There are jewelry that, among other things, mark the time. They are no real watches, but precious items with a pair of small lancets. In short, jewelry with a small job of utilities in addition to the pleasure to shine at the sight. One example we saw in Geneva, at the annual Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie. Among the precious objects on display in the halls muffled, they stood out proposals for Van Cleef & Arpels. In particular, the Rubis Secret bracelet-watch: one piece in white and pink gold, covered with 115 oval rubies Mozambique (151.25 carats total). The stones are carefully aligned on three more files, despite the slight cutting variations, oval cushion. Each row of rubies is separated by four rows of diamonds. It is not the only “time-jewel” by Van Cleef & Arpels. Pompon is a jewel that can be worn as a necklace or a bracelet, and you can add the quartz watch in the end tassel. A style reminiscent of the 1940s and 1950s, as saus the Parisian Maison. With a little less fantasy, but with equally luxurious, are the bracelets-watches Snowflake and Fleurette Snowflake. They have more traditional forms, apart from the fact that they are covered with white diamonds: a style not very common on the subway or in the office. The first bracelet has a 20 mm platinum case with bezel, white dial and strap in platinum with diamonds. The second is a 18 mm version with a lot of the same materials, such details, but a little different. Federico Graglia
