The Lady Arpels Poetic Wish continues the tradition, started by Van Cleef & Arpels with the Poetic Wish collection in 2006, of using a watch to tell a story as well as the time. This model is one half of a pair for 2012 that feature the story of two young lovers in Paris.
The patented mechanical movement has a 60-hour power reserve and operates a 5-minute repeater function that strikes the time using centrally mounted hammers, while at the same time an animation takes place on the dial.
