The Peacock Inspiration
The latest addition to the Gilda collection, named Peacock, draws its identity from the plumage of one of nature’s most evocative creatures. The bird’s shimmering “eyes” become both decoration and symbol across the dial, echoing ideas of grace, beauty and mystery while appearing to gaze back at the observer.
Conceived for the feminine world “in all its nuances”, Gilda Peacock is meant to express sweetness and delicacy while still conveying strength and character. A serene blue base contrasts with a radiating motif that plays with light and shadow, creating a composition that feels both gentle and assured.
The Dial: Depth, Iridescence and Craft
At the centre of the watch is its blue dégradé dial, the result of a carefully controlled colouring process adapted to Gilda’s elliptical geometry. Working on a stretched oval rather than a circle requires precise handling of the gradient so that the transition of blue tones remains balanced across the entire surface.
On this base, an eight-hour laser engraving sequence brings a radiating motif to life, enriched by a relief structure inspired by peacock feathers. The relief is then coloured to recall the chromatic richness and iridescence of real plumage, not as a literal copy but as a transposition of its depth into an everyday companion.
The combination of gradient, engraving and selective colouring creates a layered dial that rewards close inspection. As the light shifts, the peacock-inspired “eyes” reveal different nuances, strengthening the link between the motif and the timepiece’s name and encouraging the wearer to linger on the details.
The Elliptical Case and Crystal
The Gilda Peacock preserves the elliptical case that defines the collection. Its fluid lines are drawn to embrace the wrist, avoiding rigid geometry in favour of gentle curves so the watch feels as considered in profile and on the skin as it does when viewed head-on.
A patented spherical sapphire crystal follows this curved profile with precision. Instead of simply covering the dial, it participates in the case architecture, echoing the elliptical footprint and subtly magnifying the engraved work to enhance the play of light across the peacock-inspired motif.
The case back carries an engraved floral motif that reinforces the collection’s link to natural forms. The model name appears in red, providing a discreet contrast that distinguishes this iteration within the broader Gilda family and signals the Peacock’s specific personality.
Strap, Buckle and Finishing Touches
The dial is paired with a lapis-blue alligator strap that mirrors its tones. The silver lurex stitching introduces a subtle metallic glint that complements the dial’s iridescent treatment and adds refinement to a classic strap construction.
An elliptical-shaped buckle echoes the case geometry, extending the same design language from case to clasp. Bearing the Shield emblem of the Maison, it provides a clear signature without disturbing the purity of the lines, framing Gilda Peacock as a coherent expression of the collection’s codes interpreted through the peacock motif.
Why It Matters
The Gilda Peacock extends the Gilda collection with a model that deepens its focus on feminine nuance through a peacock-inspired dial and an ergonomically curved case. For collectors and clients in the GCC, the combination of elaborate laser engraving, iridescent colour work and a lapis-blue alligator strap with subtle metallic stitching offers a refined option aligned with an appreciation for ornamental detail and artisanal finishing.
