Poetic Astronomy

For more than a century, Van Cleef & Arpels has pursued the dream of living in time with the cosmos. Awed by the spectacle of the stars and the heavens, the Maison pays tribute to celestial wonders through creations that express the full scope of its expertise. This year, the Maison is observing the Moon’s subtle variations through the new watch Midnight Jour Nuit Phase de Lune. The time of Poetic Astronomy flows in harmony from one time zone to another, within an elegant setting that gives pride of place to enamel.

Gaze at the night sky

The Midnight Jour Nuit Phase de Lune watch features two overlapping complications housed within the case. The first animates the eponymous Jour/Nuit display, while the second “astronomical” complication illustrates the current Moon phase, a feature that entered the watchmaking history of Van Cleef & Arpels in 1929.
