Mido - Rainflower Collection

Inspired by the botanical splendour of Singapore's ArtScience Museum, Mido's new Rainflower displays a beautiful blue mother-of-pearl dial, at the centre of which sits a delicate and hypnotic lotus flower. The serenity of the blue and the luminosity of the mother-of-pearl are accentuated by eight diamonds positioned in place of the hour markers and the tone-on-tone pearlised flange. The Rainflower, a veritable ode to Zen-like composure, features a polished steel case housing the Calibre 80, a latest-generation automatic movement guaranteeing up to 80 hours of power reserve. The transparent case back allows one to admire the finely decorated movement with its delicately engraved oscillating weight - a refined detail that will be appreciated by all fans of fine mechanical watchmaking. With its distinctive floral design, this ethereal model writes a new chapter in Mido history: the Rainflower is in fact the brand's first collection inspired by architecture to be dedicated exclusively to ladies. With its white petals open to the Singapore sky, the ArtScience Museum seems to float on water. The lotus blossom shape and the minimalist, resolutely modern design were therefore the inspiration for Mido's Rainflower collection. Rainwater is collected from the roof of the building to be reused. Sustainability is therefore at the heart of this architectural icon and unites it with the Mido watches, designed to defy the passage of time. It was this feature of the building that inspired the brand to choose the name Rainflower for this women's collection. Pure lines, soft curves and a reference to the splendour of the plant world are characteristics that the Rainflower collection shares with this building. The first model in this new family perfectly embodies its character: the Rainflower collection celebrates a refined and sparkling femininity. The dial, with its floral design and date display at 6 o'clock, can be admired through the double-sided anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The Rainflower, water-resistant to 3 bar (30 metres), is completed by an elegant dark blue leather strap with crocodile pattern and steel folding clasp. The new collection is completed by three other models, all with unique details: the soft sensuality of pink in various shades on the case and strap, enhanced by delightful pink sapphires; the timelessness of the white grainé dial adorned with Roman numerals with pink gold PVD treatment; or the bold character of brown mother-of-pearl, with a leather strap in a matching colour.
