FASHION FIRST GHT ON THE NEWSPOTLI IN WITH It was only a matter of time before the golden beads of Van Cleef & Arpels IMAGE COURTESY OF VAN CLEEF & ARPELS. found their way onto high-end watches F or more than 70 years, Van Cleef & Arpels gold beads have been a motif of the French luxury jewellery house. They first stepped on stage back in the 1920s to support and surround rare gems, played a bigger part in the 1940s, and then the tiny orbs took the spotlight with the 2008 launch of the ever-popular Perlée range. While the baubles of yellow, white and rose gold have adorned necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings, they’ve found a new starring role on the latest range of watches: surrounding the small and feminine dials in a burst of sunshine. Each watch combines the best of French jewellery design and Swiss watchmaking savoir faire, with time set by pushing a button on the back of the case that is hidden away when worn. Made to suit all sartorial moods, each Perlée timepiece comes with an interchangeable fabric band along with a flexible bracelet – though the undisputed showstopper is the wrist-hugging bracelet made entirely of the maison’s golden spheres. The result is elegant, timeless and perfectly Perlée. Van Cleef & Arpels Perlée watch, $44,100.

Truth- telling and treaties will help us create a shared history – one that goes back more than 60,000 years.
