Van Cleef & Arpels Poetic Wish Watch Movement & Minute Repeater Working

See more @ www.ablogtoread... Seen here are artists making the dials of the 2012 Van Cleef & Arpels Poetic Wish watches for men and women. There is a piece for men and one for women. They have 5 minute repeaters and display time only via automatons. Here you can see the innovative minute repeater working and the automatons on the dial in operation. Price for the set is over $1 million.

It must be the music, or the motif of the first watch, or a combination of both.
So absolutely surreal. So absolutely beautiful.
Ariel, do not let John utter a word of criticism regarding this piece in the next Hourtime!!
It's not 'just a three hander', it doesn't have a silly name, it's painstakingly crafted, and looks nothing like a robot turd! Do not accept anything but praise from John for this!
P.S. love you too John.

This is a master piece.

Folks, I'm very new to the ogling of high end watches, in fact I'm still rather a layman. This is quite wonderful...... this is a few seconds of vivid visual memory for an artist who preserved his unique flash of memory that defined his life from childhood.
Please......... How does this lovely piece of human effort actually reveal the time of day?

[@ReinaldoJunior2301]

I watched this vídeos a several times, but I still don't know how read this time. Realmente bonito, lindo uma obra prima da relojoaria, mas porra de hora tá marcando ?

[@aaronb3024]

+Reinaldo Junior I think I understand (yes I realize Im late). The cloud and the girl/man come together over a specific time, and where they meet marks the hour. The kite comes up to wherever the minute is. The watch doesnt exactly seem like much of a useful piece in terms of reading the time, but by god, is it beautiful.

[@ReinaldoJunior2301]

+Aaron Berkofsky : Thx Aaron, I agree it's a realy wonderful master piece!

[@everythingviral972]

@@aaronb3024 lol It doesn't tell time unless you use the minute repeater function and listen to the chimes. There are no numbers or numerals nor any hands so how would it tell time? Lol It's called an automoton...

what is it water proof to?

A sneeze from across the room.

[@abathingbrandt]

Exquisit. However it is, I think, a bit ruined by the diamonds.
