Vacheron Constantin Métiers d’Art Villes Lumières Piece Unique - The Lights of Sydney

This is the Métiers d’Art Villes Lumières - The Lights of Sydney.

The Métiers d’Art Villes Lumières collection is an invitation to embark upon a nocturnal journey above cities bubbling with creativity. So far, we’ve seen the lights of Geneva, Paris, New York, Beijing, Tokyo and now Sydney.

The dial here shows a miniature ‘light cartography’ of Sydney brought about by way of an encounter between two exceptional arts: hand-applied precious powder, a technique mastered by Japanese guest artist Yoko Imai and traditional grand feu champlevé enamelling.

The lights of Sydney shine through the blue-tinted night. The golden gleam of grand feu champlevé enamel reveals the deep blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, rimming emerald green parks and gardens. Its brilliance outlines the contours of the city, distinctly displaying the location of legendary landmarks such as the Opera House, the historic port of Walsh Bay and Harbour Bridge. The gold dust boats gliding across enamelled water, the streets and the centres of activity are adorned with precious spangles testifying to the nightlife of the Australian metropolis.
