From the initial sketches to the finishing touches, the maison’s unique creation process unfolds, from geometry to artistry.
MÉTIERS D’ART
THE LEGEND OF THE CHINESE ZODIAC – YEAR OF THE SNAKE
In honour of its historic ties with China, Vacheron Constantin proudly presents its new limited series dedicated to the Chinese zodiac. Celebrating the upcoming year of the snake, this exquisite series features two editions – available in pink gold or platinum – each adorned with intricately carved miniature gold appliques of a cobra unfurling atop a rock. The in-house Calibre 2460 G4’s unique display allows for a masterful demonstration of artistic crafts.
MÉTIERS D’ART:
TRIBUTE TO TRADITIONAL SYMBOLS
Since 1845, Vacheron Constantin has drawn inspiration from Chinese art and craftsmanship. The Métiers d’Art collection now presents a new series of four models, available in white or pink gold and powered by Calibre 2460. These exquisite timepieces interpret the "Seawater Cliff" motif, a traditional symbol of stability and longevity.
SYMMETRICAL COLOURFUL BEAUTY
The symmetrical geometry of the Eternal Flow series showcases cloisonné enamel, a Chinese ancestral technique where 220 thin gold wires form an outline that is filled with enamel and fired. This highly architectural composition is further enhanced by the meticulous hand-engraving on the bezel, depicting an auspicious bat frieze.
A MONOCHROMATIC TRIBUTE
From moonlight to foamy waves, the Moonlight Slivers pieces feature exceptional craftsmanship. The background waves are crafted with Grand Feu enamel, engraved, and filled with white enamel. Diamonds adorn the sea tides and bezel, reflecting the moon on the sea spray. Each wave and mountain in the foreground is hand-engraved to create depth and perspective.
FIFTYSIX SELF-WINDING:
A TIMELESS REVIVAL
Inspired by the strong character of the 1950s, the Fiftysix collection unveiled in 2018 returns to the spotlight. This new edition embraces a striking contrast: the 40 mm pink gold case opts for a first-in-the-collection black dial. An elegant play on light is achieved through the dial’s double finishes, opaline in the centre and sunburst on the surrounding ring.

Overseas:
Exploring new worlds
The Overseas collection has consistently evolved since its launch in 1996. This year, four new models explore an exclusive new dial colour, reinventing the collection's iconic codes. Additionally, a new titanium model pushes the boundaries even further, challenging the robust material with meticulous finishings and a stunning tourbillon.
Titanium tourbillon
In 2021, the first titanium Overseas withstood an expedition with explorer Cory Richards. This new all-titanium Overseas tourbillon shares the same adventurous spirit. Titanium is an exceptionally strong material, and producing this level of finishing is a highly demanding process. A tourbillon regulator pierces through the blue dial, adding a light feel while maintaining the watch's toughness.
Complications
The sport-chic collection incorporates horological complications into its new colour exploration. A chronograph and a dual time model present a green-lacquered dial combined with pink gold. The combination creates a striking contrast and ensures the perfect legibility of time for any adventure.
Self-winding
For the first time, an intense green colour captures the essence of travel in the Overseas collection. Two new self-winding timepieces, including one set with 90 diamonds, remind of an untouched wilderness, amidst exceptional finishing. The dial’s centre gleams with a sunburst satin-brushing, while the minute rack features a velvety finish, playing on stunning depth effects.
Patrimony:
A world of silvery tones and new colours
For 20 years, the Patrimony collection has embodied purity of style and the legacy of modernity from the 1950s. Three novelties introduce new original colours to the wrist, perpetuating the collection’s legacy.
Moon phase retrograde date
This Patrimony addition in white gold incorporates a retrograde moon phase and a date display in its stunning old-silver-toned dial. Both horological complications, as always, complement the watch's classic proportions without detracting from its formal simplicity. An original touch of colour enlivens the wrist thanks to the new strap.
Manual-winding
The Collection’s 20 years are celebrated with two new manual-winding flaunting fresh colours. The old-silver-toned dial provides a hint of retro styling and a beautiful contrast with the markers' pink gold. The timepieces also come with new azure-blue or olive-green leather straps that add a contemporary touch to the timeless elegance of the collection.
