  • Vacheron Constantin - Metiers d'Art «Les Masques»

    Some partnerships, like the one between the Manufacture Vacheron Constantin and the Barbier-Mueller Museum, seem to be written in the stars.
    Both share the same values, philosophy and passions, each guided by a quest for constant renewal. At the time of its presentation in 2007, the project aroused great excitement in the world of Haute Horlogerie. Every year, over a three-year period until 2009, a boxed set of four new masks (each representing one of the four continents of Asia, the Americas, Africa and Oceania) is being produced in a limited series of 25 watches each, for a grand total of 300.
    Amazingly lifelike, the first four masks reproduced on the dials of these collectors' timepieces - from China, Alaska, the Congo and Indonesia - embody an exceptional kind of savoir-faire, combining 21st-century techniques with the rigour of traditional craftsmanship, the only combination that could preserve the authenticity of these masterpieces and portray them so realistically.Although applied in two different worlds, this quest always leads to the same inescapable conclusion:
    Time is an art,
    an art that is sublimated with time.
    2008 models - Second set
    4 masks: from Mexico, Japan, Gabon and Papua New Guinea

    In its ongoing pursuit of truth, Vacheron Constantin has surpassed itself with the second boxed set of timepieces, which again contains reproductions of four primitive masks, but this time from Mexico, Japan, Gabon and Papua New Guinea.
    Pushing its research and creativity to the very limits, the Geneva-based Manufacture has drawn again on the techniques of the past and taken the technology of engraving to a higher plane, enhancing precision and exactitude in the miniature reproduction of tribal art on timepieces that have become works of art in their own right.
    Paying tribute to Man by transcending the limits imposed by time: this is the challenge facing Vacheron Constantin with its Metiers d'Art collection. Such a challenge entails endless questioning and dealing with numerous demands and constraints, but in the end there is a sense of pride in having travelled further towards the impossible. The ultimate reward for any human being. The art of engraving poetry
    To do better, to be even closer to reality. This was the demanding challenge facing Vacheron Constantin after the masks on the first Metiers d'Art "Les Masques" timepieces bore such a remarkable resemblance to the originals from the Barbier-Mueller Museum. But it is when facing the impossible that the greatest projects are realised. After an in-depth study of the situation, the engraving specialists for Vacheron Constantin decided to focus their attention on subtlety. Miniaturising a tribal mask can sometimes over-accentuate the power it emanates, thereby distorting its character and identity. Using their expertise, a blend of craftsmanship and modern technologies, the engravers sought to reproduce the poetic sensibility of the masks, concentrating on the softness of the contrasts and the delicacy of the finishing. The hair of Buddha: each curl is drawn as a tiny spiral in line-engraving Manual skills are therefore central to Vacheron Constantin's undertaking; stressing the harmony of form, the engraving work was given a lighter touch. The complexity of this approach is revealed in the Japan mask, which demanded a level of skill beyond most engraving experts today. First, the mask's volumes were reproduced three-dimensionally, then transferred to the miniature using the most advanced laser techniques. The next step was to delicately enhance the tiniest details through the art of engraving, as can be seen in the hair of Buddha, each curl of which is drawn as a tiny spiral in line-engraving. The softness of the facial features is brought out by flame-gilding, while the signs of aging on the mask - an irreversible effect of time - have been delicately reproduced by hand so as to capture the essence of the original. Each mask in turn required special attention and expertise. The Gabon mask, for example, highlights the art of chasing, with each touch delicately struck to give it a smooth finish. With the Mexico mask, special interest was paid to the surface work: determined to recreate as closely as possible the "pottery" effect - clay being the basic material used in the original mask - the Vacheron Constantin team decided to use matt pumice-stone powders of different granularity. When mixed and smeared on with an ear-swab, they reproduce the rough aspect of pottery more realistically than nature itself! In the same spirit, the painted wood of the Papua-New-Guinea mask has been replicated on red gold that has undergone a very special chemical treatment to accentuate its colour and has then been hand-patinated to bring out the nuances of the painting. Fluted engraving is also much in evidence, with the circumference of the mask meticulously chiselled with a hand-held graver. Each mask required around one hundred hours of work and perseverance, coupled with unwavering patience and total dedication. A colossal responsibility, but indispensable if Vacheron Constantin wanted to achieve its mission of conveying an emotion.
