Two new additions to the popular Sweet Alhambra watch

Echoing the tradition of chain watches born in 17th-century Europe, Van Cleef & Arpels' new pendant watch announces the time with the elegance of a noble pendant, while gracefully complementing the silhouette of the woman who wears it. This collection marks the passage of time at the end of a long necklace chain, as if celebrating the poetry of discreetly concealed moments.

The first secret pendant watch in the Alhambra Collection, a symbol of good fortune inspired by the four-leaf clover, merges the Maison's signature refined jewelry style with the tradition of secret watches. With a simple gesture, the stone-adorned motif rotates to reveal the watch face.

The collection comprises three models. Two models, featuring the striking brilliance of guilloché-engraved gold, reveal a white mother-of-pearl dial beneath a rose gold motif. In another model, entirely set with diamonds, a guilloché yellow gold dial is concealed within a case of dazzling radiance.

The third model combines the soft glow of rose gold with the warm hue of carnelian, its hidden white mother-of-pearl dial delicately adorned with diamonds.

Additionally, two new creations enrich the popular Sweet Alhambra collection. The dials, framed by two rows of gold beads, are graced with turquoise and lapis lazuli, rare and precious materials. Diamonds line the inner bezel, enhancing the beauty of the ornamental stones and accentuating the contrast with yellow gold.
