Product Description

The Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art Fabuleux Ornements Indian Manuscript, identified by reference number 33580/000G-B008, made its debut in November 2011 ahead of the prestigious SIHH 2016 event. This exceptional timepiece is one of only 20 pieces in a limited edition collection of four, each celebrating the rich decorative traditions of diverse cultures. A departure from its 2015 predecessors, this model boasts unique colors and metal compositions. Crafted by ten master artisans, the watch showcases reinterpretations of Ottoman architecture, Chinese embroidery, Indian manuscripts, and French lacework. The heart of these creations beats with the ethereal calibre ultra-thin 1003 movement, meticulously hand-engraved in 18K gold. Precision is paramount, evident in the front-facing décor accurate to the tenth of a millimeter, while the back features an exclusive chamfered and hand-drawn finish exuding understated elegance. Melding traditional arts from various corners of the world, the "Indian manuscript" timepiece marries Grand Feu champlevé enameling with intricate hand engraving. The "Ottoman architecture" watch showcases hand chamfering, a natural white mother-of-pearl base, and a gold grid adorned with lustrous half-pearl beads. In contrast, the "French lacework" model flaunts a translucent hand-guilloché Grand Feu enamel dial, with a gold base intricately guillochéd to enhance the transparent enamel, embellished with garnet-colored sapphires and diamonds. Completing the quartet, the "Chinese embroidery" masterpiece is crafted in pink gold using the stone-cloisonné technique with jade accents. Its dial, sculpted from mother-of-pearl, features a pink opal shaped with precision using glyptic art, complemented by delicately hand-engraved gold leaves and pistils. Each timepiece in this collection is a testament to exceptional artistry, uniting different cultural styles in horological harmony.
