From a 19th-century repeater pocket watch to a skeletonised perpetual calendar, six finalists offer a glimpse of Vacheron Constantin’s watchmaking history.
At a private luncheon the Swiss watchmaker presented three Récital creations that bring together intricate complications, traditional craftsmanship and a more considered approach to everyday wear.
A limited edition timepiece that pairs black ceramic with a radiant gold-coloured dial and baguette-cut diamonds.
The Manufacture gives its Art Deco-inspired timepiec a colourful new identity, pairing gem-setting and jewellery craftsmanship with the practicality of a slim quartz movement.
The watchmaker and tennis legend turn their shared ideas of resilience, femininity and performance into a timepiece.
Inspired by a celebrated reference from the late 1940s, the timepiece brings instantaneous calendar mechanics and moonphase poetry into a contemporary expression.
