Van Cleef & Arpels Reimagines the Iconic Cadenas WatchSince its creation in 1935, the Cadenas watch has stood as one of Van Cleef & Arpels’ most emblematic designs—an icon of both timekeeping and style. Its distinctive silhouette, inspired by the padlock, has long symbolized strength and unity, while its angled dial offered the discreet elegance of reading time in confidence.

This year, the Maison unveils a new interpretation of the legend, a creation that balances heritage with high jewellery artistry. The clasp of its supple double snake chain bracelet glides seamlessly around the wrist, transforming the watch into a jewel in motion.

The latest iteration shimmers in yellow gold, its case entirely paved with a snow setting of brilliant diamonds, each stone seemingly scattered like stardust. A luminous row of princess-cut sapphires lends a stroke of regal intensity, a touch of color that elevates the watch from timeless to transcendent.

Faithful to its original spirit yet boldly reimagined, the new Cadenas is more than a timepiece—it is a jewel of secrecy, elegance, and allure, linking past to present with fluid grace.
