Here is the best in my opinion of the Bestiary Ronde Seconde Folle Watch collection by
Boucheron. Like the frog model the Owl continues with the "googly" eye theme where the Owl's eye located at 7 o'clock is a small disc for the seconds where the pupil moves around and rotates fully each minute. Dark purple tones allude to the night, where this watch model is most at home. The indigo color also works well with the 42mm wide 18k gray gold case and slightly darker gray tone of the owl character. Again, Boucheron uses diamonds and various colors of sapphires, rubies, and tsavorites to decorate both versions of the watch from the more subdued version to that where the owl takes over the face and bezel of the watch. The whimsy of the timepiece is almost Disney worthy.
Again, as is for the rest of the Bestiary Ronde Seconde Folle collection, inside is the Girard Perregaux GP 4000 automatic movement. It is about all you could hope for in a watch with beauty, humor, character, high quality construction, and a haute horology attitude. The right women will be so taken by the entire collection as to want all six models of the three animals; the Chameleon, the Frog, and the Owl. Likely available soon where Boucheron timepieces and jewelry are sold.
