Van Cleef & Arpels continues to enchant the world of haute horlogerie with its recently expanded Extraordinary Dials™collection - a celebration of craftsmanship, imagination, and poetic storytelling.

The timepieces are not merely instruments of timekeeping; they are miniature works of art that fuse Swiss watchmaking precision with the Maison’s legendary savoir-faire in jewelry and decorative arts. Two new watch creations are now dedicated to the vitality of nature, a source of inspiration that has been dear to the Maison since its founding. Blending the aesthetics of Perlée® creations and the excellence of its métiers d’art, the Maison unveils the Perlée Extraordinaire Fruits Enchantés Myrtille and Framboise timepieces. These watches depict enchanting tableaux in which façonné enamel gives shape to sun-kissed berries’ ample curves. The luscious and sweet décors are enclosed within an ornate, round watch case.

Drawing inspiration from flora and fauna, Van Cleef & Arpels’ creations celebrate the spectacle of a benevolent nature constantly renewed. In the Maison’s collections, time flows by in harmony with the endless cycle of the seasons. This delightful collection captures the whimsical beauty of nature through joyful and colorful creations. The Perlée Extraordinaire Fruits Enchantés Framboise timepiece reveals a pair of delicate fairies engaged in lighthearted play amidst a scene of enchanted raspberries, while the Perlée Extraordinaire Fruits Enchantés Myrtille timepiece reveals a pair of delicate fairies engaged in lighthearted play amidst a scene of enchanted blueberries.

What sets this collection apart is its commitment to storytelling through craftsmanship. Van Cleef & Arpels collaborates with master artisans to ensure that each dial is a harmonious blend of technique and emotion. From the hand-engraved leaves on the case back to the diamond set in translucent enamel, every element is chosen to evoke a sense of magic and elegance.

Each dial in the collection is brought to life through a symphony of métiers d’art, including hand engraving, stone setting, enameling, and marquetry. The result is a series of vibrant, three-dimensional scenes that evoke nature, mythology, and moments of wonder. A standout addition is the Lady Arpels Jour Enchanté, which captures a graceful figure gathering flowers under the morning sun, rendered in plique-à-jour enamel and turquoise marquetry. The interplay of light and texture gives the dial a dreamlike depth, while the 41mm case frames the tableau like a precious painting.

The Extraordinary Dials™ collection also includes pieces such as Lady Arpels Soleil Féerique and Lune Féerique, each exploring celestial themes with radiant sunbeams and moonlit fairies. These watches transform the passage of time into a poetic experience, where every glance at the wrist reveals a new detail—a shimmer of gold, a flicker of enamel, or the delicate silhouette of a fairy in flight.

Limited in production and rich in detail, the Extraordinary Dials™ watches are destined for collectors who seek more than luxury—they seek narrative, artistry, and a touch of the fantastical. These creations are not just worn; they are experienced, offering a glimpse into the Maison’s enchanted universe where time dances with imagination.
