Wow!
Thanks FX for this report.
I can honestly say that the lover's bridge watch is the first adorned ladies' watch that appeals to me both aesthetically and as a horological creation, to the extent that I will make a point of trying to see one when I am near a boutique and even inquire as to price before no doubt turning away sadly.
However, I would not sell the Ludwig Perpetual to finance the purchase...

A journey into Van Cleef & Arpels world
A few weeks ago, I had the chance to attend an event organized by Van Cleef & Arpels to present us the latest novelties from the brand and the partnership with the famous AD in Paris: Chronopassion. The owner of Chronopassion, Laurent Picciotto became a «...
Poetry of time
That is a great way to describe a lot the pieces in the Van Cleef & Arpel collection. True to elegance of what the the "art" of time can be. Bravo I hope to see and learn more about this collection and what else lies beneath. thanks Bill
Thanks FX for the report on VCA!
The pieces are very nice, and need to take time to observe slowly, especially the Poetic Complications. The Fairy is an icon already. The Le Pont des Amoureux – The Lovers’ Bridge is an interesting piece, do you happen to have a video? Not for...
Thanks FX
I would like to gift my wife the Fairy watch at some point in time. I seem to recall there is another fairy watch that is somekind of a retrograde complication? Is that an older model? Who does the movement for VC&A? Thanks.
WoW!!!
This piece is a stunner. I only recalled only one model for the Lady Arpels Féerie. As one of our friends was considering of purchasing for someone when it came out. The Lady Arpels Féerie us under the VCA's Poetic Complication ® range. The bi-retrograde ...
Thanks for a very relevant piece of info Kong
That Jean developed the movement and seeing I have apiece with a movement by him, this could be a fitting piece for her and a good excuse for my next in-coming As for different version, I do recall seeing one with the retrograde hour markers at the top as...
Are you serious?!
Sad and I actually prefered this for its slightly cleaner and more elegant look to this year's version. Thanks for this important bit of intel though.

VC&A was one of my favourites at SIHH. Laurent's enthusiasm for it is also unusual
since he seems to support less established and more avante garde brands. He has mentioned several times VC&A is one of the highlights of 2010. I guess I can't be wrong then. My SIHH report covering VC&A: basel.watchprosite.com - SJX
I remember the post on the lovers bridge watch, that mvmnt inside there is something else!
Kind of too bad they dont show it, but you know its there. Great post
Great watches, fantastic post
those watches are an impressive combination of horological qualities and truly (as far as one can tell with the wrong chromosome set) feminine appeal. Kudos. Andreas
On behalf of she who wears lady's watches....
"Why did they have to put diamonds around the Pont des Amoureux? Does anyone ever make a nice lady's watch without diamonds?" Which was pretty much my thought, but y'all would discount my preference for diamondless lady's pieces, not being a lady I think ...
