In celebration of Sincere Fine Watches’ 70th Anniversary, we proudly present the Compliquée Butterfly watch collection.

Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition is composed of a series of 10 unique iterations of the GPHG (2015) award-winning Fabergé Compliquée Watch. Each timepiece is distinguished by a bespoke dial, meticulously hand-painted by true artisans.

With Sincere’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations anchored in the theme of “A New Era,” the butterfly was chosen as a symbol of new beginnings. We fully supported this concept, working closely with Sincere to bring the concept to fruition. The result is the alluring Fabergé Compliquée Butterfly Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition—a commemorative piece that not only reflects our illustrious heritage, but also underscores our unwavering dedication to a shared vision.

Sincere Fine Watches’ 70th Anniversary

Our watchmaking legacy of excellence was solidified in 2015, when the we received the prestigious Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) in the 'Hi-Mechanical' category for the Compliquée Peacock watch, an accolade often referred to as the 'Oscars' of the watch industry. By incorporating this celebrated complication, the Fabergé Compliquée Butterfly Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition pays homage to our legacy while commemorating Sincere’s 70-year milestone, seamlessly blending tradition with modern innovation.

The 10 unique variations of the Platinum Jubilee Edition reflect a perfect union of artistry and craftsmanship. Created in collaboration with Agenhor Manufacture and a team of master artisans, each dial is adorned with intricate miniature paintings, inspired by the flora and fauna of Asia—Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Taiwan, where Sincere proudly operates its retail boutiques. The butterfly—representing transformation, resilience, and new beginnings, beautifully aligns with Sincere Fine Watches’ forward-looking spirit as we enter "A New Era" in celebration of the 70th Anniversary.

Each of the Fabergé Compliquée Butterfly Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition watches is a wearable work of art. Adorned with butterflies and complemented by flowers meticulously micro-painted and engraved onto mother-of-pearl dials, these 10 unique pieces feature either the Orchid, the Hibiscus, or both. Beyond their visual allure, the choice of flowers carries deep symbolism, reflecting the core values and heritage that both Sincere Fine Watches and Fabergé uphold.

The Compliquée Butterfly Tropics Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition

Encased in an 18k rose gold case adorned with 1.83 carats of sparkling brilliant-cut diamonds, the Fabergé Compliquée Butterfly Tropics Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition is a masterpiece of horological artistry. The vibrant dial features a delicate orchid, meticulously crafted from hand-set yellow and pink sapphires, set against a backdrop of lush tsavorites, which evoke the verdant beauty of an idyllic garden.

Adding to its allure, the watch features an exquisite mother-of-pearl hour ring that frames a hand-painted orchid in a mesmerizing gradient of purple. Perched delicately on the orchid is a butterfly, masterfully painted in elegant shades of blue and black. The design is a marvel of craftsmanship, where the butterfly’s wings, which gracefully move to indicate the passing minutes—a moment of delicate beauty, captured in time and animated with each passing hour.

Enhancing the intricate design is the minute track, also rendered in lustrous mother-of-pearl, adorned with laser-engraved butterflies that appear to dance across its surface. This delicate detail adds yet another layer of artistry, perfectly complementing the watch's ethereal aesthetic.

The Fabergé Compliquée Butterfly Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition watches feature the calibre 6901, a unique movement developed by Agenhor Manufacture exclusively for Fabergé. Hours are displayed via a numbered mother-of-pearl ring that rotates counterclockwise around the winding crown at three o’clock. Minutes are indicated by the position of the butterfly’s wings, which unfurl each hour and return to zero only when the leading wing reaches 60, creating a dynamic scene as time unfolds on the wearer’s wrist.

In this manually wound movement, the butterfly’s wings move independently, at varying speeds, each fanning out to indicate the minutes. This hourly cycle transforms the passage of time into scenes of ephemeral beauty, reflecting the innovative and imaginative spirit of Peter Carl Fabergé, who envisioned his creations to be both emotive and captivating.

This extraordinary timepiece is paired with a striking turquoise alligator strap, which adds a vibrant splash of colour to the watch. For those who appreciate options, this exquisite edition comes with an additional black satin strap, ensuring that every piece is as versatile as it is breathtakingly beautiful.

Ms. Kate Lim, Regional General Manager at Sincere Fine Watches, shares her thoughts; “This collaboration beautifully highlights the shared commitment to excellence that defines our partnership. The debut of the butterfly motif, created by Fabergé in honour of Sincere’s 70th anniversary, elegantly captures the spirit of refinement and craftsmanship that we deeply value”.
