Secret Duo

Description

Watchmaking and Jewellery: a poetic unionFor Van Cleef Arpels, mechanisms are not restricted to Watchmaking alone: they can also reveal an ingenious secret. The Secret watch is a stunning Jewellery piece that conceals time from the eyes of others in a precious drawer. In 2008, the new creation of the House allows the woman of the twenty-first century to look upon her timepiece with mystery and elegance with a watch dedicated to travelling: with two separate drawers, the Secret Duo watch indicates time of two different time zones. The legend of the sea horseSecret duo plunges us into the depths of the lost world of Atlantis. The House recreates this fantasy world ruled by Neptune and his wife Cleito, escorted by a cortege of nymphs and mermaids.The small marine animal, which is set on the Secret Duo case, is without a doubt one of the fascinating sea creatures in existence. Its body is armored and its splayed fins are set in pink gold. Its head brings out all the splendor of pink gold, and its diamond eye gives it an air of mystery. The contrast of the pink gold with the intensity of the black lacquer shows off this mythological creature in brilliant fashion.Half way between a horse and a fish, the duality of the sea horse brings together the best aspects of the terrestrial and sub-aquatic animal worlds.
