The Égerié Creative Edition by Vacheron Constantin is more than just a timepiece. It is a work of art inspired by Burano, a Venetian island from where this unique form of needle lace making originates. Gem-setting, tapisserie, enameling, and engraving are the four different decorative techniques used for this design.
The collection is an ode to femininity that undoubtedly mixes custom high-end fashion design with high-end watchmaking. This timepiece features a white gold case, which is 37 millimeters in diameter and 10.53 millimeters thin, and is entirely covered with over 4 carats of diamonds, including a rose-cut diamond crown. The flawlessly sculpted metal lace design is lined with diamonds, as well as the moon-phase display which features two mother of pearl discs set against a starry sky hidden behind an enamel cloud. The white gold lace threads incorporated in this piece are very delicate, so it must be expertly handled to maintain its integrity.
The daintiness of the Égerié Creative Edition not only reflects the silhouettes of the 21st century, but the four techniques used to create this piece work in harmony to create a dazzling arrangement. This just speaks to the caliber of workmanship that is involved in creating this masterpiece. Image source via https://www.watches-news.com/egerie-creative-edition/.
