Van Cleef & Arpels Brings the Poetry of Time to Hong Kong
Van Cleef & Arpels is showcasing its unique approach to watchmaking through the "Poetry of Time" exhibition in Hong Kong, which runs until February 8, 2026. The exhibition immerses visitors in the brand's creative universe, featuring a blend of archival and contemporary creations, including fine jewelry and intricate timepieces. It emphasizes storytelling, drawing inspiration from themes such as love, nature, and astronomy, making the experience both educational and enchanting. Julie Clody-Medina, President of Van Cleef & Arpels Asia-Pacific, highlights the importance of outreach and engagement, aiming to foster a deeper appreciation for jewelry and watchmaking beyond traditional boutique experiences. The exhibition is divided into five thematic chapters: Love Stories, Poetic Astronomy, Enchanting Nature, Ballerinas & Fairies, and Jewels that Tell Time, each designed to invite visitors to explore the poetic narratives behind the creations. These stories encourage participants to pause and appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry involved, with knowledgeable docents available to elaborate on the techniques and inspirations behind each piece. The event serves as a significant cultural initiative, allowing a broader audience to connect with the legacy of Van Cleef & Arpels and the art of fine craftsmanship in a meaningful way.
