Vacheron Constantin

I'm glad you feel the same way!

 

Surprisingly, the black Melusina was sold three times at auction: I would not let go such a piece, personally, and I know Roni Madhvani deeply regret not have bought it (he could have before it came to market)...
Best, Emmanuel

Vacheron Constantin & the Mermaids

I discovered recently the existence of these two “ Métiers d'art ” timepieces made by Vacheron Constantin in 1953 . Both feature a cloisonné enamel dial made by Stern Frères and depicting a mermaid , probably the twin-tailed Melusina . Ref. 4710 in yellow...  

My pleasure, Filip!

Some really stunning pieces....fun to see and discover these long lost references.

Wild stuff, quattro.

And I thought Rolex had the best "nipple" dials... ;-)

I'm glad you feel the same way!

My precious daughter decided to end the comment abruptly.

the art work on dials is amazing. Arshile Gorky is my idol. Best, Ashot ...  

Wow, wonderful!

I don't think I've seen a lot of his work, unfortunately. Will keep him in mind! Best, Emmanuel
