Van Cleef &Arpels Koi watch
Whether you like fish or not, you can’t help but be attracted to the stunning masterpiece Van Cleef & Arpels calls the Carpe Koi watch. A bracelet watch with dial hidden within the Koi’s mouth, the Carpe Koi is a true demonstration of the French Jewelry House’s design and craftsmanship skills.
The creation of this watch takes thousands of hours.
Created with a life-like presence,the Koi is crafted in gold, and meticulously set with thousands of precious gemstones that include diamonds, sapphires, spessartine, spinels, amethysts, tourmalines and more. The workmanship includes hand carving the gold to set the gemstones, setting the stones, and finishing and polishing the cuff bracelet — all of which takes just about 3,500 man hours.
