The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac is definitely an exclusive type of artistic watches, in line with the 12-year cycle. Hence, the series are limited to 12 pieces. In the year after, we’re entering Year from the Equine, that was new inspiration for that brand’s craftsmen and artists to develop these exquisite masterpieces. By using concepts of the skill of paper-cutting or Jianzhi which was born in China, Vacheron Constantin provided beautiful decoration for their dials. They showcase the leaf motif, characteristic for traditional Chinese iconography, that is directly engraved on the gold dial. By subtle stage-setting of several reliefs put on the golden base, the brand’s engravers produced an excellent depth effect, while threads which represent bamboo stalks seem like floating within the surface. Probably the most impressive jobs are visible around the equine figure, using the each and every detail performed towards the perfection. After engravings, the Swiss watch manufacturing company applied unusual, Grand Feu enamelling technique, which stressed the visual concentration of the coloured dial.
Because of a high-end Calibre 2460 G4, the Legend of the Chinese Zodiac watch shows some time and date inside a fantastic way. Rather than using hands, this excellent watch features four apertures, placed round the central motif, to show discs that demonstrate hrs, minutes, day and date. Visible via a sapphire crystal case-back, the self-winding movement includes a 22 karat gold oscillating mass, decorated by dynamic geometrical motif in line with the form of the Maltese Mix. This mechanism works in the frequency of 28,800 oscillations each hour and guarantees around 40 hrs of power-reserve.
There are two versions, one version having a rose gold case includes a brown dial along with a matching stylish leather strap, at the same time the titanium version has a blue dial along with a black leather strap. Both cases include the diameter of 40 mm and also have nicely polished finishes.
