Van Cleef & Arpels, renowned for its timeless creations, introduces the High Jewellery Ludo Secret watch, a breathtaking evolution of the iconic Ludo bracelet that debuted in 1934. This new masterpiece seamlessly blends purity and refinement, capturing the essence of Van Cleef & Arpels' legacy.
Drawing inspiration from the original Ludo bracelet, the Ludo Secret watch features a flexible mesh reminiscent of a belt, adorned with a buckle set with precious stones. The guilloché yellow gold aesthetic, unveiled this year, pays homage to a century-old technique mastered by the Maison, creating a captivating interplay of light that evolves throughout the day.
In its rose gold variations, the watch boasts settings of pink sapphires or diamonds, skillfully arranged to radiate from the center. The supple brick-link mesh is meticulously crafted by hand, ensuring optimal articulation and flexibility. True to the tradition of Van Cleef & Arpels' secret watches, simultaneous pressure on the gem-set motifs unveils a guilloché white mother-of-pearl dial, adding an element of mystery and sophistication.
As the Ludo bracelet marks its 89th anniversary, the transition to the High Jewellery Ludo Secret watch showcases the Maison's commitment to innovation and timeless elegance. This ultra-modern design not only tells the time but also serves as a dazzling accessory, exalting the wrist like a finely woven fabric.
