Immerse yourself in the poetic world of Van Cleef & Arpels as the Maison unveils the Lady Arpels Bal des Amoureux Automate at this year’s Watches and Wonders in Geneva. Continuing the tender narrative of the beloved Pont des Amoureux, this new creation invites us to a romantic rendezvous in 19th-century Paris.

A charming guinguette scene unfolds on the dial, where a cobblestone path in white gold evokes the historic streets of the French capital. The subtle interplay of grisaille and colored grisaille enamel paints a dreamlike night sky in delicate chiaroscuro, while festive lanterns light the stage with soft, enchanting glow.

At the heart of the watch, two lovers move slowly toward each other, brought to life by a remarkable automaton movement. At both noon and midnight, they unite in a gentle kiss—a moment of emotion that repeats like a romantic ritual, day after day. More than a timepiece, the Lady Arpels Bal des Amoureux Automate is a mechanical love story. It is a celebration of horological artistry and emotional storytelling, where technical mastery meets the timeless elegance and imagination of Van Cleef & Arpels.
