Lady Arpels Heures Florales Cerisier watch
A tribute to the nature that has fascinated Van Cleef & Arpels’ ever since 1906, the Lady Arpels Heures Florales Cerisier watch draws inspiration from the floral clock concept, developed by Carl Linnaeus in his 1751 book Philosophia Botanica. Reinterpreting his hypothetical garden, the watch’s animation shows a nature in movement, inspired by the cycle of flowers opening and closing depending on the time of the day. Time is told by counting the number of opened flowers, with a new combination renewing the dial’s scenery every 60 minutes.
Lady Arpels Pont des Amoureux watch
Born out of a love story, Van Cleef & Arpels has always paid homage to the poetry of romances. This tradition continues today with creations featuring love stories. United by tender feelings, two lovers plan to rendezvous on a bridge in Paris. Respectively marking the hours and minutes with a retrograde movement, they move towards each other for a kiss. Their every embrace takes place under the sign of love.
