Van Cleef & Arpels
The creative minds within the
Van Cleef & Arpels manufacture have designed a romantic-themed
Pont des Amoureux watch. Developed with true women in mind, the design of this novelty exudes passion for living in love.
A true work of art, the dial of the new Van Cleef & Arpels watch captures the time in a very special manner. The
retrograde display reveals
miniature figurines of a man and a woman, setting off to meet at the famous arch bridge over the Thiou River in Annecy, France. The delicate figure of the woman, carrying an umbrella, substitutes the hour hand. The man, secretly holding a flower behind his back, serves to indicate the minutes. Upon hitting 12 o’clock, the lovers meet at the center for a kiss - a remarkable detail that further enhances the romantic mood of the model.
At the heart of the Van Cleef & Arpels watch is beating a
modified Jaeger-LeCoultre hand-wound mechanical movement. It operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and provides a
39-hour power reserve.
