A master of the art of telling ticking stories in its watches, at SIHH Van Cleef & Arpels presents a sequel to the lovers meeting and kissing on last year's bridge within two watches: one for madame and one for monsieur.
The biggest news is that this story will be accomplished with the help of Van Cleef & Arpels' very first full caliber, which was developed by celebrated watchmaker Jean-Marc Wiederrecht and his team at Agenhor.

At the center of all and encased within a movement characterized by a mysterious “hole” in the center is the sonnerie mechanism that breathes life into automatons on the dial – moving figures that tell the story. A dial comprising several levels is available in two totally different versions and was primarily realized by master engraver Olivier Vaucher.
Discover the entire scope of Poetic Wish and other mechanical miracles during the SIHH right here at Worldtempus. Follow us on Facebook for each day's “heartbeats” and impressions of the fair.
