Backes & Strauss Presents the Diamond Jubilee Collection

Inspired by and dedicated to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Backes & Strauss introduces the Diamond Jubilee Collection.

This special celebration comes to life on the dial of the timepiece. The Lord Chamberlain’s Office in Buckingham Palace granted Backes & Strauss London permission to use Her Majesty’s Royal Cypher “EIIR,” which, complete with Crown, appears on the dial. The base features outlines of English roses, appropriately lacquered in Royal purple. Diamond-set numerals bring the dial to brilliant life, as does the optional one or two-row ideal cut diamond setting.

Each aspect of the timepiece stays true to the festive occasion; the back of the 18kt white gold case is engraved with “Queen’s Diamond Jubilee” and serial number. To commemorate the Queen’s 60 years of reign, only 60 units will be produced. The side of every case is marked “1952-2012,” and each piece will mark a year of Her Majesty’s reign.

A stunning tribute to the Queen, Backes & Strauss honors Her Majesty with a collection that channels her sophistication.
