Vacheron Constantin Masters of Art Copernicus Celestial Body 2460 RT Vacheron Constantin Vacheron Constantin's Masters of Arts is a group of elite artists who can give their work a unique and intense emotional resonance. Since 1755, with the creation of one after another genuine works of art, their spirit of innovation and excellence in the art masters from generation to generation in the long history. The new Métiers d'Art Masters Collection Copernicus celestial spheres The Copernicus Celestial Ball 2460 RT watch fully demonstrates the brand's artistic accomplishments. Vacheron Constantin presents the astronomical world in the eyes of Nicolaus Copernicus with its orthodox white gold case. This new collection, unveiled at the 2017 International Congress of Haute Horlogerie in Geneva (SIHH), is a fusion of time-honored and contemporary decorative craftsmanship designed to honor "heliocenosis," one of the greatest discoveries in human history. 7600U / 000G-B211 (hand carved) Vacheron Constantin: Copernican revolution As a mathematician and philosopher, Nicholas Copernicus published The Theory of the Operation of Celestial Body in 1543, setting off a major astronomical revolution in the history of scientific development. His hypothesis challenged the geocentric ancient and long-esteemed Aristotle and Ptolemy - that the Earth is at rest and in the center of the universe. In this book, Copernicus proposed the theory of heliocentric theory, which not only described the Earth's rotation around the axis, but also had a satellite - the moon, and most importantly, put forward the theory that the Earth revolves around the sun. Decades later, the theory was further refined, including the orbiting of elliptical orbits. This completely new theory of space has triggered a profound philosophical reflection on the human perception of the world. It overthrows all the existing beliefs and leads mankind to break the shackles of the vast universe of knowledge. This revolution has had far-reaching effects in all fields of human thought. Vacheron Constantin, through her new work, pays tribute to this major discovery that made the world look like an earth-shaking change. 7600U / 000G-B212 (large flame enamel) Vacheron Constantin: The same dial, three different interpretations Métiers d'Art Artiste Collection Copernicus celestial spheres The Copernicus Celestial Ball 2460 RT is evidence of the extraordinary creativity of the Vacheron Constantin masters. The masters of art have designed three different dials to interpret the same theme in three different ways. Inspired by the artwork of the 17th century Dutch-German draftsman Andreas Cellarius, the famous color star chart "Harmonia Macrocosmica" is also taken from his hand, Out of the gorgeous baroque style. 7600U / 000G-B226 (Sapphire) The dial of the series consists of two distinct parts. The center of the oval is decorated with a hand-carved pink gold sun face, while the outer ring disc uses three decorative techniques. A thin, elliptical orbit around the two discs provides space for Earth's revolution. The Earth uses a small gold micro-convex disk with a diameter of only 6.8 mm and draws a map of the mainland of the northern hemisphere based on the Lambert conical projection method. Vacheron Constantin: Bright fire enamel art The first of the three watches uses a variety of enamel processes that make the brand proud. The enameler draws inspiration from the Copernicus heavenly body map drawn by Andreas Cerarius. The Earth, made of enamel-filled enamel, displays the blue ocean and continent, the real art of portraying patterns in limited spaces. Set against the background of a starry sky on a gold substrate, decorated with pastel-colored enamel glaze. Fine lines show the movement of the five celestial bodies on the dial. Each running object represents a planet, the same as winter and summer solstice, named after Latin. Dial outer ring decorated with 12 constellations, made of enamel painted. First, a template to draw the outline, then feather pen modification processing and color with a brush to complete. The dial is extremely patient and attentive, working longer than a month and requiring repeated firing at a high temperature of 850 ° C. Finally, the grindstone is polished and polished. These extraordinary productions have made remarkable Geneva watchmaking traditions for centuries. Vacheron Constantin: carving art The second dial inspired by the Baroque aesthetic, hand-carved. 12 constellation pattern on the platinum plate intertwined phase error. Engravers show rich ramolayé details that highlight the layers of hand-carved motifs and the distinctive lighting effects that result from the bevelled subtle interaction. In the magnifying glass under observation, Sagittarius muscular lines full and powerful Capricorn beard hair lifelike. On the earth that revolves around the Golden Sun, every exquisite treatment pursues the ultimate: the engraved sparkling ripples float on the ocean; the opposite continent is polished to give it a golden glittering shine. Can be described as extraordinary interpretation of the brand's skill. Vacheron Constantin: Laser Engraving and Hand Engraving on Sapphire Crystal The third dial decorated a number of innovative technologies. With the beautiful interaction of the Earth and the Sun, the constellation takes the dotted 3D effect sky as the background. The hand-carved Earth shines with a delicate light on the ocean and the glittering land, creating a strong contrast. The midnight blue hand-painted dial is covered with engraved transparent sapphire crystal on the back. Vacheron Constantin uses the innovative laser engraving technique to draw the constellation pattern outline. Subsequent carvers to highlight the three-dimensional design and sapphire effect of pure light handmade. The front of the laser engraving constellation pattern is also covered with Super-Luminova. Luminous coating. The splendid skies of the stars stand in harmony with the vastness of the night sky and shine in the darkness. Vacheron Constantin: Original display recognition skills These several Geneva-certified timepieces carry the self-designed, developed and manufactured 2460 RT self-winding mechanical movement. Vacheron Constantin spent three years for the beauty of today's heart to describe the beauty of the sky offers the possibility. Two 4N gold triangular outer ring hands indicate time - one hollow hand indicates hour and one solid hand indicates minute - both glide slowly on bezel and are driven by a special large gear outside the movement drive. The elliptical orbit of the Earth's orbit around the sun has become a highlight of this timepiece. This show not only catches the eye, but also records the passage of time. The first complex feature makes the earth rotate in a 24-hour cycle with the same cycle as the Flat Sun. The second complex function relies on the "return" gear system in the movement to show that the elliptical orbit of the Earth orbiting the sun is 365.2421898 days a cycle, equivalent to a regression year. Its extremely precise mechanical construction shows the movement of the earth in detail and only needs to be calibrated every 8,000 years to correct the error of one day and can almost be regarded as a timepiece that can never be adjusted! The precision is so sophisticated that it confirms the determination of the brand to develop new movements. This timepiece masterpiece also coincides with Vacheron Constantin in the analog time display, as always, innovative ability, which is superb watch brand and 260 years of breakthrough innovation are inextricably linked. Vacheron Constantin: Delicate detail Through the back of the watch you can enjoy the gold within the movement put Tuo. Sapphire crystal case engraved with the same theme: the orbit of the ellipse is surrounded by the dazzling sun. This 352-part self-winding mechanical movement has 36 hours of power reserve. To the perfect master polishing process to follow the traditional watchmaking, handmade to create. Vacheron Constantin: Diameter The 43mm bezel is engraved with twelve distinctive constellations.
