Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art: The 210-Hour Gold Embroidery Tiger Watch

Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art: The 210-Hour Gold Embroidery Tiger Watch | Haute Horlogerie Craftsmanship The creation of the "Tigerbroidery" timepiece showcases unparalleled craftsmanship in gold embroidery. This demanding art required bespoke needles as fine as 0.25 millimetres and the development of new miniature tools to twist and coil 9-karat gold into workable threads. Each hand-cut gold wire fragment, less than a millimetre in size, contributes to the intricate design, while the tiger's eyes alone required ten different shades of silk for depth. The entire dial demanded approximately 210 hours of dedicated work, all while respecting the strict constraint of a mere three to four millimetres in height. Artist Laura Baverstock, through this collaboration, has pushed the boundaries of traditional goldwork embroidery, elevating it to a new level of art. This exemplifies the Maison's pursuit of technical savoir-faire and unparalleled craftsmanship within Haute Horlogerie. Discover more: http://ms.spr.ly/6058aTTRo #VacheronConstantin #OneOfNotMany
