Van Cleef & Arpels Charms Extraordinaire Amour – Exquisite High Jewellery Watch
The Van Cleef & Arpels Charms Extraordinaire Amour is a poetic high jewellery watch unveiled at SIHH 2015. This exquisite timepiece combines enamel miniature painting and masterful gem-setting craftsmanship to depict a delicate floral composition on the dial.
Van Cleef & Arpels Charms Extraordinaire Amour – Artistic Dial and Symbolism
The dial features three symbolic flowers: the Wallflower representing memory, engraved in gold and enamel; the Forget-Me-Not representing beauty, painted in miniature at the top of the dial; and a drop-cut pink sapphire cyclamen bud symbolizing emotion. Together, they create a vibrant, poetic scene.
