Vacheron Constantin, the world’s oldest Haute Horlogerie manufacture with almost 260 years of uninterrupted history, shone brilliantly at the 24th edition of the Jewellery Arabia exhibition in Bahrain. Held at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre, Jewellery Arabia is the largest and most prestigious watches and jewellery exhibition in the Middle East that showcases world renowned names and ingenious designs from the world over. The show consistently attracts numerous high quality visitors from throughout the region.

 

Vacheron Constantin yet again marked a successful appearance at the prominent show and unveiled a set of beautiful creations that perfect showcase the brand’s values of proficiency, tradition and art. This year watch connoisseurs were treated to the following pieces from Vacheron Constantin:

 

Harmony

Issued in limited editions, the eminently contemporary timepieces in this collection feature a new cushion shape and a design inspired by one of the brand’s first wristwatch chronographs introduced in 1928. At the heart of these generous cases with their reinvented aesthetic beat new calibers – entirely designed, developed and produced in-house – focused on monopusher chronographs. Representing elegant horological complications that are some of the most highly sought after and most complex to produce, the monopusher chronograph models are complemented by a ladies’ double-pusher chronograph. A trio of dual-time watches housing a new in-house movement rounds off this unusual range of timepieces. Like the other most recent creations from the Manufacture, these special editions bear the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva.

 

Métiers d’art Arca

2015 brings a new milestone marking 260 years of uninterrupted history. On this occasion, the Manufacture is celebrating its boldness and expertise with new creations in the Métiers d’Art collection: 12 crystal table clocks. Each is equipped with a new Vacheron Constantin movement comprising a constant-force mechanism and a 30-day power reserve. The collection is one of the means by which Vacheron Constantin is demonstrating the twin mastery of Haute Horlogerie and artistic crafts for which it has become a prominent ambassador over successive generations.

 

Heures Créatives

Inspired design in a stimulating dialogue with sparkling diamonds, timeless feminine lines, a delightfully mischievous touch… Such are the attributes of the new Heures Créatives collection by Vacheron Constantin. The expertise of master watchmakers and jewellers is magnified by a graceful design opening up enthralling new prospects. The extraordinary 18-carat white gold watches exclusively set with diamonds are a perfect illustration of the imaginative powers that Vacheron Constantin has been demonstrating for the past 260 years
