Switzerland, April 9 - 15, 2024 -- Van Cleef & Arpels outdid themselves at the annual Watches & Wonder, a week-long luxury event in Geneva.
The Parisian jeweler took four years to create an approximately foot-high automaton entitled Apparition des Baies (or Appearance of Berries).
The wonderful wind-up is composed of a dalmatian jasper timekeeping base; a pink thulite bowl; and 112 lacquered leaves, which fold out and reveal a white-gold, diamond and sapphire bird sitting atop a rose-gold branch.
Stunning and magical. Price upon request.
