As a well-known jewelry watch maker, Van Cleef and Arpels design elegant and superbly crafted men and women watches. Originally, a family-owned operation with brothers Charles, Julien and Louis Arpels, along with Alfred Van Cleef, their brother-in-law, the company sustains its superior craftsmanship to the present time. Their fine line of vintage dress watches are a worthwhile investment even in today's economic uncertainty.
Qualities seen in the Men's 18K gold watch include a self-winding movement completely encased in an 18K gold with brushed, gold bracelet polished to perfection. The listed price is just under $14,000. You will be amazed by the 8 mm thick case with its 36 mm diameter.
On the women's side, Van Cleef and Arpels Classique Women's Dress watch (Model 11603) is a diamond-studded, (a double row of 112 round-cut) 1.5 carats total, prong-set beauty on a square bezel. White gold, 18 carats, make up the exquisite case on a black alligator band. Swiss quartz movement is a final design detail and it is priced at $11,500. Another Women's Dress watch sports 120 dazzling round-cut diamonds, prong set on a round bezel. It is similarly encased in 18K gold, but yellow in this instance, and with a brown alligator band and matching yellow gold buckle. It's listed price is $11,200.
Overall, when shopping for a timepiece there are endless choices for both men and women. Selecting a watch is equally as much a fashion statement as it is about being aware of the time. Elegant, famous, superbly designed watches can be costly depending on the design, materials and workmanship that goes into creating the timepiece. Most people cannot afford the exclusively designed jewelry watches from reputable companies like Van Cleef and Arpels. However, for those who can afford these designer watches, the classic quality and craftsmanship is well worth the cost. When Van Cleef and Arpels is mentioned, people think about magnificence, beauty and quality. Their watches are intriguing, complex timepieces with an artistic touch. They make wonderful gifts and heirlooms to be passed from father to son or from mother to daughter because of their durable classic design and durability. So the next time you're in the market for a gift for that special someone, consider an elegantly functional timepiece from a highly respected jewelry watch designer that is sure to bring a sigh of pleasure from the one on the receiving end of your generosity.
