The ‘Homage to Epic Warriors’ timepieces from the new Les Cabinotiers series named ‘La Quête’ celebrate four great heroes of history and mythology, while showcasing the savoir-faire of the Maison’s master artisans.
On each of the 18K 2N yellow gold dials, the hero of the piece is miniature painted in grand feu enamel against a background reflecting the events of their time. To create this, the master enameller applies a suspension of crushed enamel pigment with ultra-fine brushes, sometimes only a single hair thick, to create a subtle texture of matt and shiny surfaces that play with the effects of light.
The dials are complemented by hand-engraved 41mm cases using the taille-douce line engraving technique. As such, the cases are decorated with thousands of fine incisions in the metal, each only 1/10 to 2/10 of a millimetre thick, creating visually rich patterns.
