The Van Cleef & Arpels Lady Arpels Jour Enchanté Watch features a delicate scene of a figure picking flowers in the morning sun. Light passes through white gold, plique-à-jour enamel, and diamonds, illuminating a vibrant flower field. The flowers, set with yellow sapphires, appear in relief due to a new façonné enamel technique. The feminine figure, crafted from white gold with pearly-white plique-à-jour enamel wings, stands out with a luminous transparency effect.
The background showcases a sky with three turquoise shades and a sun made of spessartite garnets, colored sapphires, or diamonds, secured with an innovative lifted setting for a dewdrop-like appearance. The back of the case features an engraved fairy taking flight. This dial took two years and 180 hours to complete.
The façonné enamel involves sculpting enamel on a stainless-steel base, firing it at low and then high temperatures to achieve a smooth, luminous finish. The setting in enamel technique sets precious stones in plique-à-jour enamel without metal, creating a floating effect. This watch exemplifies Van Cleef & Arpels’ ingenuity and renowned artistry.
