Few watchmakers imbue timekeeping with the magic of storytelling quite like Van Cleef & Arpels. This year, the Maison continues its whimsical tradition with the Perlée Extraordinaire Fruits Enchantés watches — a luscious ode to summer fruits, artistry, and imagination.
Crafted with the brand’s signature blend of savoir-faire and narrative charm, the new Framboise and Myrtille models are as much miniature sculptures as they are haute horology. The dials showcase a pair of radiant berries, one raspberry, one blueberry, rendered in the Maison’s exclusive façonné enamel technique. These settings are framed by a golden bead case and adorned with diamonds, perfected over 16 months and now patented.
Delicate gold fairies dance across the dial, their wings twinkling with pavé-set diamonds, while engraved ladybugs and butterflies decorate the case backs. These delightful details are the result of hundreds of hours of intricate craftsmanship, including enamel pouring and sculpting to gold engraving and gem setting — all performed by Van Cleef & Arpels’ skilled artisans in Geneva.
Part of the Extraordinary Dials collection, these fruity creations are a sweet reminder that beauty lies in the smallest details.
