1967 Van Cleef & Arpels Universal Genève âWoodâ Dial 842101
Here we have the very rare and sophisticated 1967 Van Cleef & Arpels Universal Genève âWoodâ Dial, reference 842101 - 15. This timepiece is a masterclass in mid-century organic design, featuring a slim 31mm stainless steel case measuring a mere 7mm thick. Its distinctive aesthetic is defined by the wood veneer dial, which offers a warm, textured contrast to the polished steel of the integrated bezel and case. The minimalist layout preserves the natural grain of the wood, punctuated only by elegant applied steel baton indexes, needle-thin steel hands and the prestigious house of Van Cleef & Arpels. The ultra-thin watch is powered by a manually wound Universal Genève Calibre 42, a movement renowned for its reliability and slim profile, allowing the case to sit flush against the wrist with a 37mm lug-to-lug span. The 16mm lugs seamlessly transition into its strap, maintaining the fluid, architectural lines for which the reference is celebrated. It remains a pinnacle of "chic" design, merging horological precision with the raw beauty of natural materials.
