These collaborative watches, the Solune Dune Grand Art and the Solune Dune Médaillon, glitter as the ultimate gems of an ever-evolving collection– paving the way for future masterpieces, and setting new standards in collaborative watch design.

It is the brand’s collective commitment to creativity, and the fusion of various fields of expertise, that stands as the hallmark of this leading independent watchmaker.
