Nicolas Luchsinger talks about how Covid-19 changed the buying habits of avid watch collectors, how the Maison's A Journey Through The Poetry of Time exhibition will impact visitors and even tells us how he knew he wanted to work at Van Cleef & Arpels when he was only 15
Any jewellery connoisseur would know that Parisian jeweller Van Cleef & Arpels is synonymous with some of the finest high jewellery collections, and that they have made a name for themselves in the industry with their unique and expert creations.
However, the maison is keen to showcase that it is more than just about the world of jewellery but also its expertise as a watchmaker.

Since February 12, the maison has been showcasing some of its finest watch collections and high jewellery throughout the years in Singapore’s Sands Expo, Marina Bay Sands.
The showcase, A Journey Through The Poetry of Time, celebrates the four major pillars that have guided the world of Van Cleef & Arpels since its conception and these are: love stories, fairies and ballerinas, poetic astronomy and enchanting nature.
Featuring a space set up to look like the streets of Paris and both timeless and modern contemporary watch and jewellery pieces, the exhibition pays homage to the maison’s key sources of inspiration from over the years and is truly informative and breathtaking.
