Beaubleu has announced the launch of a new limited-edition watch collection titled 'La Pièce,' created in collaboration with the Monnaie de Paris. This partnership marks the first time in the institution’s twelve-century history that it has applied its striking expertise to the field of watchmaking. The collection is characterized by monobloc dials that are sculpted directly from the material to create a three-depth effect similar to a block of marble. The series is divided into two parts, featuring textures designed to reveal depth through shifting light. Each piece in the collection is struck in the heart of Paris, utilizing the traditional metal-striking techniques of the Monnaie de Paris. While specific technical specifications and pricing were not disclosed in the announcement, the watches are presented as a blend of historical craftsmanship and modern design.
