The showcase features three experience areas, as well as watches from the 19th century to today.

Vacheron Constantin commemorates the reopening of its Marina Bay Sands boutique by presenting The Anatomy ofBeauty at level 4 of the ArtScience Museum from now until Nov 2.

It is Vacheron Constantins expertise in the decorative arts and its horologicalknowledge that has placed it in a league of its own. Since its founding in 1755, the manufacture has distinguished itself with timepieces whose beauty is expressed through aesthetics that are matched by unparalleled technical arrangement. The exhibition retraces these two inseparable links that have consistently characterised Vacheron Constantins approach to watchmaking.

The alliance betweendecorative arts and watchmaking techniques is illustrated through an exclusive curation of timepieces from the 19th century to today. The creations are also a demonstration of Vacheron Constantins relentless quest for absoluteperfection in every detail.

The exhibitions Experience AreasThe Anatomy of Beauty offers three sections. Called Experience Areas, the first, Our Heritage: A Legacy as Precious as Time, takes visitors on a journey into the watchmaking universe, immersing them into the manufactures exceptional history.

Artistic crafts including guilloch, enamelling, miniature painting, gem-setting and more, as well as the mostaccomplished technical mastery in the field of mechanical watchmaking constitute the very essence of Vacheron Constantin. The second section, The Anatomy of Beauty, shows how attention to detail is second nature at Vacheron Constantin and features the traditional hand-crafts and decorative techniques employed by master craftsmen to achieve the meticulous finishing and details found on each watch.

Finally, Science and Complications is an immersive journey that highlights five of Vacheron Constantins most important horological complications: the tourbillon, split-seconds chronograph, retrograde, perpetual calendar and minute-repeater.

The maison has curated 24 timepieces from its archives that encompass over 200 years of creations and exceptional technical excellence. Here are a few of the stand-out pieces youll find at the Experience Areas:

Pocket watch in finely chased yellow gold with amethysts and guilloch gold dial (1822)An excellent illustration of the Rococo period, this shell style inspired both the Mannerist grottos of Tuscany in the16th century, as well as Vacheron Constantin artisans. To create thisrelief decoration on a solid gold case, the master engraver used the pounced ornament technique, which involves carvingout domes, beads and rosettes that are then smoothed down with a file. A subtle colour-gradient setting withamethysts adds depth to the sea urchin motifs.

Tour de llle (2005)To celebrate the manufactures 250th anniversary, Vacheron Constantin presented this watch with 16 complicationson a double-face display.
