In celebration of the 300th anniversary of the École Française de Danse, Vacheron Constantin unveils a mesmerizing trio of timepieces in the exquisite Métiers d’Art Hommage à l’Art de la Danse collection. These unique creations pay homage to the art of classical ballet through the ancient craft of Grand Feu grisaille enameling, each piece a masterpiece inspired by the works of the renowned artist Edgar Degas. Crafted with unparalleled precision in the Manufacture's workshops, these inaugural Métiers d’Art Hommage à l’Art de la Danse watches symbolize the enchanting fusion of three distinct arts: ballet, enameling, and watchmaking. The delicate nuances of Grand Feu grisaille enameling, a rare technique mastered by a select few artisans, are expertly showcased on the dials, radiating finesse and everlasting sophistication. Encased in white gold, Degas’ iconic ballerinas pirouette gracefully beneath the ever-moving hands, bringing to life three captivating paintings: Ballet Room at the Opera in Rue le Peletier, Ballet Rehearsal, and Two Dancers on Stage. Selected for their portrayal of pivotal moments in a ballerina’s journey – from learning and practice to performance – these artworks were meticulously chosen for their expressive qualities. The intricate artistry of Grand Feu grisaille enamel painting captures the minutest details of the dancers: the delicate folds of their tutus, the intricate lace embellishments, the soft textures of velvet ribbons, and the ethereal petals of flowers adorning their hair. The dancers glide across a wooden floor, their movements casting shadows and reflecting light, all meticulously rendered in the style of Degas to capture the essence of each moment with chiaroscuro effects and lifelike precision.
