Cadenas watch in yellow gold

EDITOR'S REVIEW

Van Cleef & Arpels has revisited one of its best-known watches for women, the Cadenas - an icon from the 1930s that merges jewellery and watchmaking. Inspired by the American socialite Wallace Simpson, this modern-day Cadenas watch retains the art deco styling of the era in which it was launched, with a discreet dial nestled among the padlock-style case, placed at an angle so that, from above, it is invisible. In yellow gold with a white mother-of-pearl dial, two slinky snake chains holds this stylish jewellery watch firmly in place on the wrist.
