Decoupage
China, with whom Vacheron Constantin developed privileged relations in 1845, is home to the art of a paper cutting technique called Jianzhi. This folk art is echoed in Swiss folklore and its famous Scherenschnitte. The Maison's master artisans bring to life a new interpretation of this artistic approach, showcased by the Métiers d'Art collection The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac.
On this dial, floral motifs from classical Chinese iconography are engraved in gold. The decoration stands out on its mount through a subtle variation in relief, creating a sense of depth. Translucent Grand Feu enamel increases the intensity of the dial through a layered application. The gold animal is engraved by hand before being delicately placed in the center of the dial.
