Égérie Creative Edition 8006F/000G-B942 37 mm White Gold
Creative Edition 8006F/000G-B942
Inspired by Burano lace, Égérie Creative Edition, combines watchmaking expertise with the artistic crafts. Like the lace-makers crafting the most delicate creations with their needles , the Master Artisans have applied their art to the service of contemporary femininity. Tapisserie, engraving, enamelling and gemsetting give rise to a precious timepiece sparkling with over 4 carats of diamonds. The exceptional daintiness of the ensemble is complemented by the black satin-effect calfskin strap featuring a buckle set with 21 diamonds and which can be switched out at the touch of a button for an alternative second strap in black Missisippiensis alligator leather.
A 100-piece limited series developed with designer Yiqing Yin
Undeniably dreamlike, the moon-phase indicator is adorned with lilac mother-of-pearl and festooned with diamonds. Elegance suffuses the entire timepiece, expressed in the contours of the 37 mm diamond-set pink gold case, in the slender hands reminiscent of dressmakers’ nimble fingers, and in the Égérie collection’s characteristic asymmetry: a crown at 2 o'clock aligned with the moon phase, with the Vacheron Constantin inscription at 8 o'clock.
Clearly visible through the transparent caseback, the Manufacture's Calibre 1088 L ensures accurate timekeeping as the he delicately openworked 22-carat gold oscillating weight inspired by the Maltese cross sweeps over the hand-turned Côtes de Genève motif.
These Haute Horlogerie signatures are echoed by that of Yiqing Yin, whose name is engraved in full on the caseback, alongside the unique number of the watch within this exclusive 100-piece limited edition.
The Égérie moon phase watch is highly versatile thanks to the collection’s ingenious system of interchangeable straps. The wearer can play on textures or create contrasts in the blink of an eye: lilac alligator leather for an elegant tone-on-tone effect, deep blue satiny calfskin or powder pink grained calfskin leather.
