The Métiers d’Art Les Aérostiers collection takes its inspiration from the daring balloon flights that captivated France in the 18th century. Each timepiece in this exquisite collection showcases intricately hand-engraved gold hot-air balloons soaring against a backdrop of translucent plique-à-jour enamel. Powered by the precise calibre 2460 G4/1 movement, these watches not only tell the time but also display the day and date with precision. One standout piece from this collection is the Métiers d'Art Les Aérostiers reference 7610U/000G-B244, paying homage to a historic balloon flight that took place in Versailles in 1783. This particular flight, known as an “aerostatic experiment,” carried a sheep, a rooster, and a duck onboard to test the effects of altitude on living creatures. The meticulous white gold engravings of the basket and ropes, showcasing slight damage from the landing, are elegantly showcased beneath the radiant 5N gold balloon. Limited to just five pieces, each watch in the Métiers d’Art Les Aérostiers collection is a testament to the artistry and innovation of Vacheron Constantin, offering a unique blend of historical significance and contemporary design.
