Introducing: The Vacheron Constantin Égérie collection
The process of creating fine feminine watchmaking continues today, with the announcement of the Égérie collection — a dedicated women’s line that is directly inspired by the dual worlds of haute horlogerie and haute couture. Both the highest executions within their respective fields that see an equal focus on peerless quality and creativity, melding to create something beautiful and precious.
For Égérie, that beauty is all about the interplay of texture and shape. The collection of five new models, with either a moon phase or date complication (each offered in pink gold and steel, with an additional fully pavé option). The cases are classically round pebble shape — 35mm for the date and 37mm for the moon phase, but there’s a twist, literally. Much like the cult classic Historiques American 1921, the entire movement has been given a 45-degree tweak, seeing the crown and small complication positioned — unusually, but comfortably — at the two o’clock position. The unusual layout isn’t the only remarkable element of this dial. There’s a series of overlapping or concentric rings which make for strong design. The diamond-set bezel is echoed with the circle of diamonds that frames the subdial. The hours sit on their own crisp silvered opaline ring, while the central and outer sections have a ‘pleated’ pattern that is compelling and crisp.
