Commissioned with an Arabic-language city ring and a central dial motif drawn from the geometric tradition of Moroccan \u003cem\u003ezellij\u003c\/em\u003e tilework, it represents a dialogue between Geneva’s finest watchmaking and the decorative heritage of the Arab world — executed at the highest level the Manufacture can offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical Context and Rarity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVacheron Constantin has produced special-commission World Time references for specific cultural commissions on a small number of documented occasions. The Traditionnelle World Time calibre 2460 WT, introduced in the mid-2000s, became the platform of choice for these bespoke executions — its architecture allowing for highly customised city rings and dial treatments without compromising the movement’s technical integrity or its Geneva Seal certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard production references carry a Latin-alphabet city disc. Commissions featuring Arabic script are known to exist in only a handful of configurations, each produced at the direct request of a private client or official institution. This example carries an Arabic-language ring placing \u003cstrong\u003eMarrakech (مراكش)\u003c\/strong\u003e at the crown of the city disc, alongside \u003cstrong\u003eMecca (مكة)\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAl Quds (القدس)\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eSharjah (الشارقة)\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eDoha (الدوحة)\u003c\/strong\u003e — a curated geography that speaks directly to the cultural and spiritual map of the Arab world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe central dial motif is executed in the vocabulary of \u003cem\u003ezellij\u003c\/em\u003e — the centuries-old North African art of geometric ceramic tilework, perfected across the great palaces and medersas of Morocco. The radiating star-and-polygon patterns rendered on the dial are consistent with the highest expressions of this craft, translated here into a surface treatment of exceptional precision and visual depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch is powered by Calibre 2460 WT, Vacheron Constantin’s in-house automatic world time movement, bearing the \u003cstrong\u003eGeneva Seal (Poinçon de Genève)\u003c\/strong\u003e. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour with 27 jewels and a power reserve of 40 hours via automatic winding, with a 22-karat yellow gold guilloché rotor. The world time complication displays all 37 time zones simultaneously — including 30- and 45-minute offsets such as India, Iran, and the Marquesas Islands — through independently rotating city and 24-hour discs. Local time zone adjustment is achieved via the push-piece integrated into the crown, advancing the hour hand and city disc forward by one increment while the minute hand runs uninterrupted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase and Dial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 18-karat rose gold case measures 42.5 mm in diameter. The sapphire crystal is fitted front and back, the exhibition caseback revealing the movement and rotor finishing. The dial architecture centres on the \u003cem\u003ezellij\u003c\/em\u003e motif, surrounded by the Arabic city ring and the 24-hour day\/night sector. The watch is fitted to a navy alligator leather strap with an 18-karat rose gold pin buckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition and Documentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch presents in excellent condition.

The combination of a \u003cem\u003ezellij\u003c\/em\u003e-inspired central dial — a hand-crafted decorative element requiring significant additional manufacture time — with a fully Arabic city disc including Mecca produces a piece that has no direct parallel in the secondary market. For the collector whose cultural identity and geographic reference point is the Arab world, this commission is a definitive expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCertification \u0026amp; inspection:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery timepiece we offer are authentic, in hand, inspected by our team of watch specialist and available to view on appointment. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShipping: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe ship internationally using Ferrari Logistics door to door service\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HORAMUNDI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52626828919076,"sku":null,"price":75000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/8222\/1348\/files\/IMG_5863.heic?v=1773941645","url":"https:\/\/horamundi.com\/products\/vacheron-constantin-ref-86060r-marrakech-worldtime-unique-piece","provider":"HORAMUNDI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
