Emmanuel, known as quattro on WatchProSite, presents a truly unique Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle World Time. This bespoke Cabinotiers piece showcases the ancient Moroccan art of Zellij, transforming the dial into a canvas of hand-cut geometric tilework. His post invites readers to appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship and cultural integration that defines this exceptional timepiece.
The reference 86060 represents Vacheron Constantin's Patrimony Contemporaine in a larger case format. This model sits within the Contemporaine series, offering the traditional Patrimony aesthetic in contemporary proportions.
The 42mm case is crafted from 18k rose gold and features a fixed bezel configuration. The silver dial is protected by sapphire crystal, while an automatic movement powers the timepiece. Water resistance extends to 30 meters, reflecting its dress watch orientation.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking a modern interpretation of classical watchmaking principles in precious metal. The 42mm case size positions it for those preferring larger proportions within the Patrimony collection, while the rose gold case material and silver dial combination provides a refined aesthetic suitable for formal wear.
thank you for sharing
and I'm sure the owner is happy! ;-) Best, Emmanuel
What would the point of making a bespoke piece if you don't make every part of it as you want them to be? What would you change? Best, Emmanuel
It would be very nice to see your vision materialize !
Whilst I can appreciate the incredible work required to make this dial on the watch it really is not my style and to be honest looking at the centre of the dial makes my head hurt. Marc
Is it because these mosaic have a kind of hypnotic effect ? Best, Emmanuel
