Legendary Atlantis

Atlantis is one of those fascinating myths that, through the wealth and beauty of their domain, offer an incontestable source of artistic inspiration.
The Atlantis timepiece reflects Van Cleef & Arpels' passion for the wonders of the aquatic world. The heritage of the House becomes part of this vast world of the sea offering a new creation imbibed with levity and buoyancy.

Time is a treasure

The diamond-set Atlantis watch is a gradation of blue sapphires in a piece that is as remarkable in the flexibility and the delicacy of the curves, as by the intense blue of the stones. The structure of the bracelet echoes the fluid, light movement of the waves, wrapping themselves around the wrist with all the energy and vitality of the sea.
This timepiece of the seas is an expression of all the Jeweller's skills and expertise. First, in the choice of the stones. The watch spiral seems to imitate the movement of the waves wit a range of colors that create the perfect gradation of blue sapphire: from a nearly imperceptible blue that swirls above the spume of the waves, to the deep blue from the depths of the sea. Each piece then receives the stones, set in the finest Jeweller's tradition: two stones per link to guarantee the perfect articulation of the piece. Finally, the jeweler enhances the brilliance of the stones by a traditional punching of the links.
The arabesques of the Atlantide timepiece are a magical voyage to the deepest depths of the sea.
