The name Dior VIII has eight characters, an ode to Christian Dior’s superstitious lucky number. Other instances of the number eight in the brand include the couture house’s founding on Oct. 8, 1946, as well as the VIIIth arrondissement of Paris and its Avenue Montaigne and 8 Place Vendôme, where the maison’s high jewellery and timepiece collections are located.

Every piece in the Dior VIII collection stays true to the traditions of haute couture and haute horlogerie.
