Product Description

The exquisite Métiers d’Art Les Aérostiers series debuted at the prestigious SIHH event in 2018, paying homage to five extraordinary hot-air balloon expeditions that took place in 18th century France. Each timepiece in this remarkable collection showcases intricately hand-engraved and micro-sculpted gold balloons set against a mesmerizing backdrop of translucent plique-à-jour enamel. Powered by the precise calibre 2460 G4/1 movement, these watches elegantly display the hours, minutes, day, and date with precision. One standout from the series is the Métiers d'Art Les Aérostiers reference 7610U/000G-B210, drawing inspiration from a historic balloon flight that occurred in Paris in 1784. During this pioneering journey, balloonist Blanchard devised a groundbreaking system to steer the balloon’s course, which is beautifully depicted on the dial with intricate wing details. Although the landing deviated from the intended location, the flight sparked innovation among Blanchard and fellow balloonists, leading to further advancements in aeronautics. Each version of this exceptional collection is limited to just five pieces, making these timepieces highly coveted treasures for watch connoisseurs and history enthusiasts alike.
