Van Cleef & Arpels is expanding its Jour Nuit collection with the introduction of a new creation in honor of the Moon, a long-standing source of inspiration for the Maison. The watch features two overlapping complications housed within a 42 mm white gold case. The first animates the eponymous Jour/Nuit display, while the second astronomical complication illustrates the current Moon phase.
The dial beams with the intense sparkle of a black Murano aventurine glass sky, achieving a shimmering bronze-toned effect that calls to mind the full beauty of the night sky.
Over the course of the day, the guilloché golden Sun gradually gives way to a Moon fashioned in white mother-of-pearl. Their daily pursuit is made possible by the movement of a 24-hour rotating disc, while a second disc transfigures the satellite to echo its eternal 29.5-day cycle.
