Product Description

The Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art Fabuleux Ornements French Lace, identified by the reference number 33580/000R-B009, made its debut in November 2011 ahead of the prestigious SIHH 2016 event. This exquisite timepiece is one of only 20 limited edition pieces, forming a distinguished quartet that pays homage to the diverse decorative arts across various cultures. Distinguished from its 2015 predecessors, this collection showcases subtle variations in colors and metals, offering a fresh perspective on traditional craftsmanship. Crafted by ten master artisans, each watch in this series encapsulates the essence of Ottoman architecture, Chinese embroidery, Indian manuscripts, and French lacework. The heart of these creations beats with a meticulously hand-engraved movement, the calibre ultra-thin 1003 in lustrous 18K gold. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in the front-facing embellishments, accurate down to the nearest tenth of a millimeter, while the reverse side features an exclusively chamfered and hand-drawn finish, exuding a refined elegance. In a harmonious fusion of cultural influences, the "Indian manuscript" model marries Grand Feu champlevé enameling with intricate hand engraving, creating a mesmerizing visual tapestry. The "Ottoman architecture" timepiece is characterized by hand chamfering, a natural white mother-of-pearl base, and a gold lattice adorned with half-pearl beads. Meanwhile, the "French lacework" edition dazzles with a translucent hand-guilloché Grand Feu enameled dial, embellished with garnet-colored sapphires and diamonds on a guilloché motif, adding a touch of depth to the exquisite enamel backdrop. Lastly, the "Chinese embroidery" masterpiece, fashioned in pink gold using the stone-cloisonné technique with jade, features a dial sculpted from mother-of-pearl, accentuated by a pink opal and delicate hand-engraved gold elements. These timepieces stand as a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship where traditional arts converge, celebrating the artistry of different cultures in a symphony of horological brilliance.
