Delivering an artful approach to hospitality, the captivating tropical resort celebrates craftsmanship, intimacy, creativity, and the Art of Hospitality. Taking a new step in delivering artful experiences, Cheval Blanc Randheli has collaborated with Dior, to create an exclusive watch exuding the sense of refinement and excellence, that both brands share.

In this unique collaboration, the new Dior Grand Bal watch is inspired by Cheval Blanc Randheli’s unique settings. Uniting the excellence of watchmaking savoir faire with the creativity of couture, the Grand Bal Collection celebrates the enchanting festivities that fascinated Christian Dior.

This special edition is an ode to the art of travel and beauty of venturing away. The exclusive watch is decorated in a captivating camaieu of Maldives atolls, and reveals a dial set with 131 blue sapphires, adorned with delicate feathers. In a limited edition of five, this precious timepiece can be discovered at the Cheval Blanc Randheli concept store.
