Crafting an openworked movement is a meticulous endeavor that requires skill and precision. Watchmakers embark on a journey of hollowing out mechanical components while maintaining the watch's functionality. The Métiers d’Art Mécaniques Ajourées exemplifies this artistry by presenting the first openworked iteration of the renowned hand-wound Calibre 4400. Countless hours were dedicated to striking a delicate balance between visual elegance and operational efficiency. In a remarkable feat, the artisans at the Manufacture meticulously removed almost half of the material from the solid Calibre 4400, transforming it into a captivating three-dimensional masterpiece. This contemporary take on hand engraving showcases the intricate beauty of the openworked mechanism, enhanced by the expertise of Vacheron Constantin in Grand Feu enamelling. The creation of a ring atop the calibre through precise enamelling highlights the artisans' virtuosity and commitment to excellence. The result is a timepiece that not only mesmerizes with its play of light and shadow but also stands as a testament to the brand's heritage of craftsmanship and innovation.
