This is made from tubes of aluminium oxide powder injected at a pressure of nearly 2,000 bars. The bezel and caseback are in ATZ white ceramic. For example, a casing ring is no longer used, and the movement is mounted on chassis mounting rubbers (ISO SW) fixed by titanium screws. As a result, everything has been constructed according to extremely rigorous specifications. The design and execution of the watch demonstrate a holistic approach to conception of the movement and the case. Such splendour of colour and scenography, both front and back, deserved a setting that would do justice to the composition. The component is given a metallic pink PVD coating before the beak is painted black using a brush. The pink flamingo, 0.2 g of red gold, also undergoes multiple processes: its wings are polished and their feathers traced with the tip of a Dégussit grinding stone its eye is made using the smallest beading tool in existence its pedestal is micro-blasted and the part that depicts the grass and water is polished. The gold flower above it is mirror-polished, its petals brushed and rhodium-plated. The umbrella, the olive (1.7 mm in height), the 0.4 mm-diameter grooved straw – all polished – and the glass itself, its base micro-blasted to convey its chill, weigh a total of just 0.4 g.

The cocktail glass is an assembly of four parts, all in gold. No effort has been spared in the finishing, down to the tiniest detail of each element in this display.

Featuring a larger echo of the rainbow motif, it gleams with faint reflections thanks to hand-applied varnishes, contrasting with its anthracite-coloured rhodium plating. The striking Smiley figure in yellow gold, micro-blasted and painted, presides over this landscape from atop the additional motion-work bridge in microblasted ARCAP® with polished anglage and drawn edges.
