The Lady Arpels Planétarium
COLLABORATION WITH VAN CLEEF & ARPELS
In 2018, the legendary Van Cleef & Arpels is turning its gaze toward the sky to unveil a version of the Midnight Planétarium™ watch specially designed for women. Expressing the Poetry of Time® by Van Cleef & Arpels, this creation once again conveys the celestial ballet with an exclusive new module, developed in Switzerland in collaboration with Christiaan van der Klaauw. While Mercury, Venus and Earth rotate around the sun at their actual speeds, the diamond Moon completes its sparkling orbit in 29.53 days. Winner of the prestigious Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve (GPHG) in 2018 in Geneva in the category Ladies’ Complication.
