Two years after Vacheron Constantin launched their Métier d’Art Fabuleux Ornements collection, the brand has added to the line with four new models that reinterpret the traditional artforms of Ottoman architecture, Chinese embroidery, Indian manuscripts and French lacework. Ten master artisans were enlisted to realize these stunning creations, employing openworking and a combination of artistic crafts to evoke the art form that inspired each piece

The “Indian manuscript” piece is created with Grand Feu champlevé enameling and hand engraving. The “Ottoman architecture” piece features hand chamfering, natural white mother-of-pearl base and a gold gridwork studed with half-pearl beads. The “French lacework” watch has a translucent hand-guilloché Grand Feu–enamelled dial. Finally, the “Chinese embroidery” timepiece is crafted in pink gold with a dial sculpted from mother-of-pearl and features hand-engraved gold leaves and pistils.
