Vacheron Constantin, the world’s oldest continuously operating watch manufacturer, brought its unparalleled legacy to Qatar through the event “From Geometry to Artistry”, held at the iconic Alfardan Car Museum in Letbelah.

This exclusive gathering offered watch enthusiasts and collectors an immersive journey into the world of high watchmaking, blending artistry, precision, and heritage.

The Alfardan Car Museum, known for its stunning collection of vintage and classic cars, provided a fitting backdrop for the event. The synergy between the museum's timeless automobiles and Vacheron Constantin’s elegant timepieces was a celebration of craftsmanship that bridges the past and present. Both the cars and the watches represent a seamless blend of tradition and modernity, making the venue an inspired choice.

Guests had the unique opportunity to explore Vacheron Constantin’s extensive collections, including Patrimony, Égérie, Overseas, Traditionnelle, Historiques, Fiftysix, Heures Créatives, and Malte. Among these were rare and limited-edition models crafted from diverse materials and featuring intricate complications.

These collections, designed for both men and women, embody the essence of timeless design and mechanical innovation. One of the event highlights was the demonstration of the tourbillon, a captivating watchmaking complication designed to enhance accuracy. Seeing the intricate mechanism in motion offered attendees a glimpse into the ingenuity that defines Vacheron Constantin's legacy.

“From Geometry to Artistry” went beyond mere exhibition by engaging participants in an interactive enameling workshop. This is one of the métiers d’art that the Maison specialises in, along with gemsetting, engraving and guillochage, offering them a unique experience in the meticulous artistry behind watch design. Guests tried their hand at crafting their own timepiece designs, gaining an appreciation for the skill and creativity required in haute horology.
