ruby or sapphire cabochons put points of colour on the attachment pins. Two different quartz movements give you a choice between centre-seconds, sweeping around the dial, or small seconds in a sub-dial.
The dials are in opalescent colours or in mother-of-pearl.
