About the Chaumet Khésis:
Founded in Paris in 1780, Chaumet is one of France's historic high-jewelry houses, known for its royal commissions, elaborate goldsmithing, and diamond-set jewelry. The Khésis collection, introduced in 1995, brought this jewelry-making tradition to wristwatches through an unconventional bracelet-centered design.
The defining feature of the Khésis is its supple, integrated bracelet composed of rounded links often described as grain de riz, or rice-grain links. The design gives the watch the appearance of a continuous gold bracelet, with the compact square case incorporated directly into the jewelry rather than treated as a separate component.
This circa 2000 example features a factory diamond-set gold dial, with a central rectangular diamond arrangement and individual diamond hour markers. The blued steel hands provide contrast against the gold and diamonds, while the 18K yellow gold bracelet completes the design.
At 114.12 grams, this Khésis has a considerable precious-metal presence for a 21mm watch. Its factory diamond dial, solid gold construction, and distinctive bracelet make it a particularly attractive example of Chaumet's jewelry-focused watchmaking from the turn of the millennium.
