As the Lunar New Year approaches, the year of the rabbit is being celebrated in style. Focusing on the rabbit’s symbolism of patience and sincerity, Vacheron Constantine has embraced these virtues through the intricately crafted Métiers D’Art, The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac, 40mm limited edition platinum watch. 

The Métiers D’Art, The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac, aims to encompass all that the rabbit symbolizes through the carefully crafted watch face hand engraved by Vacheron Constantine’s in-house engravers and enamellers. With a rabbit as the watch’s main feature, this limited edition piece was also created by re-interpreting the technique of decoupage from China and Switzerland. Sold in platinum and pink gold, alongside an alligator strap, its self-winding property, elevates the design.

Specializing in decorative techniques and intricate designs, these watches are known as true works of art that represent skills that have been passed down from multiple generations. Not only is the rabbit represented in this design through the face, but the time and care taken to create this work of art encompass the patience and sincerity guided through this new year.
