Product Description

In May of 2014, Vacheron Constantin introduced an unforgettable trio of timepieces within the Métiers d’Art Hommage à l’Art de la Danse series. These watches eloquently capture the essence of a ballerina's journey, from the daily discipline of practice to the enchanting grandeur of performance. Paying tribute to the world of classical ballet, these remarkable creations reimagine the iconic works of Edgar Degas through the intricate artistry of Grand Feu grisaille enameling. Nestled within a sophisticated white gold case, Degas' ethereal ballerinas gracefully unfold beneath the poetic dance of the watch hands. Inspired by three of Degas' renowned paintings, each timepiece encapsulates a pivotal moment in the life of a ballerina: the focused practice in Dancers Practicing at the Barre, the backstage anticipation in Dancers near a Set, and the majestic entrance on stage in Two Dancers Entering the Stage. The meticulous art of Grand Feu grisaille enamel painting breathes life into every delicate detail of the ballerinas' attire, capturing the intricate folds of tutus, the velvety touch of ribbons, and the sheer elegance of tulle and muslin. Employing Degas' technique, the enamel artist skillfully manipulates light and shadow to imbue the scenes with a remarkable sense of realism and depth. Departing from the conventional black enamel, the artisan opts for a translucent brown enamel base to enrich the depth and infuse a subtle warmth into the overall composition. Working with the rare and demanding Limoges white enamel material, each application demands precision and finesse, with every firing stage crucial to the final masterpiece. The artist’s expertise and artistry shine through in achieving the desired shades of grey, meticulously shaping the portraits with lifelike expressions. Encased in an elegant 40mm diameter, the Métiers d’Art Hommage à l’Art de la Danse watches epitomize the art of Grand Feu grisaille enameling, meticulously handcrafted with an unwavering focus on detail and a commitment to perfection. Powered by the self-winding Calibre 2460 movement, entirely conceived and executed within the esteemed Manufacture Vacheron Constantin, these timepieces uphold the pinnacle of Geneva's Fine Watchmaking heritage. Each watch proudly showcases the prestigious Poinçon de Genève (Hallmark of Geneva), a hallmark of excellence in Haute Horlogerie that signifies the exceptional quality, craftsmanship, and reliability of these masterpieces born in the heart of Geneva.
