Van Cleef & Arpels unveils the Lady Arpels Ballerine Enchantée timepiece

Van Cleef & Arpels hosted the Poetry of Time™ Exhibition for the second year in Dubai and revealed the Poetic Complication Lady Arpels Ballerine Enchantée timepiece. The comprehensive exhibition on timepieces took place in Dubai Mall’s Grand Atrium recently. The Poetic Complication Lady Arpels Ballerine Enchantée is half-dancer, half-butterfly, she perpetuates the tradition of ballerinas and fairies. While an inner corolla of champlevé enamel clothes the dancer, the outer veils like a pair of openwork wings come to life to display the time in a retrograde movement. This tableau stands out against a guilloché background, whose radiating motif adds to the dial’s vitality. Several layers of translucent Grand Feu enamel are then applied to lend depth and brilliance to the ensemble.
