Its design is both subtle and striking, offering a timeless, almost cosmic elegance. Crafted in white gold—an exceptionally rare choice—this timepiece blends avant-garde artistry with precision. Gilbert Albert was a true pioneer, known for his unique approach to watchmaking, deeply inspired by nature. His designs reflected the organic forms and fluid lines found in the natural world—curves and shapes that mirrored leaves, waves, and human contours. This approach set Albert apart, creating timepieces that felt alive and constantly evolving, where artistry met craftsmanship. The result is a watch with a design rooted in nature yet forward-thinking. As part of Omega's Frisson d'Or collection, the name "Frisson d'Or" evokes the idea of a "shiver of gold"—a nod to the rare, captivating beauty that defines the watch and the collection.
