Vacheron Constantin pays tribute to ancient Chinese culture with its new Métiers d’Art

An ode to craftsmanship

Vacheron Constantin pays tribute to ancient Chinese culture with its new Métiers d’Art – Tribute to traditional symbols series, featuring two interpretations of the “Seawater Cliff”, a legendary Chinese motif that first appeared in the 14th century.

This depiction of wave-lashed cliffs belongs to the cultural tradition of Imperial China, a special field of study for Mr. Song, the Former Associate Research Librarian of the Palace Museum, who guided the Vacheron Constantin artisans on this project.

Housed in a 38 mm-diameter case in 18K pink or white gold, powered by Calibre 2460 driving central hours and minutes hands, these dials provide a forceful, beautiful expression of Chinese cultural symbolism.
