Métiers d'Art Villes Lumières : 86222/000G-B105

The Vacheron Constantin Métiers d'Art Villes Lumières New York model, reference 86222/000G-B105, is a distinguished timepiece released in 2016. It features a 40.0 mm case crafted from white gold, enhancing its luxurious and refined appearance. One of the most captivating aspects of this watch is its dial, which is made of grand feu enamel—a technique known for its complexity and beauty. Japanese artist Yoko Imai has intricately applied tens of thousands of spangles onto the dial, creating a representation of New York's luminous skyline when viewed from above at night. These particles vary in shade and luminosity, interacting with the dark background to create a radiant composition that is more intense at the center and gradually softens towards the outer edges. The transparent caseback allows for an exquisite view of the watch's inner workings, aligning with Vacheron Constantin's reputation for exceptional craftsmanship. Part of the limited edition Métiers d'Art collection, this watch combines artistry and horological expertise in a celebration of one of the world's most iconic cities.
