The Story

The Estelle collection was conceived as a study in restraint — timepieces that speak through material rather than ornamentation. For this edition, the maison turned to one of horology's most exceptional and elusive dial materials: Fish Belly Stone.

The name Estelle draws from the French word étoile — a quiet reference to the stars. With its pure alabaster depth and subtle natural veining, Fish Belly stone captures the first light of dawn reflecting off the Haussmannian facades and grand stone monuments of Paris.

The Stone

Fish Belly stone is a rare variety of natural mineral formed deep within the earth under intense geological pressure over millions of years. Celebrated in fine craftsmanship and classical art for its milky translucency and silky luster, it is distinguished by a bright white field woven through with soft, organic internal grain.

Because every dial disc is cut directly from a different section of natural stone matrix, no two dials are ever identical. The direction, intensity, and flow of the natural veining vary from watch to watch. What you wear is not a manufactured pattern. It is an authentic fragment of geological history.

Design Philosophy

The Estelle Fish Belly is built on a 43 mm case — a proportion chosen to allow the natural stone dial its full presence without excess. The case profile is clean and architectural: sculpted lugs with a high-polish finish, a polished bezel, and a crown engraved with the Champs Élysées emblem.

The dial is the watch. Hour markers are applied baton indices in a crisp silver tone that echoes the cool undertones of the stone without competing with its natural grain. A discreet date aperture at 3 o'clock is the only functional interruption to the stone's surface. The hands echo the indices — precise, unhurried, and in proportion.

This is a watch designed to be looked at slowly.

Swiss Manufacture

The Estelle Fish Belly carries the Swiss Made designation — a standard that requires the movement to be Swiss, the casing to be performed in Switzerland, and the final inspection to be conducted by the manufacturer.

At the heart of the watch is the ETA 956.032 quartz movement — a calibre known for its reliability, slim profile, and long service intervals. The sapphire crystal above the dial is scratch-resistant and optically clear, ensuring the fish belly's extraordinary depth of colour is always seen at its best. Water resistance is rated to 5 ATM, suitable for everyday wear.

Every watch is assembled, regulated, and inspected individually before leaving the atelier.

Limited Edition

The Estelle Fish Belly is produced in a strictly limited edition of 20 pieces worldwide. Each watch is individually numbered. Once the edition is closed, it will not be repeated.

No two pieces are identical. The unique distribution of natural veining within each dial ensures that each of the 20 watches is, in the most literal sense, one of a kind.

FAQ

Is the dial made from real fish belly?: Yes. Each dial is cut from genuine fish belly stone. The pattern, colour depth, and veining will vary naturally between pieces — no two dials are identical.
How many pieces are available?: The Estelle Fish Belly is limited to 20 numbered pieces worldwide.
Is this watch Swiss Made?: Yes. The Estelle Fish Belly carries the Swiss Made designation, with movement, casing, and final inspection all performed in Switzerland.
What movement does it use?: The watch is powered by the ETA 956.032 quartz calibre — a precise, low-maintenance Swiss movement.
Can I wear it daily?: Yes. With 5 ATM water resistance and a sapphire crystal, the Estelle Fish Belly is built for regular wear, while remaining an exceptional collector's piece.
Will my dial look exactly like the photographs?: The photographs show a representative example. Because each dial is cut from a unique section of the raw stone, your piece will have its own pattern, veining, and depth of colour.
Where does fish belly come from?: Fish Belly stone (traditionally known in fine stonemasonry as Yú Dù Bái) is sourced from rare natural marble and jadeite deposits quarried primarily from the mineral-rich mountain regions of East Asia and Italy. Celebrated for centuries in high architecture and fine art for its luminous white purity and delicate veining, its selective origin and difficulty to cut into ultra-thin watch dials make it exceptionally prized in fine horology.
