The ecstasy of horology never ceases to amaze, and the latest release of exciting new editions is a testament to this fact. These include distinctive Year of the Horse watches, a stunning MeisterSinger, and a miniaturized rendering of the classic Bulova.
Vacheron Constantin Métiers d’Art The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac - Year of the Horse pulls out all the stops in celebrating the Chinese New Year. This limited-edition timepiece sports a magnificent hand-engraved enameled gold horse atop a rock, set against a grand feu enamel dial. The design is pure artistry - a delightful option for the hippophile who appreciates fine wrist art. The 40mm watch comes in either 18k pink gold or platinum, while the automatic 2460 G4 propels its functions, ensuring an uncluttered dial.
Horology was not always ruled by the Swiss. Once upon a time, America held an influential position in this realm during the mid-19th to the early 20th century. Although that era has passed, there are glimmers of revival in the high-end sector, courtesy of brands such as RGM Watch Company, J.N. Shapiro, and Keaton P. Myrick.
Today, Swiss watchmaking holds unmatched prestige, casting a looming shadow over its counterparts. Although there are numerous horological sources, Switzerland along with four other nations have distinctly marked their territories in the watchmaking world, continuing to create and innovate.
