The Vacheron Constantin Mercator is a very unique limited edition watch that was created in 1994 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the death of the great 16th-century Flemish cartographer Gerardus Mercator. This model is not just a watch, But a work of art that combines maps, Art, And advanced watchmaking technology.
The most distinctive feature of the Mercator is the delicate enamel map that fills the entire dial and the two retrograde (jumping) hands. The dial features elaborate depictions of various continents, Including Europe, Asia, And Africa, Inspired by Mercator’s old maps. The maps are handcrafted by world-renowned enamel artisans, Jean and Lucie Zenbrugge. The enamel work is completed through dozens of high-temperature firing processes on a 22K gold plate, And it boasts a high level of artistic and technical perfection, As it takes about 12 days just to make one dial.
The Mercator is a high-end model that combines Vacheron Constantin's artistic challenge, The extreme craftsmanship of the enamel dial, And an original way of displaying time, Making it highly collectible.
