Focus: the Reflet watch by Boucheron

Created in 1947, Reflet is the watchmaking icon of Maison Boucheron. This timepiece is a concentrate of elegance and innovation. With its gadroon pattern and the discreet sparkle of the cabochon, Reflet shines above all through the ingenuity of its clasp and its interchangeable bracelet.

History of the Reflet watch

The Reflet watch was born after the Second World War, designed by the founder of the house: Frédéric Boucheron. It was intended to embody the values ​​of the house: audacity, refinement and style. From its beginnings, it was a symbol of modernity with its elegant rectangular dial and its refined style, which contrasted with the round and traditional shapes of watches of the time. This watch was also designed to be unisex, a visionary characteristic that continues to appeal to a diverse clientele.

A design worthy of great technicality

The aesthetics of the Reflet watch are based on a subtle design and high-quality finishes. The watch is generally presented in a gold or steel case, with a rectilinear pattern combined with soft edges that give it an elegant and sophisticated look. Its refined dial is often available in different finishes: lacquered black, pearly white, or with gold details.
Its bracelet, removable thanks to an ingenious patented system, allows you to change style easily, an asset that gives this watch a versatility that is rare in the watchmaking field. This interchangeable bracelet system allows each owner to personalize their jewel, adding a dimension of freedom and uniqueness to each Reflet watch.

Today, the Reflet is available in several models, from the most original versions to limited editions decorated with precious stones or more contemporary finishes.

Another of the most notable features of the Reflet watch is its "mysterious cabochon stone", placed as a crown, allowing the time to be set while adding a touch of color to the watch.

The Reflet watch: French inspirations

The "gadron" motif actually refers to a type of raised fluting inspired by the columns of the Place Vendôme, where Boucheron has been based since 1893 and strengthens the house's connection with this prestigious district of Paris.

In addition, an almost invisible, but symbolic detail can be found on the dial of the Reflet: a motif of the Vendôme column, a discreet homage to the mythical place of French jewelry where Boucheron has held shop since 1893. This motif is integrated in such a discreet way that it is only visible in sunlight or from certain angles, making this reference subtle and elegant.
