Christian Selmoni - Style & Heritage Director Vacheron Constantin
Vacheron Constantin recently celebrated its 270th anniversary, highlighting its rich heritage through an extensive collection of archives that inspire contemporary watch designs. The brand introduced La Quête du Temps at the Louvre, a complex mechanical artwork that merges astronomical clocks with automata, showcasing a unique R&D collaboration that took seven years. The anniversary also featured the Celestia pieces from the Les Cabinotiers collection, which exemplify the blend of technical mastery and artistic craftsmanship, boasting numerous astronomical complications and exquisite decorations. In addition to these remarkable creations, the Armillary Tourbillon – Le Mythe des Pléiades stands out for its intricate engineering and beautiful hand-engraved details, while the Hommage aux Guerriers Épiques series showcases the brand's capability in creating grand complication timepieces with rich artistic elements. Another innovative model, the Cosmica Duo – Grand Complication, features a reversible design that allows for an exploration of both celestial themes and kinetic artistry. The collection reflects the commitment to excellence and the celebration of timekeeping heritage, with favorites including the Historiques 222, Traditionnelle manual-winding, and Métiers d’Art Hommage à La Quête du Temps, each embodying the brand's storied legacy.
