Donated by Van Cleef & Arpels
The Cadenas timepiece reflects several facets of the Maison Van Cleef & Arpels. Created in 1935, this “avant-garde” design has remained modern and bold through the decades. It’s an echo to all love stories through the symbol of the padlock, including the love story of the Duc and the Duchess of Windsor as she was one of the first clients to wear this creation in 1936. It’s a timeless creation that remains an elegant way of telling the time unnoticed.
