FLORILÈGE OF ARTISTIC SENSITIVITY The guilloché engravings on the dial dedicated to the China Limodoron orchid of the Métiers d’Art Florilège collection. With true artistic sensitivity, the master guillocheur skilfully creates, on the gold dial, the symmetrical pattern of lines just one tenth of a millimetre apart. Opposite page, a plate from Robert John Thornton’s book which inspired Vacheron Constantin.
