Vacheron Constantin Engraved Shell.This year, ANT Watchmaking Studio has launched the brand new Vacheron Constantin TRADITIONNELLE Tourbillon watch, showcasing the mythical imagery of the dragon and phoenix playing with a pearl through intricately carved inlays on the hand-engraved dial. This design vividly interprets the Chinese legend of the dragon and phoenix, attracting the attention of many enthusiasts of Eastern culture.The case and bezel are adorned with cloud patterns, a process that begins with outlining the general design using a tracing needle. This is followed by the use of a more precise engraving tool for detailed carving, and finally, the piece undergoes both matte and polished finishing to achieve a refined texture. The lifelike representations of the dragon and phoenix on the dial are created by first stamping the outlines on metal, followed by raised floral engraving, skillfully crafted by the hands of the engraver to produce exquisite details like scales and feathers, culminating in a polishing process that reveals incredible allure.The dials come in silver, blue, and black, all of which are first machine-engraved before being electroplated for color. Each combination of colors offers a distinct visual experience: the silver exudes grandeur, the blue signifies auspiciousness, and the black radiates understated luxury. To harmonize with the overall style of the dial, the hands are crafted from pink gold or gold.The tourbillon at the 6 o'clock position features the brand's iconic Maltese cross, seamlessly integrating with the dragon and phoenix motifs on the dial, creating a visually appealing and harmonious composition. The dimensions are 12.4*41mm, paired with the latest original folding pin buckle, and it boasts a manual winding power reserve of over 72 hours! With the dragon lying low and the phoenix chick rising, peace can be secured for the world!
