Enchanting the collection of poetic complication, the Lady Arpels Féerie timepieces has fully captured the essence of 'time is synonymous with poetry' by depicting an elegant fairy, having diminutive human figure and magical power, with poetic expression of time elaborated through the mythical fairy by waving of magic wand to indicate the passing hours and fluttering wing to demonstrate the running minutes.

Uniting the artistic concept with sophisticated watch-making craftsmanship to create the illusion of the romantic fairyland, the blued engine-turned enamel dial, creating shades of blue and subtle plays of lights, is one of the traditional crafts of enamel making. By depositing enamel color on the dial metal plate that has been decorated with a guilloché, the flinqué enamel could only achieve the radius by passing fire (more than 800 degrees) several times.
