Swiss watchmaker Vacheron Constantin officially opened the doors to its flagship boutique at the Dubai Mall in Dubai, UAE, earlier this month.
Reflective of the brand’s elegance and intricate craftsmanship, the boutique has among its features a VIP room in addition to a private watchmaker who offers his exclusive services and a splendid haute horlogerie experience.
The boutique is a graceful space that reiterates the brand’s commitment to luxury and allows visitors to discover Vacheron Constantin’s quest for excellence and mastery in its many beautiful timepieces filled with high complications on display.
The inaugural function was held for select media after which they were escorted to the VIP Lounge to learn more about the brand’s anniversary, historical timepieces and Harmony collection. During the same evening, a special cocktail event was held for the brand’s VIP guests where they got the opportunity to intimately discover the Harmony collection.
Vacheron Constantin’s flagship boutique displays its exquisite timepieces in elegant showcases. Flaunting the same distinguished ambiance that its counterparts around the world enjoy, the boutique mixes modern elements into traditional design through styles that reveal the brand’s commitment to excellence and artistic perfection. Visitors are treated to a cozy yet very luxurious atmosphere with clean lines and beautiful designs wherein they get to discover the brand’s history, tradition and culture.
One of the main highlights of the refined boutique is the Harmony collection, which had its first seven models unveiled on the occasion of the manufacture’s 260th anniversary.
Issued in limited editions, these contemporary timepieces feature a design inspired by one of the brand’s first wristwatch chronographs introduced in 1928. At the heart of these generous cases with their reinvented aesthetic beat new calibers – entirely designed, developed and produced in-house – focused on monopusher chronographs. A first version equipped with a split-second function sets slimness records with its ultra-thin self-winding movement measuring just 5.20 mm thick, while a second model stages a fascinating tourbillon and the third variation is equipped – like the original – with a pulsometric scale. Representing elegant horological complications that are some of the most highly sought after and most complex to produce, the monopusher chronograph models are complemented by a ladies’ double-pusher chronograph. A trio of dual-time watches housing a new in-house movement rounds off this unusual range of timepieces.
Like the other most recent creations from the manufacture, these special editions bear the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva and perfectly complement the tasteful setting of the new boutique.
Established in 1755 in Geneva, Vacheron Constantin is the world’s oldest watch manufacture and has been making watches without any interruption for almost 260 years.
