Boucheron cites the animal kingdom as “an inexhaustible source of inspiration", with each of the house’s creatures acting as a talisman that brings protective powers to the wearer. One of its most iconic? The Serpent; far from its real life counterpart, this eponymous watch boasts a textured 18 carat white gold dial instead of scales, rotating it around a glimmering mother of pearl face that’s set with sparkling diamonds instead of numerals.
