Backes & Strauss is the oldest diamond company in the world, but who would have thought that day will also do a great job creating watches? With their Berkeley collection, inspired by one of the most charming of London’s great squares, they were able to create a watch that is as elegant as the Mayfair in Berkley Square.

In this Berkeley Octagonal, diamonds are not just an added sparkle or embellishment but also they are fundamental to its design. Like in their every other watches, the diamonds that they used here are carefully selected and cut and polished to perfection. Their watches are definitely designed to show off their diamonds. The sweeping curves of the case are also carefully calculated to allow the optimum light to reach the stones. These Berkeley Octagonal comes with a leather bracelet and available with either a silver or gray dial.

Backes & Strauss is definitely unique among the other watchmakers. They were able to combine their brilliance for horology, which is the study of measuring time, with their passion for diamonds. With its leather bracelet and octagonal case filled with diamonds, no doubt that this is a very classy and elegant watch.
