Close Up: Van Cleef & Arpels Lady Arpels Jour/Nuit Cerfs-Volants Poetic Complication

Luxury watchmaker Van Cleef & Arpels marked this first edition of Watches & Wonders by unveiling the Lady Arpels Jour/Nuit Cerfs-Volants, a stunning new addition to the manufacture’s iconic Cerfs-Volants Extraordinary Dials collection.

The Lady Arpels Jour/Nuit Cerfs-Volants begins with a 38mm white gold case featuring a bezel set with diamonds and a mother-of-pearl dial.

At its heart the Lady Arpels Jour/Nuit Cerfs-Volants features a self-winding mechanical movement with a 24h module developed exclusively for Van Cleef & Arpels. The disk rotates over 24 hours to reveal miniature kites against a blue degradé sky by day, and stars of white gold and diamond at night.
