In 2009, Ateliers deMonaco created La Sirène inspired by
Princess Charlene of Monaco. This timepiece celebrated Ateliers deMonaco’s
debut in the fine jewellery segment. For the design of the dial, the brand used
the King Protea pattern, which is the national flower of South Africa, the home
country of Princess Charlene. This first timepiece featured light blue topaz
stones reminiscent of the colour of the princess’s eyes.

La Sirène timepieces are powered by the in-house automatic
dMc-700 calibre, which is wound by a 22ct solid gold rotor engraved with the
shield of the Principality of Monaco. These watches have a power reserve of 42
hours and have a frequency of 28,800 beats per hour. Fully respecting the
Ateliers deMonaco aesthetics, these calibres are housed in an 18ct white gold
case of 39mm diameter.
La Sirène Diamant is entirely decorated with G-Top Wesselton
diamonds. The case is set with 297 diamonds, while the bezel boasts 300
diamonds and a crown set with 20 diamonds. A delicate artwork was created on
the 18ct solid gold dial, which is adorned with 120 diamonds set in a flower
pattern. The centre dial features white, light-reflecting mother-of-pearl.

La Sirène Rubis is decorated with three different stones:
the ruby, the sapphire and the diamond, which give impression of a red rainbow.
The bezel is set with 16 baguette-cut rubies, 28 baguette-cut sapphires and two
baguette-cut diamonds. Following the same colour shading, the dial embraces 24
rubies, 21 sapphires and three diamonds set in flower pattern. In order to
highlight this masterpiece, the crown is decorated with one ruby and the strap
is as red as the ruby stones.
