From Grimms’ fantastical stories of the nineteenth century to modern Disney animated films, fairies often represent joyousness, hope and dream. These mythic creatures are able to evoke pleasant memories of everyone‘s imagination-imbued childhood.

The present wristwatch, the Arpels Féerie, made by the highly-esteemed Van Cleef & Arpels, brings the magical wonders from fairy tales into a tangible object. Thanks to its ingenious bi-retrograde movement, the fairy figure on the dial, fascinatingly adorned with fine diamonds, points out the hour with her magic wand, while one of her delicate wings draw the hours. The eye is drawn from the diamond-set fairy figure to the gorgeously crafted blue guilloché enamel dial. The dazzling silhouette of the fairy pops out from the graceful guilloche-patterned blue dial, further inspiring awes of its beholders. The breathtakingly beautiful blue dial is complimented with a matching satin strap.

A watch is not simply a timekeeping tool. Today, more and more women appreciate the charm of a complex movement, particularly if it is matched with a wondrous, truly appealing look. A wondrous amalgamation of fine jewelry and Haute Horlogerie, the present lot epitomizes the best of both worlds.
