Van Cleef & Arpels Complications Poétiques Femme

The Complications Poétiques Femme (Poetic Complications for Women) collection by Van Cleef & Arpels showcases various themes: fairies, stars, seasons, designed by master watchmakers and jewelers.

Born from the imagination of Van Cleef & Arpels and created to enhance the beauty of gestures and to trigger perpetual wonder, the concept of a poetic complication has endowed fine watch-making with a new dimension.

In this spirit, technical complexity is at the service of aesthetics. Behind each curved-out mirror, characters come alive as if by magic, motifs are created; they evolve or change according to the time or seasons.

Each dial is thus transformed into a scene from a fairytale. This enchanting interpretation of time offers hand-enamelled and hand-painted design upon which to read time.
