A Tribute to Saint-Gall Lace
Saint-Gall lace has long represented refinement and artistry. TAOS reinterprets this craft in watch form. The Dentelle transforms delicate lace into a dial of depth and movement.
Under layers of translucent enamel lies a finely engraved silver paillon mesh, glowing softly through each coat. As a result, the surface takes on the visual rhythm of handwoven lace.
