The history of automata is closely intertwined with the emergence and development of watches, as well as the mastery of mechanics. As part of this tradition, in 2017, Van Cleef & Arpels created its first Extraordinary Object: the Fée Ondine automaton. This unique piece is the result of seven years’ work and close collaboration with automaton maker François Junod. At the crossroads of jewelry and watchmaking, it brings together the expertise of seasoned craftsmen: lapidaries, jewelers, gem-setters, enamellers and woodworkers.
