Vacheron Constantin combines fine leather with platinum
19/01/2010
Luxury watchmaker Vacheron Constantin is focusing on platinum for its 2010 design trends. The Geneva-based company has said of the metal: “Extremely rare, it can be used to protect only watch movements of the most elaborate complexity. Vacheron Constantin thus gives full honour to this most precious of metals by choosing it to encase the very complicated movements of three models introduced in 2010.”
Together, these three new models form a limited-edition collection called ‘Excellence Platine’.
Emphasising the attraction of the “exclusive and sophisticated grey” of platinum, the company has chosen carefully the leather it will use in the straps. The watches will have straps made from dark blue alligator leather, hand-stitched with platinum thread.
