Product Description

Crafted with meticulous artistry, the Métiers d'Art The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac Year of the Snake timepiece is a masterpiece celebrating the Chinese New Year. Unveiled in 2012 to honor the Year of the Snake, this horological marvel showcases a mesmerizing leaf motif intricately etched into the metal dial, drawing inspiration from traditional Chinese symbolism. The dynamic interplay of raised leaves on a golden backdrop creates a captivating depth effect, with each leaf seemingly suspended in time. The detailed snake engraving, a labor of love requiring over 30 hours of skilled craftsmanship just for the scales, embodies the artisan's profound creativity. Embracing the ancient art of Grand Feu enameling, a rare and revered technique born in Geneva, each dial undergoes a meticulous process of layering enamel to achieve rich blue or bronze tones that captivate the eye. The demanding firing process at temperatures exceeding 800°C demands precision and expertise honed over years of practice to achieve the perfect hue and finish. The final layer of enamel imbues a glossy sheen, enhancing the floral motif's intricate beauty. At the heart of the dial, the snake motif coils with lifelike intensity, seemingly poised to emerge through the sapphire crystal, creating a dramatic visual spectacle. Presented in a pink gold case, the Ref. 86073/000R-9751 edition, limited to just 12 pieces, exudes luxury and exclusivity. For connoisseurs seeking unparalleled craftsmanship and artistic expression, this watch stands as a testament to the fusion of horology and artistry at its finest.
