Vacheron Constantin Introduces Chinese New Year Special Editions

Alvin Wong 02 December 2015

The subject matter may be perceived as mischevious, but Vacheron Constantin is dead serious about demonstrating its artistic capabilities with the Métiers d’Art ‘La Légende du Zodiaque Chinois’, created to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Monkey.

Inspired by the ancient Chinese art of paper-cutting, Vacheron Constantin’s artisans recreated the look of the patterned paper cuts by depicting foliage in precious metal against a mother-of-pearl dial. Meantime, the said primate occupies centre stage as a miniaturised gold sculpture, framed by four windows that display the hour, minutes, day and date. Limited to 12 pieces each in pink gold or platinum case.
