Tribute to Explorer Naturalists – A Voyage of Scientific Discovery

The inspiration for this collection is rooted in the early 19th-century scientific voyages that transformed our understanding of the world. The watch acts as a portal to this era, translating the charts and discoveries of these naturalists into an artistic masterpiece. The meticulous fusion of hand-engraving, which captures the fine details of terrain and flora, alongside the richness of artisanal enameling, creates a narrative depth that celebrates the courageous legacy of the Beagle expedition.

Double Aesthetic Craftsmanship – A Fusion of Techniques

The mastery of the Vacheron Constantin Métiers d’Art division is on full display here. By combiningtraditional hand-engraving with nuanced enameling, the dial achieves a double aesthetic quality: one that is textured and sculptural, and one that is vibrant and luminescent. This marriage of techniques ensures that the watch is not merely a tool for time, but a sculptural work of art that rewards close inspection, revealing new details of the explorers’ journey with every gaze.

Caliber 1120 AT/1 – Revolutionizing Time Display

The mechanical heart is the self-winding Caliber 1120 AT/1, specifically selected for its unique architecture. This movement features a satellite hours display, which gracefully tracks time across the dial, ensuring that the central artwork remains the primary focal point. Crafted to the stringent standards of the Hallmark of Geneva (Poinçon de Genève), the movement serves as a guarantee of reliability and horological excellence, perfectly mirroring the precision required by the explorers whose spirit this watch honors.
