Cephee SA received dazzling reviews during their premiere at the February 2010 Doha Jewelry & Watch Exhibition.
The new collection of high end certified Geneve-Swiss made diamond baguette watches were a small but significant showcase during the expo. Hosted by AlFardan Jewelry, a renowned retailer throughout the Gulf nations, Cephee received significant regional review in prominent newspapers including the Gulf Times on 2/17/10 and Al Riyadh on 2/20/10.
"The Cephee brand stems from the eternal question underlying 'haute joaillerie' timepieces: are they at their core a watch or a jewel?" stated Christophe Golay the noted Swiss watchmaker. With Cephee, the answer is both. By melding cutting edge techniques with ancient skills, the collections of Cephee are utterly unique.
Cephee's timepieces include a Diamond Collection featuring fully adorned dials and lunettes with internal flawless to VVS1, spectacular D, E and F color diamond baguettes. The Cephee Gemstone Collection offers precious agate dials with diamond baguette surrounds.
"These are not pieces for the masses," commented partner, Christina Dochtermann of NY. "Cephee is a bespoke collection that is customized for its collector/owner." During the Doha Expo, Cephee was a topic of much conversation and appreciation from diamond jewelers and high-end watch brands. The collection also caught the eye and appreciation of the Royal Palace who purchased a few of the stunning tonneau timepieces in full diamonds and also incorporating Nacre, the beloved regional Mother of Pearl.
Cephee collector's timepieces are available by private appointment or through a select group of retailers in globally prominent regions.
