Watches limited edition - an excellent investment (Part 2)


Even more rare and expensive limited edition - collection set Metiers d’Art Les 4 Saisons, created to 250th anniversary of Vacheron Constantin. The edition is limited to 48 copies, 12 copies for each season: yellow, white and red gold, and also platinum. The price of watches depends on the metal of a watch-case: about 120 thousand dollars for model in gold and 150 thousand dollars - in platinum. The smart mechanism displays hours, minutes, days of week and date on rotating disks in four small windows. In the center of a dial - manually engraved gold image of Apollo on a chariot with four horses; all the rest space is the enamel miniature in grand feu and champleve techniques, reflecting the mood and colors of the corresponding season.
The novelty of this year: Vacheron Constantin Metiers d’Art Masques. Vacheron Constantin painters were inspired by the exhibit of Geneva-based largest Primitive art museum Barbier-Mueller Museum. Designers placed in the center of a dial tiny copies of tribal masks from the various countries of the world. Primitive art is in fashion now, ritual masks are sold for the record prices in €6 million, and Vacheron Constantin has offered rather unexpected solution. These edition will include only 25 collection sets consisting of 4 watches everyone, with different masks and in different 1,5 in cases: white gold - a mask from Alaska, pink gold - Indonesia, yellow gold - China, platinum - Congo. Using modified mechanism Les 4 Saisons, which allows placing miniature in the center of a dial, masters of the company have achieved the surprising effect: it seems that the mask soars in the watch-case as the stark guard of time.
