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 captivating and expressive gemstones: Malachite.

The name Estelle draws from the French word étoile — a quiet reference to the stars. With its deep, verdant bands and natural organic movement, Malachite captures the lush elegance of Paris's historic gardens and grand avenues, mirroring the rich architectural heritage of the Champs Élysées.

The Stone

Malachite is a copper carbonate mineral revered for millennia for its striking green colour palette, ranging from pale sage to deep pine and obsidian green. Formed in copper-rich geological zones through slow precipitation over millions of years, its signature concentric bands create hypnotising, one-of-a-kind patterns.

Because every dial disc is cut directly from a different section of natural stone matrix, no two dials are ever identical. The density, curvature, and contrast of the green bands 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 Malachite is built on a 43 mm case — a proportion chosen to allow the 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 warm silver tone that complements the stone's natural palette without competing with it. 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 Malachite 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 stone 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 Malachite 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 banding within each dial ensures that each of the 20 watches is, in the most literal sense, one of a kind.
