Let me first apologize for failing to get a photograph of an important (to some), yet subtle, detail on this watch. The crown on this new Pierre Arpels watch – on all versions – has an inset diamond.

Van Cleef & Arpels Poetic Wish Watches Hands-On
Van Cleef & Arpels probably makes the world’s most beautiful watches… that I would not wear. Of course they have plenty of watches I would strap on in a heartbeat, but they are just too nice. Too much work goes into making this art. Plus, many of them are for women. I wouldn’t want to [...]
Van Cleef & Aprels Latérale Watch Hands-On
Released in about 2006, this is one of those rare Van Cleef & Arpels watches meant for men. Though I do believe moving forward the brand will focus on men’s pieces a bit more. The Latérale is named as such for a very cool little complication on the side of the watch where the power [...]
Van Cleef & Arpels “Art On The Dial” Allows For Convenient Custom Watches

Van Cleef & Arpels Pont des Amoureux Watch
This is a very interesting and nice to look at women’s watch from Van Cleef & Arpels. If I was a woman, then I would likely start saving up for one. Pennies, nickles, and dimes until I reached $116,000. The watch is the Pont des Amoureux, which means lover’s bridge. The complication makes it such [...]

One can always expect beautiful artistic watch creations from Van Cleef & Arpels each year at SIHH. Not that any of the watches are affordable to the lay person. For examples these models are all in platinum. They are highly primed for visual appreciation. Of the 2010′s new collections from Van Cleef & Arpels is [...]
Van Cleef & Arpels Watches At SIHH 2009 Video
One of my favorite watch makers from a novelty standpoint is Van Cleef & Arpels. There is always a little bit of magic in their watches. In the video, the current philosophy behind the brand’s watches is made very clear. Essentially they admit that people need watches less today (than in the past) to tell [...]
