From a connoisseur
From the 1950s onwards, the flower became the muse of Boucheron watchmaking. It inspired new designs, and the bracelets of women's watches became the focus of a veritable exercise in style. As rigid as it is light, the strap of this secret watch is worked in a sage leaf motif. According to a similar example in the Boucheron archives, reproduced in the reference work "Boucheron le joaillier du temps", this design was created around 1953.
