While appreciating the engraved motif, some collectors express reservations about the 'open works' dial treatments, questioning their long-term appeal.

For the simple ones they are stamped, not guilloche. However the complication models are handcrafted.

I really like this dial on the 270th Anniversary edition of the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle.

As I think its design and added texture really add to the overall look of the watch. Wear and enjoy it in good health. Marc
