In Van Cleef & Arpels’ garden, the Dahlia Secret High Jewelry watch unfolds its corolla upon a mount adorned with precious leaves. Thanks to a system of subtle articulations, the petals quiver when touched, mimicking the sway of nature in the breeze. Each one is sculpted in volume, hand-worked and mirror polished to bring out intense reflections.

The petals each envelop a closed-set diamond, illuminated by the 1.59-carat central diamond. Next to the sparkling gem, three round yellow sapphires indicate the position of the secret mechanism: slight pressure on this discreet fastener reveals the dial, adorned with spessartite garnets.
