Vacheron Constantin Celebrates With the Friends of the Paris Opera and Ballet
On Saturday, November 20, Paris¡¯ Palais Garnier played host to Vacheron Constantin as well as hundreds of the Manufacture¡¯s guests for the much-anticipated 30th anniversary celebration of the AROP (Friends of the Paris Opera and Ballet). Presiding over the occasion were Jean-Louis Beffa, President of the AROP, Nicolas Joel, Director of the National Opera of Paris, and Brigitte Lef¨¨vre, Director of Dance. Vacheron Constantin was represented by CEO Juan-Carlos Torres, Marc Guten, the International Director, and Jean-Yves di Martino, the Director of France for the manufacture. Guests had the opportunity to admire the Vacheron Constantin watch “M¨¦tiers d¡¯Art ¨C Chagall et l¡¯Op¨¦ra Garnier” manufactured specifically for this event to celebrate the anniversary.

The founder and designer Emmanuel Dietrich is back for 2014 with a watch that he claims now "perfectly matches his exceptions." It is good to know that the designer himself is pleased with the end result. See the "1969" on the dial. I am not sure what that means right now but I can say that the offic

I think I can achieve better on this macro engraving.The hand engraved balance cock.Silver plate and gold engraved lettering.Shaky hand here, was too mesmerized by the balance spring rotatingCan anyone offer a translation? Danke!Little bit of noise here as well.Sent from my iPhone4
