La Belle Bleue - Elegance and perfection – (Made in France)
The creation of the Belle Bleue was born from the spirit of Gérard Bocage, a collector of modern luxury watches and a fireworks operator. Gerard BOCAGE, wanted this watch MADE IN FRANCE and entrusted it to Philippe LEBRU, designer and creator of the UTINAM brand, in Besançon, watchmaker, designer and creator.
Both works very hard to create this watch who pays homage to pyrotechnic art by evoking starry nights, the galaxy, and sparkles everywhere. Several years of exchanges were necessary to bring together the aesthetic, technical and material conditions to create this mechanical self-winding luxury watch.
