Fée Ondine Automaton by Van Cleef & Arpels

At SIHH 2017, Van Cleef & Arpels unveiled the first of its Extraordinary Objects: Automate Fée Ondine.
After years of collaboration with automaton maker François Junod, the project brings together the jewelry and watchmaking into this poetic pièce unique. The highly complex mechanism animates various elements as the fairy wakes from her sleep and brings the tableau to life in delicate, ephemeral and dreamlike movements.

Magnificent!! As a manufacture I am so impressed with the result. I really wish the public would understand and take the time understand the skill and craftsmanship needed to make not just this high art, but even everyday objects.
