The highly prestigious no. 1 of a limited edition of only 10 pieces, this beguiling and stunningly attractive mixture of haute horology and artisan craftsmanship features a handmade enamel dial by master enameller Muriel Séchaud, one of the few artisans creating hand-painted enamel dials at the turn of the century for Vacheron Constantin using traditional techniques. The geometric design in blue and red takes its inspiration from Iznik ceramics of the Ottoman Empire, Muriel Séchaud has created the dial using the techniques of champlevé enamel and miniature painting.
