Vacheron Constantin's Métiers d'Art interactive watchmaking exhibition in Beverly Hills

Vacheron Constantin opened up its Métiers d'Art "The master craftsmen of time" interactive watchmaking exhibition on Wed February 27, 2008 at Sotheby's in Beverly Hills.  I felt very lucky to be invited to this amazing exhibit, and I also had the opportunity to view the Masks Collection.

For those who are interested in viewing this exhibit, it is open to the general public on Wed February 27 through Saturday March 1, 2008 from 10am to 4pm at Sotheby's on 9665 Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills.  And in conjuction with this exhibition, the Vacheron "The Masks" collection and the original masks itself from the Barbier-Mueller Museum in Geneva will be exhibited at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, Royal Suite and can be viewed by appointment by calling  (877) 862-7555.

The basic message of this exhibit is to spread the word of Vacheron's use of traditional watchmaking crafts such as enameling, guillochage, master-watchmaking, engraving, and decoration in both historic and modern watches.

I will do my best to take those who are unable to attend the exhibition on a virtual tour of this great exhibition.

Cheers,
Anthony
