The Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art La Symbolique Des Laques Maki-e Pine and Cranes model, reference 33222/000R-9506, is a testament to the brand's dedication to artistry and craftsmanship. Released in 2010 as part of a limited series of 20 sets per year, this watch measures 40.0 mm in diameter and is crafted from 18-carat 4N rose gold, with a transparent caseback that offers a glimpse into its intricate inner workings. The timepiece is powered by a skeletonized movement developed and crafted in-house by Vacheron Constantin, featuring 18 jewels and operating at a frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour. Boasting a power reserve of approximately 30 hours, the movement is exceptionally thin with a thickness of just 1.64 mm. The dial is made from 18-carat gold and coated with lacquer, showcasing exquisite maki-e artwork that depicts pine trees and cranes, symbolizing longevity and good fortune in Japanese culture. Completing the watch’s refined aesthetic is an elegant clasp adorned with a polished half Maltese Cross, which subtly nods to the brand's iconic emblem.
