Discover this extraordinary piece designed with noble materials
The new creation by Vacheron Constantin was certified with the Ponçon de Genève. Embellished with precious plates, it simultaneously records 37 time zones around the world. It features a tripatite dial adorned with a hand-enameled gold world map. A refined design and a work of artisanal art, it is the result of mastered technical skill, and the manufacturers have considered the ease of use of this Traditionnelle World Time to allow for simple adjustment using the 18-carat rose gold crown.
Every detail has been carefully crafted for an impeccable, flawless finish. The Traditionnelle Heures du Monde offers exceptional performance. A highly realistic feel is felt in the coastlines and reliefs of the land. The grisaille enamel technique offers a subtle gradient effect of blues and whites. This enamel, made from Limoges white, a very fine powder mixed with oils, demonstrates the quality and refinement of this timepiece. This material is indeed very rare and, above all, very difficult to work with. But the precision and expertise of the company's artisans have made it possible to achieve this extraordinary finish. To this was added opaque enamel, once again a material requiring meticulous work as it tolerates no manufacturing defects. But the 10 examples of this new Vacheron Constantin model are all equally perfect.
The dial further highlights these astonishing details. 24 hours feature gold indexes, and the 37 names of world cities are painted on opaque dark blue enamel. As for the hours, they have been embellished with white against sky blue for the half and quarter hours. This noble watch brings together all the precious and noble materials, as the hands are revealed in 18-carat white gold. The smallest details of each continent have been highlighted by the deep blue of the seas under opaque enamel.
