Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art Glassoctopus: A Watch with a Transparent Octopus Dial

Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art Glassoctopus: A Watch with a Transparent Octopus Dial | Homo Faber 2026 From the nocturnal depths of the dial, a miniature transparent octopus, a poetic sculpture by artist Simone Crestani, appears suspended in an imaginary underwater world. This creation, rising only 3.5 millimetres above the dial, redefines glass artistry at a microscopic scale. The transparent glass required careful consideration of thickness, overlap, and refraction to create optical illusions and avoid distortion, ensuring every detail remained readable and alive within the dial's architecture. This collaboration exemplifies Vacheron Constantin's "One of Not Many Crafts Programme," expanding the creative vocabulary of Métiers d’Art and showcasing an enduring quest for artistic excellence within Haute Horlogerie.
