The watchmaker explores the passage of time through the creative lens of artist duo Rob and Nick Carter in a new exhibit
Vacheron Constantin has unveiled a new immersive presentation at its luxe lounge, Club 1755. Titled Mastering Time and Light, the Carters explore the spirit of the maison with cutting-edge artworks created by pioneering tools and technology.
Opening last summer in the heart of London’s Mayfair, Club 1755 was created as a space for collectors and like-minded individuals to come together and immerse themselves in everything Vacheron Constantin. The new presentation joins a growing portfolio of previews, exhibits and events held at the Bond Street penthouse.
Visitors can explore several different works, each one meticulously merging the creative philosophies of both parties. One standout is the Diamond Photogram series, using light-sensitive techniques to create a 12-part work depicting constellations made with over 100 diamonds. This interplay of light, time and material echoes the very essence of watchmaking.
Other notable mentions include: a 32-minute film capturing a vase of tulips as they wilt across a period of six days, and a sculptural reinterpretation of a 1643 watercolour by Dutch Golden Age artist Judith Leyster.
The presentation is on view at the private space until the end of September.
