Vacheron Constantin New Design Watches: Metiers d'Art Savoirs Enlumines

The Savoirs Enluminés new design watches created in a limited edition of just 60 pieces open the door into the heart of Middle Ages, manuscripts, and mysterious knowledge. With this collection of high-end luxury watches Vacheron Constantin emphasize the importance of the unique combination of talents drawing inspiration from medieval works of ancient Celtic manuscripts collected in one book, the Aberdeen Bestiary, which has received international recognition for the impeccable quality of pictures. This art of miniaturization intended for praising the handwritten literature is a complex technique that requires a thorough cooperation between the scribes, painters, and gilders. The original Aberdeen Bestiary was created in the 12th century. This famous "book of God's creatures" conveys a wide range of knowledge and beliefs filled with key information for understanding the evolution of humanity while raising the power of metaphor. In the Middle Ages, this kind of art was very common. Creatures represented in the symbolic picturesque style with great color intensity and detail often acquire fantastic qualities that impress by their modern graphical appearance.


The Métiers d'Art Savoirs Enluminés new design watches are represented by three limited models. The first of this trio is called Altion. The unique timepiece depicts a beautiful seabird that, in spite of the weather, builds its nest thereby symbolizing water and peace of mind. The second luxury watch model is decorated with two placed back to back Vultures - the quintessential representatives of Heaven. Their bodies form a circle on the textured pink background symbolizing infinity and longevity. The third model, Caper, is related to the Earth. It shows a dark blue Capricorn symbolizing the exceptional common sense. These three creatures are depicted as close to the original as possible. Each 18k white gold watch with a cushion-shaped case includes its own set of signs, surprises, and amazing things. By these high-end luxury watches Vacheron Constantin have awakened a number of traditional decorative techniques: the art of hot enameling as a reference to the miniatures, engraving as a tribute to calligraphy, as well as sophisticated shading and gold texturing that create the effect of gold foil. The stunning result is worthy of admiration!
