Visit of the Vacheron Constantin Lounge at the FIAC.

We all know the strong involvement of Vacheron Constantin in Arts and
the skills of the Manufacture when it comes to combining horological
contents with artistic techniques. This year, for the very first time,
Vacheron Constantin is partner of the FIAC (Foire International de l'Art
Contemporain). We may have the feeling that Vacheron Constantin is a
very classic brand far from the daring pieces of Contemporary Art. But
at the end, this partnership is logical because the Vacheron Constantin
history is full of examples in which contemporary artists or trends
influenced the creation of the timepieces.
Moreover, Vacheron
Constantin takes the opportunity of this partnership to present in the
prestigious scenery of the Grand Palais the exhibition "Arts &
Crafts & Design. Time according to Alessandro Mendini and his
artisans" whose aim is to show the interaction between Arts and Crafts,
and to give the proof that how a close work between a designer and
craftsman can lead to creative designs. Some of you may know this
exhibition since it was already displayed at the Ecole d'Art et de
Design of Lausanne and at the SIHH.
I propose you to discover the
13 pieces of the exhibition, from zero to twelve, each of them
highlighting a specific craft and different materials.
