ArtyA turns lightning, butterfly wings and sapphire into wearable art, the audacious Geneva vision of Yvan and Dominique Arpa.
Founded by Yvan Arpa.
Arpa's wife, Dominique Arpa Cirpka, pioneered dials crafted from real butterfly wings, each conceived as an individual work of art.
The house first made its name with dials created through a special process its founder describes as being struck by lightning.
ArtyA embraces rare materials such as moissanite, a laboratory grown crystal rated 9.5 on the Mohs scale, and colour changing nano sapphire.
Its Purity collection showcases minute repeaters and tourbillons within sapphire cases, created by a house that makes its own movements.
A bolt of lightning strikes the dial and is captured within it.
New stories from ArtyA arrive here as we publish them, straight from the house.
Every timepiece is best discovered in person: on the wrist, in the hand, and in the company of those who made it.
Every house in this collection has its own world on Simply Luxury.
The ArtyA name belongs to its owners. Stories on Simply Luxury are drawn from the house's own published content. Illustrations by Simply Luxury.
