Aesthetic beauty comes from the deep dream of founder Laurence Graff
The idea to produce this aesthetic product came from Laurence Graff, President of Graff Diamonds. After the watch was completed and the price of $55 million was announced, many billionaires had to frown and wonder if this watch was really worth that price?
Laurence Graff “Graff is a sculptural masterpiece, a celebration of the magic of flawless and brilliant diamonds.”
Mr. Graff was born and raised in London, and started out as an apprentice to master jeweler Hatton Garden District. From the time he was just an apprentice, he demonstrated a rare talent in the field of jewelry making. At the age of 24, he had two jewelry stores under his own brand in London. And then that jewelry system quickly spread throughout the world. The amazing thing is that even at the age of 30, the company he founded became one of the largest jewelry brands in the UK. In 1973, he became the first master jeweler to receive the Queens Award for Industry and Exports. Today his company has 45 super-premium stores globally with corporate offices in the world’s largest cities: London, New York, Geneva, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
Mr. Graff has been mulling the idea of conceiving the Graff Diamonds Hallucination watch for quite a long time. In his own words: “For many years, I thought about creating a real watch that would express my deep passion for the world of gemstones. And this watch is the symbol that I was able to make my dream come true.”
In general, many experts still consider that $55 million for a watch is too expensive, however, if you add in the cost of manufacturing and selecting rare diamonds embedded in it… then this is a very worthy price. Jewelers add that these diamonds are actually worth more individually than the vast majority of similar diamonds on the market… because based on a lot of information, they have been selected not only for their beautiful colors, but also for the unique stories behind each of these stones.

Why did Graff pursue the creation of this masterpiece?
Watch enthusiasts speculate that Graff decided to make this watch to show off the rare source of diamonds, as well as the manufacturing skills and authority of the company he owns. After all, Laurence Graff is the controlling shareholder of the South African Diamond Joint Stock Company (SAFDICO), which is one of the main diamond producers in South Africa, currently owning many of the world’s largest diamond processing and polishing workshops, and typically the Johannesburg headquarters. Tens of thousands of diamonds are cut and polished each year and the finest diamonds are used to create Mr. Graff’s jewelry. Among thousands of diamonds, Mr. Graff always searches for the rarest diamonds whether rough or cut and polished to accumulate for his secret jewelry projects.
“The hunt for diamonds continues. We search every day to find the world’s finest rough and polished stones. The rarest gems can have beauty beyond anyone’s imagination,” said Laurence Graff.
Kho báu kim cương hoàn mỹ trên “một vòng tay" mà bất kỳ quý cô nào cũng phải khao khát
Không có gì là phóng đại khi nói đồng hồ Graff Diamonds Hallucination đang mang cả một kho báu lên cổ tay. Các nhà thiết kế hàng đầu, những chuyên giá về đá quý cao cấp, các thợ thủ công bậc thầy đã dành hàng nghìn giờ đồng hồ để tạo tác và đính những viên kim cương quý hiếm này lên chiếc vỏ đồng hồ bạch kim tinh tế này. Để khi hoàn tất “chiếc vòng tay" này dường như đã trở thành một sinh vật đầy sức sống và biết thở phập phồng theo từng chuyển động của người đeo, biết khoe ra những đường nét và màu sắc mỹ lệ nhất mà đá quý có thể đạt được.
Currently, Mr. Graff has announced 50 designs for this watch in 5 collections: Technical, Sport, Evening, Jeweled, and Bespoke. Graff himself was also the creator Tourbillon MasterGraff Grand Date Dual Time has many unique functions.
But are all these rare diamonds, talented craftsmanship, and exquisite designs worth the $55 million price tag? Perhaps this price is still a challenge to the world, as well as seductive to anyone who is passionate about gemstones and watches, especially aesthetic women. And maybe for all these reasons, he named this watch collection Hallucination… that could be the illusion of ultimate luxury, the most frivolous dream.
