The sand of Malo-les-Bains captured in an exceptional watch
The Dunkerque 1940 collection features several crystals crafted from sand from the beach at Malo-les-Bains. Harvested under exemption from the Coastal Protection Agency, this sand is entrusted to the Val-Saint-Lambert crystal factory and then cut by our approved laboratory. Each grain has its own story, giving each piece a unique character. The collection is limited to 500 numbered pieces.
“We will fight on the beaches, we will fight on the landing fields, we will fight in the fields and in the streets, we will fight in the hills; we will never surrender.”
— - Sir Winston S. Churchill - June 4, 1940
Dunkirk, at the heart of memory
The city of Dunkirk authorized the inclusion of the operation's official coat of arms, a tribute to the courage of the civilians and soldiers who participated in this extraordinary evacuation. This partnership reinforces the project's legitimacy and its legacy. The Val-Saint-Lambert crystal factory also contributed to this piece, crafting the crystals from sand from Malo-les-Bains. Also recognized by the "Little Ships" community, this collection serves as a reminder of the important role these civilian ships played in saving lives.
