Pascal Raffy, CEO of Bovet 1822, escorts the King family at the DIMIER factory in Switzerland

The King family from King Jewelers of Aventura, FL and Nashville, TN had the recent privilege of touring the DIMIER manufacture facility in Switzerland.

Established in 1738 based in the historical Fleurier of Switzerland, the DIMIER brothers were visionaries who shared the ideal quest for outstanding workmanship, watchmaking as an art, and an expertise of artisans based on magnificence and precision. Such expertise was handed down from generation to generation in the shape of exceptional timepieces. Today, the passion and vision of Pascal Raffy, the rejuvenating catalyst behind the BOVET 1822 brand, presents a new way of telling time called DIMIER as a tribute to those illustrious creators.

While the DIMIER workshop currently manufacturers and services tourbillon movements for leading industry names such as Harry Winston, Gerald Genta, Alain Silverstein, not to mention another 14 notable brands, Pascal Raffy has deftly developed the first DIMIER collection for an exclusive experience reserved for a select few connoisseurs who appreciate the careful attention to detail which has prevailed at every stage in the creation of this new achievement of fine luxury watchmaking.

The first opus consists of a timepiece fashioned in red gold, white gold or platinum with a Tourbillon at its heart which sets the senses spinning. Classical in the way in which they rest on the wrist, yet modern and sleek with a 46mm case, the horns reveal carefully fashioned profiles. emotion of DIMIER is special and no less rare because each composition created in this way will be available in an annual limited edition of 50 numbered timepieces in each of the precious metal versions.
