Today we look at the Vacheron
Constantin “Dove” watch. Inspired by famous graphic artist M.C. Escher,
Vacheron Constantin’s “piece unique” for the ONLY Watch 2011 auction is
a real beauty. The watch’s gold, enamelled and diamond-set dial
depicts the flight of red and white doves, but of course it is not so
simple. The dial adopts concepts such as geometry, symbolism and
motion, subtly nesting and layering them in order to generate a
beautiful dial that is sure to please anyone who might want to spend
countless hours pondering the meaning of it all — a perfect homage to
Escher!
Vacheron Constantin “Dove” for ONLY WATCH 2011
Unique Piece
40mm white gold case, automatic mechanical movement (Vacheron Caliber 2460 SC)
Within the case beats high-precision mechanical self-winding Vacheron
Constantin Calibre 2460, bearing the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva.
This timepiece is inspired by a drawing by M.C. Escher – a Dutch
engraver and graphic artist (1898-1972) whose work was based on a subtle
play on architecture, perspective and space. The red and white doves –
symbols of hope and love – are exquisitely interlocking like jigsaw
puzzle parts, creating a truly stunning decorative motif.
