Vacheron Constantin Creates Unique Dove Watch for Only Watch
This piece embodies the famous M��tiers d'Art cultivated within Vacheron Constantin: engraver, enameler, gemsetter and guillocher worked together to create this unique watch, especially developed for Only Watch 2011. Inspired by the technique of repetitive tiling designs known as tessellation, this M��tiers d'Art �C Perspectives d'Art watch invites observers to explore a reality that plays with human perception.This watch combines several of the Manufacture's artistic crafts that vividly express the theme of perspective in order to accentuate the sense of depth, each according to its own technique. The gold, enameled and diamond-set dial adopts concepts such as geometry, symbolism and motion, subtly nesting and layering them in order to generate several levels of meaning and interpretation.This timepiece is inspired by a drawing by Maurits Cornelis Escher �C a Dutch engraver and graphic artist (1898-1972) whose work was based on a subtle play on architecture, perspective and space.

Dra144/ Panerai
Hi AllI have been off the forum for some time and just back on. I noticed that above Seller is banned. David & Alan Gross from bridge street jewellers.

The papers I have are stamped in Lisbon.

Warranty card for SD43
Hey folks- just trying to get some info as to why the one side of my warranty card for my SD43 looks a little bit different than others I've seen for sale. Specifically, I've seen 97220 and black appear below the model number on some of the other SD43s for sale. I'm guessing this has to do with what country or area the watch was purchased from and are indicators for color of the dial and such.
