In Roman mythology, Egeria was the name of an inspirational nymph whose inventiveness inspired artists and designers. At
Vacheron Constantin, it is now the name of its new ladies' collection, whose allure flows from the confluence of Haute Manufacture skills.

Haute Horlogerie instils the technical sophistication so dear to
Vacheron Constantin and the legacy of the asymmetrical displays that
have marked its history, while Haute Couture endows
Égérie with style,
magnificently refined shapes, attention to detail and delicate textures.
This dual inspiration embodied by the first models in the collection –
Égérie self-winding,
Égérie moon phase,
Égérie moon phase diamond-pavé –
is further enriched by the Maison’s jewellery mastery.

Égérie moon phase jewellery is first and foremost an exceptional aesthetic appeal, a refined silhouette with an impeccable fit on the wrist. Its case, a
37mm-diameter circle sculpted in white gold, is rimmed with
246 brilliant-cut diamonds. The five rows of its supple, flowing bracelet are studded with
588 brilliant-cut diamonds. The dial unfurls like a light-filled stage carpeted with
510 brilliant-cut diamonds.

Like an Haute Couture gown,
Égérie moon phase jewellery conceals a world of details. Specially designed for the collection, the calligraphic numerals display the delicacy of lace; the moon phase is encircled by diamonds; and the leaf-type hour and minute hands are reminiscent of those used by the nimble fingers of Haute Couture ateliers.

Égérie moon phase jewellery is also a tribute to
Vacheron Constantin’s watchmaking heritage, embodying the creative freedom of the Manufacture, its style and its expertise. In reference to the asymmetrical displays present since the
19th century, notably in the form of interlaced subdials, the off-centre moon-phase indication is highlighted in a subtle diagonal line formed by the
Vacheron Constantin logo and crown topped with a rose-cut diamond.

Behind the scenes, time is regulated by the Manufacture-made
1088 L self-winding moon phase calibre whose refined finishing is revealed through the sapphire crystal caseback: sweeping over its hand-crafted
Côtes de Genève finishes is a
22-carat gold oscillating weight, elegantly openworked and inspired by the shape of the Maltese cross. An unmistakably Haute Horlogerie signature for this
Égérie moon phase jewellery timepiece available
exclusively from
Vacheron Constantin boutiques.
Summary
Vacheron Constantin's new ladies’ collection is enriched by a jewellery model entirely bedecked in diamonds. Drawing its dual inspiration from the confluence of Haute Manufacture skills,
Égérie moon phase jewellery embodies the refinement of Haute Couture and the technical sophistication of Haute Horlogerie.

This interpretation is highlighted by a
37mm white gold case, a dial and a bracelet studded with
1,344 brilliant-cut diamonds, along with a rose-cut diamond adorning the offset crown aligned with the moon-phase display.
