The new Miss Audrey Sweet Art, uses an entirely new material and process to design a dial that has never been seen before in watchmaking; made from pure sugar. Representing sweetness and purity, the sugar crystals covering the dial of the Miss Audrey Sweet Art speaks to a breakthrough in engineering innovation, materials, and miniature painting – all hallmarks of the House of BOVET.

Born in the mind and heart of Mr. Pascal Raffy, the owner of the House of Bovet for over 20 years, the Miss Audrey Sweet Art takes this material and transforms it – all with the goal of capturing the sweetness of love and the purity of a child’s carefree desire for confections. Over the course of watchmaking history, watch dials have been made of a number of different materials, all designed to stand out from the crowd. Precious metals, enamel, miniature painting, guilloche, engraving, mother-of-pearl, aventurine, skeleton – you name it and BOVET 1822, with almost 200 years of history, has probably used it for its dials.

With its artisanal and hand-made nature, each and every Bovet dial is in effect an exceptional distinct piece with a variety of colors available from solid hues to gradients. The special hands of the dial of the Sweet Art are a whimsical, romantic touch. Specially shaped, they form a beautiful heart once every hour, as the minute hand meets with the hour hand, reminding the wearers of the loved ones in their lives.
