Vacheron Constantin has introduced the Égérie Moon Phase Spring Blossom timepiece. Offered as a limited edition of 100, this watch design combines a 37 millimetre 18K 5N pink gold case with a pink mother-of-pearl dial and a calfskin strap miniature-painted by hand with delicate floral motifs. This marks the first time the Maison has applied this hand-painting craft directly to a watch strap.
The Égérie Moon Phase Spring Blossom timepiece's moon phase display sits within a circle of diamonds positioned between one and three o'clock. The winding crown features a moonstone. Each numbered watch comes with two additional interchangeable straps in shiny pink alligator and blush-pink grosgrain fabric.
Vacheron Constantin presents its intricate and luxurious timepiece in a dedicated watch pouch and strap case made from the same decorated leather.
