High jewelry house Van Cleef & Arpels prides itself on its reputation for creativity and, with the quantiemes de saisons Les Jardins watches at SIHH 2009, continues to deliver feminine and intimate interpretations of time.

With this series of four watches, each of which is limited to 100 pieces, four gardens have inspired the creation of four Grand Feu enamel dials. Each dial is partially hidden by a sublime mother-of-pearl section that plays a crucial role in the magic of these watches.

Aside from being incredibly striking, these dials (fired at 800 degrees Celsius) rotate on the 365-day pattern of the brand’s 2006 poetic complication. This of course means that one’s perspective on the dial changes every day. Each version is in white gold, with diamonds and alligator straps.
