Awake - Són Mài – Frosted Leaf
AWAKE continues its journey through the world’s ancestral craftsmanship, venturing into the hidden ateliers of Hanoi—where Vietnam’s most revered lacquer masters still practice their timeless art.
In a rare fusion of tradition and contemporary creation, these exceptional artisans have lent their hands and vision to an extraordinary endeavor: to elevate the beauty of our planet through hand-crafted dials, produced in a strictly limited series.
From this encounter emerges the “Sơn Mài – Frosted Leaf” collection—
a poetic and sensory expression, inspired by the Earth’s hues as seen from space.
Three interpretations—in blue, green, and brown—pay tribute to oceans, forests, and fertile lands. Each dial is deep, luminous, and textured, conceived as a true work of art.
Through an exclusive new technique blending traditional lacquer with silver leaf gilding, AWAKE invites Vietnam’s master lacquerers to reinvent the contemporary watch dial—
a dialogue of art, nature, and innovation.
About Frosted Leaf:
Three exclusive editions inspired by the colors of the Planet
An exclusive new technique in watchmaking sanded lacquer and silver leaf gilding, combined with natural pigments.
15 hours of work per dial
Exclusive luminous signature: inspired by Japanese chiaroscuro.
Swiss Manufacture La Joux-Perret (La Chaux-de-Fonds)
An unrivalled value/emotion proposition of unique dials designed by hand
The three dials in the FROSTED LEAF collection each evoke, in their own way, the raw beauty of our planet—forests, oceans, and nourishing lands—inviting a sensory journey that fosters introspection.
MOKA: pays tribute to the Earth and its profound roots, with warm, comforting tones that embody authenticity and grounded strength.
BLUE: evokes escape and infinity, with enigmatic shades of blue that recall water, sky, and vast open horizons.
GREEN: honors life, vegetal freshness, and balance, with organic textures that reconnect us to nurturing nature.
Three sensitive, harmonious variations, offering a new way to contemplate the world—through material.
“Observing nature is a way to escape and dream. We wanted the dials in the FROSTED LEAF collection to encourage a kind of visual and sensory letting go, away from the urban hustle and bustle and modern distractions.”
Lilian Thibault – Founder, AWAKE
