The Cluse Gracieuse Restock Has Arrived
Some watches you wear. Others you just keep sneaking glances at your own wrist. The Cluse Gracieuse collection firmly belongs in the second camp – and the latest restock is one of the prettiest batches we've had through the door in a while.
Four watches. All gold. All square-faced Gracieuses. Three with vibrant sunray dials, one with a lace-textured dial that deserves its own moment. Each sits on a gold stainless steel bracelet, but the real story is the dials – that's where Cluse does its best work.
A quick tour of what's in the cabinet:
Fuchsia Pink — Gracieuse Petite (24mm)
The boldest of the bunch. A vibrant fuchsia sunray dial set in a 24mm gold square case. It reads almost magenta in some lights, warmer and rosier in others. This is the one for anyone who wants their wrist to do the talking – pair it with neutrals and let it carry the room.
Sage Green — Gracieuse Mini (21mm)
The most understated of the colourful three, and possibly the most versatile. A soft sage green sunray dial in a slightly smaller 21mm case. There's something quietly confident about this one – it sits between earthy and elegant, and it goes with far more than you'd expect. The smaller profile makes it a lovely everyday piece.
Mauve Pink — Gracieuse Petite (24mm)
Where the fuchsia is bold, the mauve is romantic. A dusky, muted pink that leans slightly lilac in certain lights. Same 24mm gold case, same sunray finish, completely different mood. If the fuchsia is the Saturday-night watch, the mauve is the Sunday-brunch one.
Lace Textured Gold — Gracieuse Petite (24mm) & Mini (21mm)
And then there's this one. Rather than a coloured dial, the lace-textured gold features an ornate embossed pattern across the face – intricate, almost fabric-like, catching the light differently at every angle. It's the most ornamental piece of the bunch, and it comes in two sizes – the 24mm Petite and the 21mm Mini – so there's a fit for every wrist.
Don't sit on it
The Gracieuses have a habit of disappearing from the cabinet faster than we'd like to admit. If one of these dials is calling to you, the honest advice is not to wait around – graciously or otherwise. Explore the full collection in-store or online at John Ross Jewellers.
