Vacheron Constantin Unveils Les Cabinotiers Minute Repeater Tourbillon Watches: A Tribute to Art Deco and Arabesque Art
Geneva, Switzerland – Vacheron Constantin, a renowned name in the world of watchmaking excellence, has introduced two extraordinary timepieces: the Les Cabinotiers Minute Repeater Tourbillon – Tribute to Arabesque and the Les Cabinotiers Minute Repeater Tourbillon – Tribute to Art Deco style. These watches showcase the brand’s rich history and dedication to artistic craftsmanship and technical expertise.
According to a spokesperson for the Maison, “Vacheron Constantin’s journey through time and cultures has always been about honoring diversity and craftsmanship. Our latest creations in the Les Cabinotiers – Récits de Voyages collection are not just watches; they are stories of our heritage and artistic explorations.”
The Tribute to Arabesque edition is inspired by the intricate architectural designs found in the Muslim world, particularly the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. The detailed engraving on the watch took three months to complete and captures the essence of arabesque art’s intricate patterns. The master engraver described the watch as a canvas where each engraving tells a tale of architectural beauty.
On the other hand, the Tribute to Art Deco style pays homage to the iconic Chrysler Building in New York. The dial’s wood marquetry, a first for Vacheron Constantin, reflects the grandeur of Art Deco design. The marquetry artisan highlighted the meticulous craftsmanship involved in selecting woods and bringing the spirit of the Roaring Twenties to life.
Both editions are equipped with the in-house Calibre 2755 TMR, featuring a minute repeater and tourbillon regulator – showcasing Vacheron Constantin’s technical prowess. The combination of these complications and exceptional artistic craftsmanship demonstrates the Maison’s 270-year legacy of excellence in watchmaking.
These timepieces celebrate Vacheron Constantin’s enduring relationships with cultures and regions worldwide, especially the Middle East and New York. From its historic connections with the Ottoman Empire to its presence in bustling New York City, Vacheron Constantin embraces the diversity and cultural richness of global communities.
As a continuation of this legacy, the Les Cabinotiers Minute Repeater Tourbillon watches serve as not just timepieces, but storytellers, echoing the Maison’s values of openness and cultural admiration. These exclusive, single-piece editions are a tribute to the art of travel and the universal language of craftsmanship and beauty.
Founded in 1755, Vacheron Constantin is the world’s oldest continuously operating watch manufacturer. With a deep commitment to preserving the artistry of watchmaking, the Maison continues to create timepieces that blend technical excellence with artistic inspiration.
