Van Cleef & Arpels has launched a beautiful new collection of extraordinary dials that depict the signs of the Zodiac – the Van Cleef & Arpels Lady Arpels Zodiac Collection.

The new Van Cleef & Arpels Lady Arpels Zodiac collection is inspired by the jewelry collection created by the brand back in the 1950’s. At that time, Van Cleef & Arpels released a full range of golden medallions, featuring the signs of the Western Zodiac, which were intended to be worn as talismans. This is not unusual at all, if we remember that the symbol of luck echoes through the Maison’s creations for almost 100 years. Even today, the Maison is quoting Jacques Arpels - the famous nephew its founder Estelle Arpels – who used to say that “to be lucky, you must believe in luck.”
Van Cleef & Arpels Extraordinary Dials™ Lady Arpels Zodiac Virgo (Earth)
In its poetic vision of the world, Van Cleef & Arpels keeps creating its extraordinary jewelry and watches, decorated with the signs of luck: four-leaf clovers, unicorns, fairies, lady birds, horseshoes, dragons… all those magical creatures pointing to the mysterious complexity of the world, and the secret forces that are at our fingertips. A myriad of lucky symbols is this year enriched with a collection of twelve limited edition watches that depict the signs of the Western Zodiac: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.
Van Cleef & Arpels Extraordinary Dials™ Lady Arpels Zodiac Pisces (Water)
All of the Van Cleef & Arpels Lady Arpels Zodiac watches are crafted from white gold and they measure 38mm in diameter. The cases are rimmed with a diamond-set bezel, but each of the dials is different, as it depicts its own zodiac-inspired story using various craft skills, specific engravings, and enamel of different colors (either green, dark blue, light blue or red). The zodiac motifs are sculpted with gold, engraved and set with precious stones. The rose cut diamonds are used for the faces of the figurines and then combined with elements made from semi-precious stones, or mother-of-pearl.
Van Cleef & Arpels Extraordinary Dials™ Lady Arpels Zodiac Aquarius (Air)
Van Cleef & Arpels Lady Arpels Zodiac watches are powered by the manual-winding mechanical movement, which drives indications for hours and minutes. The movements are covered with solid case-back covers, engraved with the image of the depicted constellation. Each model from the Van Cleef & Arpels Lady Arpels Zodiac collection is issued in a limited edition of 22 watches, and it arrives on a leather strap in matching color.
