Description
Picking up the symbolic themes and the gold colours of the "Quatre Saisons Carrosse", Vincent Brard offers a variation displaying an openness to women. This represents the first step in the direction of future collections gravitating towards watchmaking "haute couture" creations essentially intended for a feminine clientele.In designing his Fuseau de lInfini , Vincent Brard wished to retain the distinctive arched bulge of his Quatre Saisons Carrosse model, which had been inspired by contemplating the columns of Strasburg Cathedral.LUVORENE Quatre Saisons Autumn therefore features a round, domed case with the famous bulge from the Quatre Saisons model shifted to 3 oclock, openworked on the dial side to reveal the oscillations of a balance with screws and a Breguet overcoil balance-spring, covered with a seasonal Maple leaf in gold, from which the escapement and the lever-wheel have mysteriously disappeared. Deep red Rubis in marquise and round cuts are hand-set on the handcrafted solid red gold dial.Due to its characteristic construction, inherent to the very shape of the watch, the mechanical hand-wound movement manufactured in-house Caliber VB441QS features a winding crown at 9 oclock instead of 3 oclock. The solid gold cover of the case back comprises two transparent sapphire crystals revealing an additional seconds hand serving as a movement running indicator, along with the 10-day power-reserve hand.The six bridges arranged to form a stair-case are sunray-brushed guilloche-worked, smoothed down to a matt seasonal colour finish and bevelled by hand. These "steps" all rest on a black mainplate serving as a magnificently contrasting backdrop for all the movement components – all customised by the manufacture Vincent Brard.
