Often associated with creativity and incredible craftsmanship, Fabergé's historical achievement has always been defined as the tradition of exquisite artisanship. The Compliquée Peacock pays homage to the famous “Peacock Egg” of 1908 by Peter Carl Fabergé, maintaining his philosophy of crafting artworks with freedom and innovation.


Awarded the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève Ladies’ High-Mech Watch Prize in 2015, the complication of the piece is nothing short of astonishment as it displays time with perfect harmony and utmost artistry. The hour is represented by a magical rotating mother-of-pearl chapter ring and at the heart of the watch, peacock tail feathers fan across the dial, synthesizing the minute hand. What is even more impressive is that each of the four peacock tail feathers is moving simultaneously at different speeds, it is flawlessly executed by absolute mastery despite the complexity. Together with a precisely carved peacock at the bottom of the watch, the use of brilliant-cut diamonds, Paraiba tourmalines and tsavorites in the dial is the true display of meticulous jewelry expertise to complement the sophisticated movement.


Alluringly attractive, the Fabergé Compliquée Peacock is a perfect opportunity for acquiring a glamourous masterpiece packed with impeccable qualities in the collection.
