Description

The Lady Arpels collection has doted itself with a new complication that combines grace and beauty with Watchmaking know-how.The Lady Arpels Night/Day dial turns almost imperceptibly on a 24 hour cycle. Mystery melts into dreams on the dial dresses with opposing and yet complementary elements: the Sun and the Moon.The intensity of the immaculate blue of the aventurine cloaks time in its voluptuous shades creating a unique background against which both celestial bodies can shine in all their splendor. Continuing in the same spirit as the Poetic Complications, Van Cleef 6 Arpels wanted to marry the notion of day and night, elegantly symbolizing this absolute dimension that inhabits us all.The Sun and the Moon follow each other in a never ending chase, always appearing to be on the verge of reaching each other and yet never quite making it.
