Product Description

Unveiled in the prestigious ambiance of SIHH 2012, the 'Les Univers Infinis' collection emerged as a radiant jewel within the Métiers d'Art series, drawing inspiration from the captivating designs of Dutch artist Maurits Cornelis Escher. Each watch in this exceptional lineup epitomizes a seamless blend of artisanal mastery refined by the esteemed Manufacture Vacheron Constantin: from intricate engraving to exquisite enameling, precise gemsetting, and intricate guilloché work. Inspired by an enchanting Escher motif, the Dove timepiece's dial captures the graceful essence of birds in motion, elevated to an unparalleled level of beauty through the mastery of Fine Watchmaking techniques. Engraving, Grand Feu enameling, gemsetting, and guilloché methods intertwine harmoniously, creating a lavish tapestry of artistry that mesmerizes the observer. Enclosed in luminous white gold, the watch showcases a sophisticated bezel that encircles a captivating dial, adorned with elegantly crafted openwork hands. Nestled within this exquisite casing lies a masterpiece meticulously crafted by four expert artisans within the Manufacture, each contributing their skill to breathe life into the doves. The journey commences with the engraver delicately outlining the doves on a golden dial base, followed by champlevé work to create recesses for the enameler. With meticulous care, the enameler infuses a spectrum of hues onto the dial, using a blend of oxides and enamels to achieve a radiant violet shade for one dove and an opalescent sheen for its companion. Subsequently, the gemsetter embellishes one dove with shimmering diamonds, enhancing its graceful flight with a luminous allure that captures the gaze. Lastly, the guillocheur, a virtuoso of relief, intricately carves elaborate patterns onto the dial, enhancing the lifelike presence of the doves with a captivating depth effect rarely seen in enameled timepieces. In essence, the 'Les Univers Infinis' Dove watch serves as a tribute to the artistry and commitment of Vacheron Constantin's master craftsmen, a timeless creation that transcends mere timekeeping to become a masterpiece that will enchant future generations.
