Vacheron Constantin Shows Us The Beauty Of Skeleton Movements

Another SIHH watch this one is from Vacheron Constantin
Before I go on I must admit I am very fond of skeleton movements.
But this one is truly eye catching.

                 Vacheron Constantin MÉTIERS D'ART 

This skeleton movement features Roman Numerals in a very extravagant fashion.
It comes with an external ring which can be either Black,Grey, or Blue; Which are made of Grand Feu opaque enameled 
The Movement has been detailed by hand it is a caliber 4400 SQ and is only 2.8 mm thick and 
consist of 127 parts with 21 jewels.
It produces 28,800 Vibrations per hour and has a power reserve of about 65 hours.
The casing is only 7.5 mm thick and has a diameter of 40 mm and is made of 18k white gold
It comes with an alligator Mississippiensis strap with an 18k white gold buckle.
The watch is water resistant up to about 30 meters.
 If viewing the front of the movement wasn't enough for you no worries, it has a see-through sapphire crystal.
The detail that went to this timepiece is exceptional.
It was hand engraved with such detail its hard to imagine how much time and how delicate it must have been.
 All 3 colors of this model are spectacular and very flashy.
This timepiece tells hours and minutes and you can see every part in the movement bring those actions to live.
Vacheron Constantin truly did great work with this skeleton movement and have made into a piece of art that you can wear and admire on your wrist.
