About Chaumet Paris
Chaumet is one of the oldest and most prestigious jewelers and watchmakers in the world, founded in Paris in 1780 and holding the distinction of having served as official jeweler to Napoleon Bonaparte and the French Imperial Court — a heritage that places it in the same category of historical luxury as the most celebrated names in French fine jewelry. The Maison Chaumet has been headquartered at 12 Place Vendôme in Paris since 1812, at the very heart of the world's most prestigious luxury jewelry address, and has continuously produced fine jewelry and watches of exceptional craftsmanship across more than two centuries of French cultural history. The Still de Chaumet collection represents the brand's exploration of architectural, minimalist watch design during the 1990s — a period when Chaumet, like its Place Vendôme neighbors, was reaffirming its identity in the luxury watch market with pieces that combined Swiss movement precision with Parisian jewelry aesthetics. Chaumet watches from this era are increasingly collected as entry points into the brand's heritage, particularly diamond-dial examples in very good original condition that represent the intersection of fine watchmaking and haute joaillerie at an accessible price relative to the brand's historical prestige.

Design and Construction
The stainless steel case is the defining design element of the Still de Chaumet — an H-shaped architectural frame in which the upper and lower horizontal bars of the H form the strap attachment points, with the vertical case body rising as a bold rectangular tower between them. This structural approach eliminates traditional lugs entirely, creating a watch whose case reads as a piece of sculpture rather than a conventional timepiece format. The inner rectangular dial frame sits recessed within the polished case, its black dial surface punctuated by 12 round brilliant diamond hour markers arranged around the full perimeter — each diamond prong-set and positioned precisely at the hour positions to ensure legibility is maintained despite the absence of any other dial text or numerals. The "Chaumet Paris" signature at the top of the dial and "Swiss Made" at the bottom complete the dial layout with the clean, confident brand presence that defines this reference. See less
