The Happy Diamonds Heritage collection reinterprets the 1976 original, which featured 30 free-floating diamonds and was initially conceived as a one-off men's watch that won the Golden Rose of Baden-Baden.

The design concept was inspired by designer Ronald Kurowski's desire to capture the brilliance of sunlight dancing on a waterfall.

The 34mm model features a cushion-shaped 18k yellow gold case with a polished finish, a slimmer bezel, shorter lugs, and a larger fluted crown compared to the 1970s editions.

The black onyx dial serves as a backdrop for 21 free-floating diamonds (1.05 carats), framed by a golden circular border, with gilded dauphine hands indicating the time.
