Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art Papercroc: Microscopic Paper Sculpting & Crocodile Art

Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art Papercroc: Microscopic Paper Sculpting & Crocodile Art | Haute Horlogerie From the circular frame of the dial, an all-white crocodile appears to prowl through what seems to be snow-covered vegetation. This "Papercroc" timepiece, a remarkable creation by artist Marianne Guély, is fashioned entirely from white cotton paper, presenting an illusion of ice sculpted from cotton. This intricate composition, measuring only 3 millimetres in height, creates subtle reliefs and delicate gradations of depth, allowing light to define every contour. It stands as a testament to microscopic paper sculpting, a technique explored within Vacheron Constantin's "One of Not Many Crafts Programme". This creation expands the creative vocabulary of the Maison, demonstrating how paper can enter the world of Haute Horlogerie as a true form of art.
