Halloween Horology- Chaumet Attrape-moi…si tu m’aimes’

I’m unashamed to admit it but I adore Halloween. If I lived In America, where this type of Halloween adoration is socially acceptable, I’d be going to work of the 31^st in my skeleton onesie, trick or treating at the weekend and unashamedly consuming every pumpkin flavoured product available. 

 Sadly, being a stuff upper-lipped Brit, I have confined myself to making spooky biscuits and perusing the finest Halloween themed watches on offer.

From the premium end of the market comes Chaumet’s  Montre  Precieuse ‘Attrape-moi…si tu m’aimes’. This rhodium plated, white gold watch  is set with  64 brilliant cut diamonds  in and around the dial, with 12 polished pink gold  indexes set  in the bezel. Instead of hands a pink gold spider and stone encrusted bee tell the time by chasing each other around the dial, their movement dictated by a Swiss self-winding movement that is exclusive to Chaumet. I can't find an exact price for these models but i'm sure it's worth more that a few pumpkin spiced lattes.

There are two other spiders web motif versions, further encrusted with bees and flowers. Pure unadulterated spidery luxury. To view the whole collection, visit Chaumet's website.

These ethereal pieces would not look out of place at a Halloween ball, worn with a pitch black gown to highlight the brilliance of the diamonds and richly fabricated straps.

Certainly too lovely for sitting at home in a skeleton onesie eating spooky biscuits.
