Métiers d'Art Villes Lumières : 86222/000G-B104

The Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art Villes Lumières Paris, reference number 86222/000G-B104, is a striking timepiece that was released in 2016 as part of the brand's Métiers d'Art collection. This watch features a 40.0 mm case crafted from White Gold, providing a luxurious framework for its intricate dial. The dial is made from grand feu enamel and is adorned with tens of thousands of spangles meticulously applied by Japanese artist Yoko Imai, creating a shimmering representation of the City of Light, Paris. The particles vary in shade and luminosity, enhancing the depth and dynamism of the composition, which transitions from an intense radiance at the center to softer hues towards the edges. A transparent caseback allows for a view of the watch's movement, underscoring Vacheron Constantin's dedication to craftsmanship both inside and out. The watch combines artistic expression with horological precision, offering a unique interpretation of Paris as seen from above at night. As part of a limited edition series, it reflects an intersection of traditional artistry and modern design techniques.
