Pierre Balmain is one of the most famous Parisian fashion houses, founded in 1945. Designer Pierre Balmain was famous for luxurious silhouettes, splendor and meticulous detailing.The watch line was developed in close cooperation with the Swiss Swatch Group, ensuring high technical quality and reliable ETA mechanisms. Balmain watches of the 1990-2000 period were created as luxury accessories, reflecting the French “haute couture” aesthetics - decorative dials, enamel accents and massive bracelets became the brand's calling card.
This model is valued for the brand's history (haute couture house with Swiss production), the authenticity of the design (decorative dial, enamel bezel, gold-plated massive bracelet), and the reliability of the ETA movement.
