Vacheron Constantin Platinum Hollow Table – Three Questions

The hollow table, also known as the "Lou Tong" table, may not be a complex function in itself, but it's often considered a form of complication due to its decorative and technical value. The term "skeleton" implies revealing the "bones" of the watch—exposing the internal mechanics like balance wheels, escapement, and gear trains. These parts are visible through the openwork design, creating a mesmerizing view of the watch's inner workings.

Creating a hollow watch isn't just about drilling holes. It involves carefully removing excess material from the movement while maintaining structural integrity. Artisans then hand-carve intricate patterns onto the skeleton, adding both beauty and precision. Through the watch glass, the mechanical artistry becomes a visual spectacle, capturing the essence of traditional watchmaking.

>>> Paper-cut Art

Historically, paper-cutting has been used since the Shang Dynasty, where people used gold, silver foil, leather, or silk to create engraved decorations. These early forms of paper-cut art laid the foundation for modern designs. As a form of openwork art, paper-cutting uses two-dimensional space to create intricate shapes, often using scissors or knives to cut out patterns that bring life and vibrancy to everyday objects.

Shadow Art

Shadow puppets, made from cowhide or donkey skin, use a technique called "Yin Yang Lou," where the design is carved in a way that creates depth and contrast. Unlike paper-cutting, shadow art adds layers and complexity, resulting in a more refined aesthetic. Today, this ancient art has evolved into a key technique in watchmaking, blending tradition with innovation.
