Christian Dior - Cool Carré - Ohne mindestpreis - D82-100 - Damen - 1990-1999

Introduction

The Christian Dior Malice is a distinctive ladies' timepiece that showcases the House of Dior's iconic Cannage motif - the same quilted diamond pattern found on the legendary Lady Dior handbag. This watch is a true expression of Parisian haute couture translated into wristwear, blending fashion heritage with Swiss watchmaking precision.

Historical & Collector Value

Christian Dior, founded in 1946, revolutionized post-war fashion with the New Look and has since become one of the most influential luxury houses in the world. The Malice model, produced in limited quantities during the late 1990s and early 2000s, has become increasingly sought after by collectors of vintage designer watches. The Cannage pattern engraved across the case pays homage to the Napoleon III chairs used at Dior's original salon at 30 Avenue Montaigne. As an authentic Swiss-made quartz piece from a maison better known for couture, this watch offers a rare intersection of fashion history and horological craftsmanship, making it a valuable addition to any collection focused on designer timepieces.
