Spring is finally here, so we thought we’d show you a stunning timepiece by Van Cleef & Arpels which perfectly epitomizes the season’s vibrant beauty.
Dubbed the Charms Extrordinaire Désir watch, it is the latest iteration of the maison’s Charms Extraordinaire collection, and saw its debut during the 2015 SIHH. It comes with a mother-of-pearl dial adorned with lilacs and crocuses crafted in cabochonné enamel, as well as glittering pink sapphires, amethysts, and yellow gold details. Concealed by a 32 mm white gold case is a quartz movement, while the bezel is set diamonds, in addition to pink and purple sapphires. The caseback, on the other hand, features an engraving depicting the same flower visible on the dial. Finally, pink alligator strap with a white gold diamond studded buckle rounds off the look of this truly eye-catching timepiece.
The Désir is one of just three Charms Extrordinaire watches which are part of Van Cleef & Arpels` flower-inspired Langage de Fleurs series (the others being Amour and Espérance). You can see more of this remarkable creation in the gallery below.
