The new Dior Grand Soir Automate collection is inspired by Christian Dior's passion for the bounty of nature and the signs of destiny. Pressing a small push button hidden in the crown sets the mechanical automaton in motion for approximately 30 seconds, magically breathing life into the elements on the dial and unfolding a poetic story.
The dial features symbols that accompanied Dior throughout his life: the star that guided him when he decided to found an haute couture house, the iconic location of 30 Avenue Montaigne, and its constellation, Aquarius. As a shooting star passes over the horizon, the automaton mechanism causes Christian Dior's lucky star to twinkle in the night sky, surrounded by clouds of pearl, inviting you to a peaceful reverie.
