Drawn from the Backes & Strauss archives, a 19thcentury brooch with two linked hearts was the starting point for today’s Backes & Strauss sumptuous Victoria Princess diamond watch.

Evidently, in the spirit of women going after exactly what they want in life, the Backes & Strauss Victoria Princess watch has been a hit with a lengthy list of international pre-orders, with a limiting production to five pieces a month.

The watch is feminine in the extreme with tactile interior gold finish of the bracelet designed for ultimate comfort."The Backes & Strauss Victoria Princess watch looks just as glamorous on a bride or débutante as on a kimono-wearing Asian beauty, says Vartkess Knadjan, Backes & Strauss CEO.

With a pink mother of pearl dial, the watch is set with 604 Ideal Hearts & Arrows diamonds totalling 5.5 carats with hours of planning, precision cutting and hand polishing by diamond experts. Each Backes & Strauss diamond has a perfect series of eight arrowheads visible on the top of the stone while eight hearts circle the diamond from beneath. Every Backes & Strauss watch comes with its own Hearts and Arrows viewer, a testament to their perfection.
