Last year Vacheron Constantin introduced the Métiers d’Art Villes Lumières collection with three models. These models show the city of New York, Paris and Geneva. Now, VC launches a new model, the Vacheron Constantin Métiers d’Art Villes Lumières Beijing. Indeed, with the Chinese city of Beijing. And we suspect it won’t be the last model.
The dial of the Vacheron Constantin Métiers d’Art Villes Lumières Beijing shows an aerial view of the city. To get on the dial of this VC model, the city should be very illuminated by night. This creates bright contrast between roads, houses and other building as well as rivers, parks and landmarks.
The Vacheron Constantin Métiers d’Art Villes Lumières Beijing is the fourth model of the collection
If you look very close to the details on the dial you will see animated streets surround the vast Forbidden City, which remains less brightly lit and more mysterious. Also the Meridian Gate, the Gate of Heavenly Peace and Tian’anmen Square can be found on the meticulous cartography. Which is composed of enamel and precious powders from diamonds, pearl, gold and platinum. In the article about the first three models we describe a bit of the making process.
Inside houses VC calibre 2460 SC, the same as in the other models of this collections. All sizes, materials and other specifications are the same. So is the price, presumably. The reference numbers of the other models are:
