Product Description

The Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art Fabuleux Ornements Chinese Embroidery, bearing the reference 33580/000G-B011, made its debut in November 2011 in anticipation of the prestigious SIHH 2016 event. This timepiece is a rare gem, part of a limited edition collection comprising only 20 pieces, designed to honor the rich heritage of decorative arts from diverse cultures. In a departure from its 2015 predecessors, this exquisite watch showcases a unique interplay of colors and metals, setting it apart as a true work of art. Ten master artisans have lent their expertise to reinterpret iconic motifs from Ottoman architecture, Chinese embroidery, Indian manuscripts, and French lacework, each piece a testament to their remarkable skill and creativity. At its heart lies the meticulously hand-engraved calibre ultra-thin 1003 movement in 18K gold, a marvel of precision and craftsmanship. The front-facing design, executed with remarkable accuracy down to the tenth of a millimeter, is a visual symphony of detail and finesse. On the reverse, Vacheron Constantin has chosen a more understated approach with an exclusively chamfered and hand-drawn finish, embodying elegance in its purest form. The watch "Indian manuscript" harmoniously combines Grand Feu champlevé enameling and hand engraving, showcasing a blend of techniques that speak to the mastery of traditional art forms. "Ottoman architecture" is characterized by intricate hand chamfering, a luminous white mother-of-pearl base, and a gold grid embellished with delicate half-pearl beads, exuding regal sophistication. The "French lacework" model features a mesmerizing translucent hand-guilloché Grand Feu enameled dial, adorned with a guilloché motif on a gold base that adds depth to the transparent enamel, embellished with garnet-colored sapphires and diamonds. Finally, the "Chinese embroidery" timepiece, crafted in pink gold using the stone-cloisonné technique with jade, presents a dial sculpted from mother-of-pearl, accented with a pink opal shaped with glyptic art, intricately detailed with hand-engraved gold leaves and pistils. In this collection, the convergence of traditional arts from various cultures creates a tapestry of beauty and excellence, a true celebration of exceptional craftsmanship and savoir-faire.
