Great to see this gem finally being posted!
Seldom has a 42mm dress watch looked so good. Credit to the lugs! And I have always loved that dial. Enjoy your special timepiece. Many would not consider a watch from Van Cleef but this watch is an excellent creation by any standards. If it was a Piaget, it would have won accolades!
Pierre Arpels by Van Cleef & Arpels
These days so many watches are getting the label 'dress watch' but I think this ultra flat 'Pierre Arpels' really ticks al boxes. George ...
You right Geo
A watch called a dresser if it’s elegant. Your Arpels is nice, i saved one at chrono24. I do it with more watches to look how long they are on sale before they sold.
I am sure it will be there for some time
There is a beautiful one in Japan, the same one as I posted actually. It is hard to understand, but these pieces do not sell well. Unbelievable actually, because they are a different world, especially when compared to the small quartz pieces from the past...

Yes I am aware of that
But a Piaget on the dial would have resulted in this watch being more popular. It is therefore a stealth dress watch as it has a good movement with a brand that is less well known for its watches. It makes the watch even more exclusive.
I think this is the first post I’ve seen of any VcA watches and it looks really nice!
With the lug design and how nicely it wears on your wrist, i could not have guessed 42mm. Beautiful, and thanks for posting!
The deep mind and more
To understand why VcA have not more post than 1. I replied i saved one. We shall spit deeper into the subject, why WPS not know VcA more than we want. Is it a name? Do most only buy a watch for the sake of it’s brand name? No, because movements are belove...
Thanks for sharing Geo
I didn’t know VC&A has such an elegant man watch. It makes me check out their Pierre Arpels Collection. They have this beautiful Heure d’Ici & Heure d’Ailleurs which is an elegant implementation of a dual time complication, with double jumping digital hou...
The Heure d'ici & Heure d'Ailleurs is an amazing watch
I had the watch two weeks to write an article about it for Revolution. That caliber is a piece of art. George revolution.watch
Thanks for sharing the link Geo
Very well written. I need to go check this piece out at the boutique soon!
The watch has a manual-winding mechanical movement by Piaget (830P) with 60-hour power reserve
and the case of the 42mm (or 38mm) is 6,5mm. George
Very good question
From any other brand, I would probably have picked the 38mm model, in general, I prefer smaller watches. But when I saw them both next to each other, the 42mm case did it for me. The fact that you do not feel the watch on your wrist, helps a lot too. Geor...
Shrug
VanC and A are far more talented than this one... their jewelry is breathtaking, and I do not 'care about ' jewelry. They make me notice jewelry. This watch is 'meh.'
