Métiers d'Art Les Aérostiers : 7610U/000G-B246

The Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art Les Aérostiers Bordeaux 1784, reference 7610U/000G-B246, is a remarkable timepiece introduced in 2018. Part of the Métiers d'Art collection, this watch draws inspiration from an 18th-century balloon flight that occurred in Bordeaux, France, capturing an era where ballooning was celebrated as a groundbreaking endeavor. The dial showcases an intricately hand-engraved and micro-sculpted gold hot-air balloon, set against a vivid plique-à-jour enamel background, offering a stunning visual experience. The watch features a white gold case with a solid caseback and has a diameter of 40.0 mm, providing a classic and sophisticated appearance. It operates with the calibre 2460 G4/1 movement, which elegantly displays hours, minutes, day, and date without traditional hands. The watch exemplifies Vacheron Constantin's dedication to craftsmanship and artistry through its detailed depiction of fabrics and mythological motifs on the balloon. As part of a limited edition of just five pieces, it highlights exclusivity and the brand's deep appreciation for historical significance and technical mastery.
