Charms Extraordinaire Fée Sakura
Van Cleef & Arpels 2017
Charms Extraordinaire Fée Sakura square
Unveiled for the opening of the Ginza boutique, this
watch is inspired by cherry trees in bloom. The dial employs artistic crafts to
depict Enchanting Nature, with sculpted, hand-painted mother-of-pearl for the cherry
blossoms and cabochonné enamel for the corollas in the foreground, creating an
opalescent effect. The fairy in sculpted white gold unfolds her diamond wings.
Around the bezel, a further two rows of diamonds encircle a palette of pink
sapphires. Three flowers on the back of the case portray the stages from a barely-opened
bud to the flower in full bloom. A diamond and pink sapphire charm lends the
finishing touch to this miniature tableau.
