How Van Cleef & Arpels' craftsmen bring life to poetic timepieces | Part 2: Miniature painting


In this 2nd episode, witness the delicate art of miniature painting.

An age-old technique that extends back to Antiquity, miniature painting brought acclaim to artists in Medieval times. Like a painter’s palette, an enamel artist uses an assortment of colored enamels made up of silica powder, very finely ground pigments, and oil.
On the Lady Arpels Brise d’Été watch, the craftsman or painter, equipped with a binocular loupe, applies the color to a vallonné enamel flower petal or a plique-à-jour butterfly.
