As the Metiers d'Art Les Masques Masters Collection in Vacheron Constantin with the Barbier-Mueller Museum in Geneva, Metiers d'Art La Symbolique des Laques is a collection of masterpieces of culture, art and fine watches, The perfect combination of technology. Vacheron Constantin views the watch as a bridge of cultural communication As early as the 18th century, Francois Constantin had begun when he traveled around the world to spread Vacheron Constantin's fine watchmaking tradition. As a tribute to Vacheron Constantin's traditional watchmaking spirit, is there a better tribute than the series of masters of art that combine creative watchmaking, long history and decorative craftsmanship?

A journey to discover the perfect combination of craftsmanship and creativity, Metiers d'Art La Symbolique des Laques drew a watch about the encounter between the Kyoto brand Zohiko and Vacheron Constantin. Founded in Kyoto in 1661, Asahiko is the oldest traditional Japanese lacquer craft brand and Vacheron Constantin, founded in 1755, is the oldest watch manufacturer in the world that has never stopped. By coincidence, this beautiful encounter has been formed, but only genuine consensus can be established with deep consensus and common values. The same respect for the traditional attitude, so that the two brands work together.

The picture, meaning "sprayed", is one of the most ingenious techniques in paint technology, and one of the few craftsmen skilled in the art.

Second paragraph: frog (Kaeru) and hydrangea

Frogs in Asia have an admirable meaning and are more symbolized as a symbol of return in Japan because the frog's Japanese name is kaeru, which is the same as "return". Known for its loyalty, frogs are legendary no matter how far apart the frog will be back to its original location forever. Frogs living near riverside or paddy fields are always close to humans, so frogs are naturally associated with prosperity in a society built on agriculture and rice. Whenever spring comes and the world recovers, frogs are always heard. If the frog decides to live in a person's garden, it will protect the owner from danger and doom.

The frog, commensurate with the hydrangea flower, is one of the most acclaimed animals of the Far Eastern mythological tradition. Symbolizes patience, just as the painters needed by Yaniko craftsmen to portray the lifelike frog on the dial. Eyes blinking using the hirame process, first sprinkle a layer of hirame powder, then paint to deepen the color; the use of momidashi skills polished stone frog body to capture light. The use of kakiwari art shows a different level of lacquer, mainly used to depict the details of the texture of the leaves. Circular pond, on the dial like waves rippling, bring out the watch this quiet and peaceful feeling.

Carp not only symbolizes persistence, but also is famous for courage and determination. Many Chinese and Japanese legends praised the carp's counter-current courage, no matter how turbulent it was. In Japan, although carp usually lives in still waters, it often represents the dynamics and vitality of water. Carp is also a symbol of achievement and good luck. Carp is everywhere in Japan on May 5 in the traditional children's day (kodomo no hi) and in the Dragon Boat Festival (tanngo no sekku).

The combination of carp and waterfall symbolizes strength and will. On the dial, carp elegant shuttle in the turbulent water. The iro-katame technique adds gold or silver powder to the paint, then polishes it in stark contrast to the black background. The waterfall on the back slowly flows. The waterfall uses the maki bokashi technique, sprinkled with gold powder on the paint to show the fuzzy graphics.

These three watches are a unique interpretation of beauty and self-transcendence of culture. Chia-painted craft heritage after a century, but without losing the personality and precious characteristics. Skilled art is symbolized by the symbol of aura, firmly in the depths of people's memory, rooted in Japan, the Far East's history and the world's artistic heritage. Each depicting graphics, whether animal, plant or mineral, tells a story. Once combined, these graphics translate into various symbolic meanings, dating back to ancient legends, literary works, and poems. This year, the theme of longevity is a traction line, string together these three new watch. What is more symbolic is that this theme has witnessed the inheritance of world art and culture. This heritage has been meticulously interpreted and interpreted in every masterpiece of Vacheron Constantin.
