Description

A grand classic among the Vacheron Constantin watch collections, the Traditionnelle line revels in testifying to its undeniable affinities with artistic crafts. After having launched a 38 mm-diameter version in 2013, the Manufacture showcases once again a multitude of artistic feats with a daintily feminine 33 mm-diameter version entirely paved with several hundred round-cut diamonds, launched at Watches & Wonders 2015. Beneath the sparkling elegance of the snow-set dial beats hand-wound Calibre 1400 bearing the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva.

In a spectacular display of working with light, the gem-setter has opted to alternate between two different gem-setting techniques to play on various sparkling and shining effects according to the surfaces to be lit up. The bezel and sides of the 18-carat white gold case are paved with 196 grain-set diamonds, while 394 diamonds shimmer intensely on the dial thanks to the magic of the snow setting. The subtly random reflections of this clever gem-setting contribute to a glowing visual effect achieved by juxtaposing precious stones of varying sizes so as to entirely cover the underlying gold surface.
