First the watch

Now a closeup of the dial. You can see the little gold woman, indicating the hours, and man, indicating the minutes. The slowly approach on the bridge, meeting at noon and midnight

Finally a shot of the enamel being painted onto the reverse of the dial, before being fired.

From this years Salon International de Haute Horology (SIHH) come two of the complications of VC and A. Both the Butterfly and the Lovers are based on a small JLC caliber, adapted by the wizards of Agenhor. Over at The Purists there are photos of a tour of Agenhor, including both ov these pieces under construction.

Ian Skellern provided a fantastic video (posted to Horomundi) demonstrating the complications.

EDITED: I can't figure out how to embed the video without it auto-playing, so you'll have to click over to Horomundi or the hi-res link to see it

• On a more traditional note, VC and A has also announced a collection celebrating the great pre-Versailles French Chateau Vaux-le-Vicomte as part of their French segment of their "Jardins" line.  Including such pieces as a necklace inspired by the fountains

"The Vicomte necklace is made of 370 carats of sapphires shaped in three rows of sapphire balls and pear-shaped sapphire drops that suggest
water flowing from a fountain. Each fountain is composed of diamonds
and a center sapphire that weigh 3.53 carats and 4.87 carats,
respectively."
