Vacheron Constantin Métiers d’Art Mécaniques Gravées – Masterpiece of Hand-Engraved Platinum Watch
The Vacheron Constantin Métiers d’Art Mécaniques Gravées is a true haute horlogerie masterpiece, blending meticulous hand engraving with exceptional mechanical precision. This platinum timepiece highlights Vacheron Constantin’s dedication to artistry, heritage, and craftsmanship.
Caliber 4400/1 – Exquisite Hand-Engraved Movement
The watch features the 8.5 mm thick Caliber 4400/1 manual-winding movement, fully engraved by hand. Each engraving measures approximately 0.2 mm in depth, while the thinnest components are less than 0.35 mm. Crafting a single movement takes over 10 days, integrating ruby bearings and screws seamlessly into the intricate acanthus leaf design.
Acanthus Leaf Motif – Classical Artistic Design
The acanthus leaf motif, originating in Greek architecture in the 5th century BC, influenced Roman, Medieval, and Renaissance decorative arts. Vacheron Constantin transforms this pattern into delicate engravings on the movement, making the watch both a technical and artistic marvel.
Sapphire Crystal Caseback & Geneva Seal
The movement can be admired through the sapphire crystal caseback, with the prestigious Geneva Seal hidden at 3 o’clock in the engraving, reflecting the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship and mechanical excellence.
