It takes a certain kind of mystique to make the passage of time an otherworldly experience.

Cue Van Cleef & Arpels, and its affinity for the cosmos, to dial said experience up with its latest celestial-themed offering, the Midnight Jour Nuit Phase de Lune watch.

An homage to the moon, this timepiece features two complications: the first animates the maison’s Jour/Nuit display, while the second “astronomical” complication illustrates the current moonphase.

A sparkling sun moves across the dial, making room for the mother-of-pearl moon, clocking its wearer’s day-to-night experience in spectacular fashion.

For the most passionate wrist-gazer, this beauty is heaven-sent.
