Vacheron Constantin Debuts Zodiac Watches in Métiers d'Art
Celestial Craftsmanship Meets Haute Horlogerie
Crafted in 18K white gold, each 39mm case is framed by 96 baguette-cut blue sapphires. The dials showcase constellations through brilliant-cut diamond stars, set on a deep blue base. Every dial is completed in eight detailed stages, starting with sunburst finishing and moving through guilloché engraving, diamond setting, and emblem application.
Using its own figurative guilloché technique, Vacheron Constantin transforms geometric patterns into fluid, celestial imagery. Four signs — Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Aquarius — include opaline accents for greater visual depth. This subtle touch adds character and enhances contrast across the dial.
Calibre 2160 Tourbillon Powers Every Piece
Each watch runs on the ultra-thin Calibre 2160 tourbillon movement, offering an 80-hour power reserve. It operates at 18,000 vibrations per hour, ensuring consistent performance. A 22K gold peripheral rotor reveals the movement's architecture while allowing a full view of the beautifully finished interior.
Notably, hand-bevelled bridges, Côtes de Genève finishing, and the Maltese Cross-shaped tourbillon cage reflect Vacheron Constantin's dedication to excellence. These mechanical details elevate both the technical and aesthetic appeal of the timepieces.
Zodiac Themes Reflect the Brand's Cosmic Legacy
More than a celebration of astrology, the Métiers d'Art Tribute to the Celestial collection is an artistic statement. It connects ancient symbolism with modern horology, reinforcing Vacheron Constantin's legacy of cosmic inspiration.
By combining timekeeping with handcraft, each piece becomes a poetic interpretation of the stars. The collection is available to explore now through the brand's official website.

Your Career Horoscope for July 28, 2025
Today brings steady progress with moments of clarity to plan your next career moves. Find daily astrological predictions for all sun signs for July 28. We recommend reading the horoscopes for your rising sign. Aries Career Horoscope With the Moon not leaving your work sector until tomorrow, this is giving you a jump on the new working week before it even begins. However, having the Moon here as Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos moves into his final 10 days is both adding fuel to his warrior and competitive spirit and giving you a better sense of where to channel this. Even more so when they align tomorrow. Taurus Career Horoscope The lead up to the Moon's return to your work sector tomorrow is an important point in any month for having your antennas up while taking a wait and see approach. While this will be the Moon's ordinary monthly visit, apart from bringing things together on the income, work and career fronts in the heart of the working week, with Mars just 10 days away this will be a chance to start lining up for some exciting times ahead. Gemini Career Horoscope For now, as the Moon crosses the lunar nodes and puts their policing of your work/life balance in the spotlight, this is unlikely to be a challenge. With the new working week set to get off to a fairly slow or business as usual start, but then start to fire up and especially on the income and job fronts in a few days, this is a reminder to first put some guardrails in place. Click here to follow our WhatsApp channel for tarot readings, love, health, career, and Chinese horoscopes delivered to your phone daily! Cancer Career Horoscope When the Moon not only left your income sector yesterday but brought the New Moon here to a close, this not only left you with a sharp nose for money and a sense that the brakes have come off income potential. By the time the Moon left it had formed a friendly aspect to all five planets in your career sector, while the Sun had connected with the two most powerful. This leaves you with a lot to unpack, financially and professionally. Leo Career Horoscope While Venus and Uranus left your career sector earlier in the month, leaving it empty for the first time in six years and the Moon is yet to come full circle from a Full Moon in your work sector, until Mars leaves your income sector, he is keeping things alive on the income, work and career fronts. All three passed the reins to Mars when they left, but as he moves into his final 10 days, as he fights for what you deserve on the income front, he is bringing job and career potential along for the ride. Virgo Career Horoscope While Venus is only in your career sector for another three days, for the planet of money, desire and attraction the best is still to come. It is the Moon's return to your income sector tomorrow that as well as energising things across the income, work and career fronts in the heart of the working week, will give you the sharp nose for money that will make her mission to steer this professional year in a lucrative direction a lot easier. Libra Career Horoscope As the Moon crosses the lunar nodes, it is bringing its monthly reminder when it comes to knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off. As this comes just as you move into the final 10 days of your current Mars cycle, this adds to a call to pace yourself. Especially as in three days, Venus' return to your career sector is going to fire things up on the income, work and career fronts. Scorpio Career Horoscope While the Moon's departure from your career sector yesterday wrapped up a New Moon that in the Sun's early days has given professional potential the green light, Mercury is still in retrograde motion here and will be for another two weeks. With three of the five planets in your work sector already in retrograde motion and the fourth turning retrograde in three days, this has left you with your instincts sharp and a read on the new and old doors open on the job and career fronts. Sagittarius Career Horoscope Just having the Moon in your career sector is a chance to move into the new working week with your professional instincts sharp from the start. However, having the Moon here as Mars moves into his final 10 days takes this to a whole new level. As well as adding fuel to Mars' professional passions, fighting and competitive spirit, this is giving you a better sense of where to channel this in order to get the most out of these remaining days. Capricorn Career Horoscope The lead up to the Moon's return to your career sector tomorrow is an important point in any month for having your antennas up while keeping an open mind. Especially as this won't just be the Moon's last visit before Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos returns in 10 days, but in time to fire things up in the heart of the working week and during Venus' final days in your work sector. Aquarius Career Horoscope On both the job and career fronts, there is a pregnant pause and a sense that you are waiting for something to push the 'go' button. With Venus just three days away from joining Jupiter in your work sector, something that will bring the element of luck and the laws of attraction together and the Moon returning to your career sector a day later, this is a chance to pause before things come alive across the income, work and career fronts. Pisces Career Horoscope Even though the Moon's departure from your work sector yesterday wrapped up a New Moon that has given work and job matters the green light, with Mercury still in retrograde motion here and not turning direct for another two weeks, old doors remain open. Rather than having to choose one over the other, you not only get to explore both new and untapped job potential but in just a few days, the two are set to come together.

Despite these restrictions, China has continued making AI warned that AI could become an "exclusive game" for a few countries and companies, and said challenges included an insufficient supply of AI chips and restrictions on talent exchange.
