Inheriting the classic century-old skills:
In order to engrave the eternal mark of the anniversary in the series, the 260th anniversary totem design is inspired by the vine-like decoration process of the first pocket watch balance plate with Jean-Marc Vacheron signature in 1755. This process is called the ‘Fleurisanne embossing process’ and is applied to the balance plate, series tourbillon bridge or pendulum of the series of anniversary models.
