Métiers d’Art The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac - Year of the Pig

Worldtempus, February 1, 2019

To celebrate the Chinese New Year, Vacheron Constantin is enriching its arts and crafts collection with two special editions dedicated to the new sign of the zodiac. On February 5, the dog will give way to the pig.

Since 1845, Vacheron Constantin has maintained privileged relations with China, the country at the origin of the art of Jianzhi. This paper cutting technique finds an echo in Swiss folklore and its famous Scherenschnitt. This artistic approach, highlighted by the Métiers d’Art collection The legend of the Chinese zodiac, finds a new interpretation this year thanks to the know-how of master engravers and enamellers. Vacheron Constantin is thus presenting two models, produced in twelve pieces each, to celebrate the Year of the Pig. Honest, generous, epicurean, the sign of the pig will succeed that of the dog on February 5, 2019, during the Chinese New Year.
