Just happened to witness and handle these magnificent pieces from VC. Just 'wow"..... METIERS D'ART: LA S Y MBOLIQUE DES LAQUES This is the set of three Urushi-Lacquer or Japan or Maki-e dial and back. Those three has meaning - not trilogy or Trinity but ...  

and not only with watches. From the watches you have shown, my favorite is the autumn version. Superb! Only the numbers ... are prohibitive, at least for me. Ken, thanks a lot for sharing that very special crafts with us and maybe there is one more good r... 

.. so, please do! Ken

for this look at the little seen Metiers d'Art pieces from Vacheron Constantin. I like that Vacheron Constantin is not requiring collectors to get all three of a series with the Florilege and Univers Infinish collectors. Bill

What a great review of these special pieces. Please tell me, are the diamond-laden watches favored in Japan as in China?

For men.... only those who MAY attend some kind of high-class parties, but it is really rare.... Ken

... that is really breathtaking in fresh..... Thank you! Ken

and as usually great post my friend Stunning pieces indeed but non of them makes my heart tick faster Best regards D

... craftmanship once in a while in person, nonetheless..... Thank you, my friend! Ken

... many thanks! Yes, this series are always quite an art and seeing in person is just awesome. I was just lucky to be there.... Thank you! Ken
