Boucheron Reflet Steel

The steel reflet : a sporty and chic combination

Description

The design of the Reflet (french from reflection)  is one of the rare designs that we recognize at first glance : a rectangular case with vertical lines that accentuate the elongate feeling. The other major feature that made the Reflet a watchmaking revolution is the strap system. The very principle of the clasp is rethought by Boucheron : the case becomes the strap fermoir. The Reflet becomes a time-telling bracelet as Boucheron integrates the strap into the case. This clever system also allows for switching form bracelet to strap in the blink of a eye ! 

Made of steel with a silver dial, this model appears slightly more sporty than its yellow gold counterpart. The all-steel bracelet reinforces this perception, even though its slimness maintains an air of elegance. This modern Boucheron watch is both practical and ornamental, providing comfort when worn and housed with a quartz movement for practicality.

How to wear it?

However you desire! The advantage of a Reflet is that the ability to change the bracelet opens up endless possibilities. Françoise strongly encourages you to start a small collection of bracelets, allowing you to match your watch to your preferences and outfits without limits.

Why did Françoise choose it ?

The Reflet is unjustly overlooked in the world of women's watches. Its strap attachment system is revolutionary, enabling you to match your watch strap to your daily attire and mood. For this reason alone, Françoise has a special fondness for the Reflet and wishes to offer it more often. Besides, its long design sits particularly well on the wrist.

After the models in smaller dimensions in gold she sold, Françoise was drawn to this all-steel model, which has a sportier feel. Its discreet appearance makes it suitable for all occasions.

History

Boucheron is one of the brands that Françoise finds unjustly overlooked. After being the first jewelry house to set up shop in Place Vendôme, Boucheron was a forerunner on a large number of watchmaking and jewelry subjects. The brand's founder Frédéric Boucheron was among the first to promote the wristwatch, as early as the middle of the 19th century.

La Reflet, born in 1947 in the hands of the heirs of the founder, was Boucheron's first "mass" watchmaking success. Its system to switch straps in an heartbeat was a revolution for women as they can finally adapt their watch exactly to their outfit. Watches become a fashion accessory. Edith Piaf is perhaps the most famous ambassador of Boucheron watches : she considered her Reflet as her lucky charm (she was thought to have bought more than twenty!)
