TRUE ROMANCE

Our finest hour requires an elegantly edgy labour of love

-

A classic with a twist is the motto behind Vacheron Constantin’s edgy sophistica­tion, making its timepieces the natural choice for the chic watchlovin­g bride. This piece builds on the Heures Créatives collection, originally released in 2015; drawing from the archives, pieces were inspired by everything from the curving forms of the Belle Époque era to the slyly humorous design codes of the 1970s.

The Heures Créatives Heure Romantique model borrows from the romance of the art nouveau period, taking inspiratio­n from a 1916 timepiece and translatin­g it into a contempora­ry silhouette. Flowers, drawn in white gold and studded with diamonds, are sweet not saccharine, while glittering leaves branching from their petals make a brilliant foil for the delicate mother-of-pearl dial.