    Metiers d'Art « Les Masques » - 2008 models - Japan Mask From the unimaginable distance where I savour eternity I hear the echo of your cries to console you I send the reverberations of my gongs the hope of re-finding your kin after so many metamorphoses on the paths of my bounty This mask emanates gentleness and serenity with its moonlike face, lowered eyes and full cheeks framed with long curved, stylized ears. The nose and mouth are realistically drawn. The intense blue of the chignon coiffure, comprising a multitude of small embossed curls sculpted in wood, contrasts with the gilded face. On the back of the mask is a piece of felt to protect the wearer's chin.
    The mask appears to represent Amida Nyorai, which means "infinite light" or "infinite life"; he is one of the five great Buddhas of wisdom who guide believers to a second life after death. The profile of this particular figure, dating from the 19th century, brings to mind the face of the famous great Buddha statue in the Kamakura sanctuary in Japan.
    The creation of such a ritual piece was generally entrusted to Buddhist image-makers rather than mask-makers.
    Metiers d'Art « Les Masques » - 2008 models - Mexico Mask My nostrils feel the incense that will rise on the steps restoring life to my old age so I may distribute my benedictions on the town whose pyramids rise above the singing trees in the lands of the wind .
    Believed to be a piece of the chimney of an "incense burner", this fragment is not so much a "mask" as an extremely sensitive portrait. The features of the bearded face, sculpted with considerable attention to proportion and volume, suggest the artist's deliberate attempt at naturalism. This portrait seems to be of a Maya noble with a pearl fixed to the cartilage of his nose. The ornament is characteristic of the old classical period. Metiers d'Art « Les Masques » - 2008 models -Gabon Mask
    I have stored in my heart all the phases of the Moon my mouth has been effaced only my eyes can express themselves in the incense of the nights of waiting to show the Sun and all its lost children the road of their deliverance
    This mask, from the celebrated collection belonging to the poet Tristan Tzara, was exhibited in 1931 by Charles Ratton in Paris, then in 1935 at the prestigious Museum of Modern Art in New York where it was hailed as one of the "revelations" of "negro art". There has always been a disturbing quality about its plastic and pictorial qualities, which in some ways reflect the aesthetic sense of a period in turmoil. Known as pibibuze, "man", it belongs to a group of four different masks, three of which represent animals (a gorilla, an elephant and an antelope). Without horns or appendages, the fourth kind, "man", is rarer. These four different masks would have been ordered at the birth of a boy and embody a spirit of nature that would accompany him during various rites of passage throughout his life. Most often blind, these masks were probably not intended to be worn on the face of a dancer, but rather to be displayed in houses consecrated to the cult or held during ceremonies. The "Tzara mask" has a beautiful aged, regular patina, suggesting ritual functions. This does not imply that it naturally hid the face of the person wearing it.
    Metiers d'Art « Les Masques » - 2008 models - Papua New Guinea Mask   Your astonishment at existing amidst so much fortune is given shape by me questioning the sound of the rain on the leaves to murmur secrets to you that will help you last a few months or a few years to tell your adventures.
    This mask has both the zoomorphic and anthropomorphic characteristics of masks from the mouth of the Sepik river; its very diverse forms all have a long nose evoking a bird's beak or an insect's proboscis. Two protuberances pierced with holes, probably representing the ears, could have been used to secure the mask to the face. This mask is a masculine representation of aggressive ancestor-spirits, one of whose basic functions was to devour young adolescents during their initiations before returning them to their mothers by vomiting them up whole, transformed into young adults. Until the white man arrived, each male was integrated into society through initiation rites at which he learned how to separate himself from the world of women and mothers and forged a very personal relationship with his brag ancestor, a powerful masculine ancestor, through images of the latter.
