Inspired by the pocket watches that appeared in 17th-century Europe, the Perlée secret pendant watches from Van Cleef & Arpels take the form of curved and colourful pendants. True pieces of jewelry, they are worn on a long necklace and accompany one’s silhouette.
To check the time discreetly, all one must do is rotate the bejeweled motif to reveal the dial.
Three of these precious watches accent the brilliance of the signature beads with the intense hues of colored precious gems. Rubies respond to the tender nuances of rose gold (featured here), while sapphires and emeralds harmonize with the solar brilliance of yellow gold. First introduced in the collection on jewelry creations, these gems distinguish themselves by their intense color, demonstrating Van Cleef & Arpels’ attachment to precious stones.
