What watch should the Picasso lover buy? We’d wager it would look something like the Boucheron Crazy Jungle Frog. Manufacturing watches and jewelry in Paris since 1858, Boucheron has always taken an out of the box approach to watch design.
This particular piece features an 18K white gold case with a triple stepped bezel, hobnail case flanks, and straight lugs. Features you'd see sprinkled throughout your favorite manufacture's catalog.
The 42mm case is filled with a sky blue dial with the frog motif set at the center, gem set and smiling. The two eyes of the frog have different sized eyes (enter Picasso), and the left eye has a moving retina that displays the running seconds!
As a whole, this piece has a playful undertone that reminds us of the cartoonish nostalgia of early childhood, repackaged for a mature collector. Set on a pink shark-skin texture watch strap, and paired with a white gold pin buckle with a complementing hobnail pattern, this piece may be bright and colorful, but it still features the attention to detail that speaks to the high jewelry piece that it is.
The perfect choice for a particular collector— you know who you are!
