Monsieur Arpels Tourbillon Vendôme
The Monsieur Arpels Tourbillon involves one of the most sophisticated techniques of fine watch making. This mechanism, which eliminates the occasional discrepancies caused by gravitational pull, is one of the most ingenious devices in watch making.
Thanks to exceptional technical mastery, “Monsieur Arpels Tourbillon” is housed in an ultra-flat case.
Van Cleef & Arpels has made this complex mechanical device a distinctive decorative motif as well; placed at 12 o'clock, the Tourbillon's cage evokes the famous column in the Place Vendôme, and the column's rotation indicates the seconds. A counter at six o'clock indicates the movement's power reserve.
With the elegance and special savoir-faire for which the House has always been renowned, the back of the watch has a sapphire glass that reveals the drapé decor in natural black mother-of-pearl. The watch's ultra-sophisticated movement is thus revealed combining the elegance of white gold with the subtle luxury of mother-of-pearl
These new creations represent the perfect alliance between the extreme complexity of the Tourbillon movement and the centenary know-how of the House providing the hand-setting technique for brilliant-cut and baguette-cut diamonds on the case and dial .These diamonds are all of Van Cleef & Arpels exceptional quality: only DEF colour and VVS clarity are accepted for these exquisite pieces.
