By Victoria Townsend “It’s classic with a twist“, smiled Vacheron Constantin Artistic Director Christian Selmoni, in Paris last Thursday for the unveiling of ‘Elégance Sartoriale’ - the watchbrand’s latest collection from the series of Métiers d’Art. Vacheron Constantin knows all about sartorial elegance. The high watchmaker from Geneva has been dressing the pockets and wrists of gentlemen for over 260 years, and even went so far as to launch its own customizable watch collection with the ‘Quai de l’Ile’ in 2008. So when it met up with Vitale Barberis Canonico, the oldest textile manufacturer in the world that has been supplying the finest fabrics to the best of tailors since it was founded in Pratrivero Italy in 1663, a shared project of sartorial elegance was developed, resulting in 5 new watch dials inspired by the noblest of fabrics and motifs.
