TAOS Euphorie | Piece Unique
TAOS Dentelle
The TAOS Dentelle pays homage to the delicate lace-making traditions of Saint-Gall, Switzerland. Its dial layers silver paillon mesh over an engraved texture, all beneath translucent enamel. A special “under-fired” enamel technique gives the surface a subtle embroidered relief. Framed in an 18K white gold case with diamond-set bezel and lugs, this piece reflects quiet elegance and meticulous detail.
TAOS Savile Row
Inspired by Scottish tartans and London’s legendary tailoring, the TAOS Savile Row captures textile artistry in enamel. Up to 20 layers of transparent enamel—kiln-fired using Geneva techniques—reproduce the woven depth of fabric. Miniature painting mimics threadwork, resulting in a watch that mirrors the sophistication of bespoke design.
TAOS Sequin
The TAOS Sequin draws on the luxurious history of sequins, reimagined in a gradient of deep red enamel. Raised hand engravings, miniature gold appliqués, and gemstone detailing recreate the shimmer of haute couture. Every flicker of light on the dial speaks to a legacy of ornamental excellence—brought to life through Swiss watchmaking.
TAOS Envol Bleu
The TAOS Envol Bleu takes flight with enamel-covered, engraved feathers and a floral silver-leaf paillonné. These delicate elements form a stunning rosace pattern, accentuated by diamond details. Each layer and firing reveals a new depth, showcasing the maison’s unmatched skill in decorative craftsmanship.
