Vacheron Constantin Platinum Hollow Table with Three Questions
The hollow table, also known as Lou Tong, may not be a complex function in itself, but as a decorative technique, it’s often considered part of the advanced craftsmanship. The term "skeleton" in English literally means "bones," implying that only the essential mechanical components are left visible—like gears, balance wheels, and escapement mechanisms—all exposed through the open design. This allows you to witness the intricate dance of the watch's inner workings in real-time.
Hollowing out a watch isn't just about drilling holes. It involves carefully removing all non-essential parts of the movement while preserving its functionality. Artisans then add delicate hand-carved patterns onto the skeleton, enhancing both aesthetics and complexity. Through the watch glass, the mechanical artistry becomes a visual spectacle, full of life and precision.

>>> Paper-cut Art
According to historical research, paper-cutting has been around since the Shang Dynasty. People used gold, silver foil, leather, or silk to create intricate designs. These early decorations laid the foundation for the development of paper-cut art. As a form of openwork art, paper-cutting is based on two-dimensional space, where images are created by cutting shapes into paper, resulting in vivid and elegant visuals that reflect daily life.
Shadow Art
Shadow puppets, often made from cowhide or donkey skin, use a technique called "Yin Yang Lou," where the material is carved to reveal the structure and form. This method creates exaggerated, smooth, and natural figures, making them more detailed than paper-cutting. Today, hollow art derived from carving has become a key technique in watchmaking, sharing the same aesthetic value as paper-cutting and shadow art.

To create a hollowed-out watch, watchmakers start with a standard movement. They first drill holes and remove excess metal. Then, using a carving knife, they carefully shape the edges at a 45-degree angle and carve intricate patterns into the movement. Each cut requires both skill and patience, as the placement of each knife stroke depends on the material and the desired outcome. Only the most skilled artisans can achieve flawless hollowing, revealing the hidden beauty within.
