Van Cleef & Arpels
Montre Cadenas
€30,000 (Php 1,832,501.86)
Van Cleef & Arpels’s signature style developed through the 20th century, shaped by diverse influences – nature, orientalism, couture, ballet, and an imaginary world of fairytale and fantasy.
It was inspired by Jacques Arpels who would collect four-leaf clovers in his garden for luck. The concept of a four-leaf clover is usually associated with luck, but this most likely has to do with their rarity as the four leaves are a genetic mutation.
“To be lucky, you have to believe in luck,” said Jacques Arpels, and luck has been a recurring theme in Van Cleef &Arpels’ collections.
