FOUNDED IN 1755, Vacheron Constantin is the world's oldest watch Manufacture in continuous production for over 260 years, faithfully perpetuating a proud heritage of watchmaking excellence through generations of master artisans. And so it is no surprise that they have embarked on a grandiloquent project, conceiving of the Métiers d'Art Tribute to Great Civilisations.
Famed for its horological showpieces, the most well-known among them, the Reference 57260, a single highly complicated mechanical pocket watch, featuring 57 complications; Vacheron Constantin's Métiers d'Art Great Civilisations stands in opposition as an act of horological restraint, allowing its tribute to bygone Empires to speak through artisanal, micro-sculptures.
Inspired by emblematic masterpieces of the Louvre, each of the four Métiers d'Art Tribute to Great Civilisations explores the majesty of antiquity expressed across four eras; the main theme originated in the museum's incredible collection of antiquities: the Persian Empire under Darius the Great; the Egypt of the pharaohs from the time of the Middle Kingdom; the Hellenistic period in Greece; and the birth of the Roman Empire with the advent of Augustus.
