First, it served as a preview for The Armory Show, an annual international contemporary and modern art fair that opened Thursday and runs till Sunday, in which Vacheron Constantin is a sponsor. Prior to dinner, Paul Morris, the founding director of the show, gave guests a preview of the art that will be on display and a presented a brief history of its modest beginnings at the former Gramercy Hotel to its move to the 69th Street Regiment Armory and finally to its current home at Piers 92 and 94.
The second reason was to unveil the newest Vacheron Constantin timepiece collections to its loyal U.S. customers as well as art buyers—in particular, considering the brand’s sponsorship of an art event, the Metiers D’Art Les Univers Infins collection. It features three artistic dials based on the work of famed Dutch graphic artist, M.C. Escher and his use of tessellation—which uses a two-dimensional plane with a repeating geometric shape with no overlaps and no gaps. The Dove Watch, Fish Watch and Shell Watch employ several techniques including cloisonné enameling, gran feu champlevé gemsetting, engraving and guilloché work to create the repeating images.
Also making its premier U.S. appearance was the Patrimony Traditionnelle 14-Day Tourbillon, featuring the longest power reserve of any tourbillon in creation today, according to Vacheron Constantin, and is also the first Vacheron Constantin watch to be approved based on the new 2011 Hallmark of Geneva criteria.
In addition, there was the newly redesigned Malte collection, introduced in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the tonneau-shaped watch.
The timepieces, which were first unveiled two months earlier in Switzerland, were set up in displays throughout the dining room. Later they were presented on trays for the guests to view.
