THE GRACE OF DANCE
Van Cleef & Arpels has long been inspired by the ballet, releasing its first ballerina clips in the 1940s. The maison’s latest dance inspired collection was presented at a recent London performance of Benjamin Millepied’s new ballet. The Clip Ballerine Flocon de Neige is one piece from the heavenly new collection, which features graceful dancers studded with white gold, diamonds, yellow sapphires, and white and golden mother-of-pearl.

The Velvet by Massaro trilogy is Roger Dubuis’ and Massaro’s tribute to the 1950s Hollywood golden age and the iconic women who personified the era: Rita Hayworth, Greta Garbo and Lana Turner. The Hayworth-inspired watch features a pleated leather motif, a yellow gold barrel-shaped velvet centre of the dial, framed by radiating hour-markers on a satin sunburst exterior.
