Chistian Dior needs no introduction and when they launch a watch, it is only obvious that we would go ga ga over its elegance and style. The Dior Christal Mysterieuse Watch has been designed by Quinting and Dior and thus comes with a style that many other watches do not possess.

Being part of the Christel collection, the watch wows you with its finesse and élan. The Quinting’s hidden movement is hidden under the sides of the watch and this is an important feature. It also comes with a sapphire disc and great pearls which makes the watch very exclusive.

With an awesome stainless steel case, you can rest assured that you would look good no matter what and where you go. There is no information about either the price or availability but it should be available across Dior stores. There is nothing better than wearing a cool watch like this to a great evening out.

Swarovski, crystals, precious stones were seen in various forms of jewelry by news is now someone is taking the honor to clad her body. The ever-charming Blake Lively from the hit series Gossip Girl had her work cut out at a latest held Vanity Fair photo shoot. Her day got busy in cavorting around a 33-pound Christian Dior gown. The tinted yellow satin gown was bathed in counted 6,000 Swarovski sequins all elegantly fitted with hand.
