MAGIC 8®
Discover the timeless essence of Charles Girardier’s Magic 8® 8080 Collection,
a symphony of horological luxury. Crafted in titanium, these watches embody subtlety and understated power. Their sleek dials provide a backdrop for the dazzling brilliance of Grand Feu enamel, unfolding a vibrant gradient of colours, a mastered technique, the camaïeu.
The index indices gracefully mark each moment, exuding sculptural elegance, while the discreet logo leaves its distinctive mark. At the heart of this timepiece, positioned at 8 o’clock, a kinetic dance unfolds: two asymmetrical hands, unveiling the infinite elegance of the number 8, intertwine in a hypnotic choreography, a 60-second magical feat capturing the spirit of infinity and eternal movement.
Explore the three distinct embodiments of refinement within the collection, each capturing a unique aura. The Emerald Green dial, the Majestic Purple, and the Cobalt Blue are masterpieces, eloquently expressing their identities. Each watch comes with a black leather strap delicately stitched to match its dial, adding a touch of sophistication to the ensemble.
These models feature our exclusive CG M8-8080 caliber, the hallmark of Charles Girardier’s watchmaking excellence.

OUR KNOW-HOW
The camaïeu enamelling technique is a refined artistic method that involves using subtle shades of a single enamel colour to create a monochromatic gradient effect. This delicate approach emphasizes the richness of tones in a single colour, ranging from light to dark, to produce a subtle and nuanced palette.
In this technique, the enamel artist works with a limited palette of colours from the same family, creating visual harmony through a gentle gradation. Each shade is precisely applied to the prepared metal surface, then fired at high temperatures to fuse with the base. This process is repeated several times, allowing the artist to play with variations in tones and create captivating visual effects.
Camaïeu enamelling requires meticulous expertise to achieve a perfect balance between shades and to ensure a smooth transition from one tone to another. The final result is an enamelled work of art of timeless elegance, where mastery of colour and the subtlety of gradation combine to create a unique and refined piece.
