Tribute to great civilisations - Buste d'Auguste 7620A/000G-B929
Introduced by the Republic and Canton of Geneva in 1886 as the ultimate standard in excellence and an emblem of Geneva’s fine watchmaking expertise, the Poinçon de Genève or Hallmark of Geneva, is synonymous with provenance, quality craftsmanship and reliability.
In close collaboration with the Louvre Museum, Vacheron Constantin pays homage to the great civilizations of Antiquity. Those chosen were the Persian Empire of Darius I, Egypt in the time of the pharaohs, the Hellenistic Greece of the successors of Alexander the Great, and imperial Rome. Each of these eras is represented by an iconic work kept in the Louvre Museum, reproduced in the form of a miniature sculpted applique in gold. Showcasing this remarkable engraving, each era reveals a sub-dial decorated with motifs taken from the decorative arts of the same period. By virtue of its construction, the self-winding 2460 G4/2 caliber gives free rein to creativity and these exceptional, masterful compositions.
Precision mechanics and traditional savoir-faire combine in the Métiers d’Art Tribute to the Celestial series: 12 watches, each dedicated to one of the zodiac constellations and its associated sun sign in Western astrology.
Celebrating the beauty and mystery of the celestial vault, Vacheron Constantin introduces the Métiers d’Art Tribute to the Celestial, a series of 12 references powered by the Manufacture’s ultra-thin self-winding Calibre 2160. Each dial features a different sign from the zodiac, illustrated in hand-turned guilloché with diamond ‘stars’ for a timeless yet contemporary feel. The elegant 39 mm white gold case is set with baguette-cut blue sapphires whose rich hue complements the dial.
