The wedding of Estelle Arpels and Alfred Van Cleef in 1895 was the starting point of the beautiful story of Van Cleef & Arpels, and that’s perhaps the reason why the brand has captured our imaginations for more than a century. Inspired by couture, nature and fantasy, Van Cleef & Arpels has romanced us with its motifs of fairies, ballerinas and florals. The brand brings the same sensitivity and emotion to its timepieces. The Poetic Complications collection brings together its watchmaking prowess and jewellery expertise to transform dials into enchanting spectacles that tell the story of the stars, the story of the fairies, the story of two lovers who meet for a fleeting kiss on a bridge at midnight, and this year, the story of dance.
