Tribute To Great Civilisations - New Series

 

Vacheron Constantin continues paying “Tribute to Great Civilisations” in collaboration with the Louvre Museum with a new series of four “métiers d'art” watches.


Like the previous quartet from 2022, which was also dedicated to Great Civilisations, all 4 timepieces are limited to 15 pieces featuring a 42 x 12.9 mm pink or white gold case.

And the watches are powered by automatic calibre 2460 G4/2 whose gold rotor is engraved with the eastern façade of the Louvre.

Do you like this series or do you think it's just another series, like the ones Vacheron Constantin has been making for years now?

Thanks for looking.

Best, Emmanuel
