whatsappDescription
Vacheron Constantin’s limited Métiers d’Art series is dedicated to the voyages of great explorers. Each timepiece features a 40mm case in 18K yellow gold, housing an extraordinarily detailed dial that pays tribute to historic expeditions through hand-crafted enameling and engraving.
Also part of the series is the Vacheron Constantin ref. 47070/000J-9076 commemorating Ferdinand Magellan’s circumnavigation of the globe. The dial depicts Magellan’s route from Spain into the Pacific Ocean, with references to South America and Southeast Asia. Subtle shifts in color distinguish land, sea, and navigational paths.
All dials move away from a conventional hour-and-minute layout, using wandering hours at the top of the dial and a retrograde minute hand that returns after each sweep. Vacheron Constantin powers this display with its in-house Caliber 1126AT, finished to Geneva Seal standards. The series places emphasis on narrative and handcraftsmanship, presenting each watch as a horological work intended for collectors.
