chasing WAVES

CORALIE CHARRIOL leaves her mark as the successor to her father's namesake label.

AT THE BREAK OF DAWN, the sun’s hues of orange have started to bleed into the Pesangan sea’s blue canvas. The Philippine sunrise was a view that Coralie Charriol had both appreciated and grown accustomed to throughout her many trips to the country over the years.

In retrospect, Coralie has always had a deep connection with the sun. This admiration began when her late father Philippe Charriol, founder of the eponymous jewelry and watch house, would travel from one sunrise to the next as a businessman. “He was always following the sun,” Coralie says.

While continuing in her father’s footsteps Coralie found herself at different corners of the world. Immersing in various cultures had become second nature, and living life differently and daringly from her contemporaries had become the norm.
