Crafting an openworked movement requires a delicate balance between carving out the mechanical components while maintaining the watch's precision. The Métiers d’Art Mécaniques Ajourées exemplifies this meticulous process by presenting the first openworked rendition of the renowned hand-wound Calibre 4400. Countless hours were devoted to achieving the perfect harmony between a light, visually striking design and flawless functionality. The artisans at the Manufacture skillfully reduced nearly half the material of the solid Calibre 4400 to create a captivating three-dimensional architectural masterpiece, playing with light and shadow effects. This contemporary take on hand engraving showcases the intricate openwork mechanism, elevated by the exquisite art of Grand Feu enamelling – a skill deeply rooted in Vacheron Constantin's heritage. The intricate enamelled ring adorning the calibre is a testament to the artisans' unparalleled expertise, requiring meticulous precision to prevent distortion on the circular surface. The Métiers d’Art Mécaniques Ajourées stands as a stunning fusion of horological mastery and artistic craftsmanship, pushing the boundaries of traditional watchmaking.
