Time For Technicolor

VAN CLEEF & ARPELS

From the maison’s Sous les Étoiles collection is this high jewellery version of the Lady Arpels Planétarium model. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Moon come to life, thanks to an exclusive watch module developed in partnership with astronomical watch specialist, Christiaan van der Klaauw. The celestial spectacle continues around the wrist in addition to the circular trajectory of a shooting star that indicates time with poetic grace. A gradation of blue sapphires and black spinels evokes the heaven’s many mysteries, while astral bodies reimagined in diamonds, spessartite garnets and coloured sapphires punctuate the bracelet’s three-dimensional volume. Glittering lines seem to whirl towards the dial, depicted in relief to create an effect of movement. Requiring 1,370 hours of work, the astounding piece is equipped with a Swiss-made automatic movement.

HUBLOT

The second collaborative timepiece by Hublot and Takashi Murakami transforms the smiling flower, an icon of the Japanese artist, into a creation combining transparency and colour. Cut from sapphire crystal, the 45mm case of the Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Sapphire Rainbow watch is perfect foil for the joyful threedimensional bloom with 12 petals, whose polychromatic effect is achieved by 487 gemstones representing the colours of the rainbow: rubies, pink sapphires, amethysts, blue sapphires, tsavorites, yellow and orange sapphires. An ingenious Hublotdeveloped ball-bearing system allows the petals to spin as the wearer moves. Driving the 100-piece limited edition is the HUB1214 movement with a 72-hour power reserve.
