A sleek and cool finish, or a warm and inviting tone? Vacheron Constantin joins the Lunar New Year spirit with two new festive timepieces.

As part of the brand’s Métiers d’Art collection, behold The Legend of the Zodiac – Year of the Snake. This collection is one that truly showcases Vacheron Constantin’s mastery of horological artistry. Not only does it aim to create sophisticated watches, but it also strives to design wearable, delicate pieces of art – on the wrist!

This limited-edition watch celebrates the snake, a revered symbol of good fortune and wisdom in Chinese culture. The snake’s image is exquisitely rendered through meticulous hand-engraving, set against a backdrop of miniature enamel depicting a vibrant ecosystem. Dominating the dial, the snake emerges as a majestic centerpiece, a fitting tribute to the auspicious Year of the Snake in 2025. This timepiece exemplifies the artistry of Métiers d’Art, showcasing the exceptional skills of master engravers and enamelers. Powered by a self-winding movement bearing the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva, it guarantees both exceptional craftsmanship and unwavering reliability.

The timepiece comes in two variants; two colours. For a cooler, more exquisite feel, opt for the 40 mm in 950 platinum. For a warmer, more alluring hue, the 40 mm 18K 4N pink gold serves as an amazing option. Either way, both watches exude unparalleled craftsmanship, offering discerning buyers a choice that would align with their individual preferences and style.

Let’s delve deeper into the details of this festive Year of the Snake watch. The 40 mm diameter case, with a restrained 12.72mm thickness, ensures a comfortable hold on the wrist. It boasts a water resistance of 3 bar (30m) and robust magnetic resistance to ensure everyday wearability. The 18K gold dial, adorned with exquisite opaque miniature enamel, serves as a canvas for intricate hand-engraved 18K gold relief appliques depicting a snake and a rocky base.

Tone-on-tone discs elegantly indicate the hours, minutes, days, and the date. Completing this masterpiece is a supple alligator leather strap, available in distinguished dark blue for the platinum variant or classic brown for the pink gold – secured by a double buckle crafted from either 950 platinum or 18k pink gold respectively, seamlessly echoing the case material for a harmonious and refined aesthetic.
