Vacheron Constantin a name synonymous with class, elegance and luxury watches have gone ahead and introduced a new series of "Les Masques" timepieces which will join the brand's Metiers d'Art watch collection. As the name suggest the 4 watches are heavily inspired from the primordial masks from Mexico, Japan, Gabon, and Papua New Guinea. What also sets them apart is the painstaking creation of each mask which demanded approximately 100 hours. Each masks brings its own feel to the watches like the Japan mask emanates gentleness and serenity while the Mexico mask is believed to be a piece of the chimney of an ?incense burner?, this fragment is not so much a ?mask? as an extremely sensitive portrait. The miniature masks appear upon a transparent sapphire crystal, which reveals the underlying watch mechanism; a poem by French writer Michel Butor has been engraved in a pattern which encircles the mask.

With more than 250 years D `uninterrupted activity, Vacheron Constantin can put forward a single inheritance which remains an absolute reference in L `universe of the High Clock industry. Older manufacture in the world without interruption D `activity since 1755, the men and the women of Vacheron Constantin, since always, concentrated on manufacture and the consolidation D `a tradition D `aesthetic excellence as well technical the best witnesses are their chronometers whose completions with the hand are D `an exceptional quality.This intact artisanal approach, Vacheron Constantin cultivates it with the daily news***, putting L accent on the essential role of the gesture of L craftsman, L experiment of the "expert hand", the know-how of L it is a clock and watch maker, designer, engineer, engraver, enameller.

The rheumatology is the medical discipline which deals with in a not-surgical way all the problems of the locomotors system, such as the degenerative attacks or osteoarthritis, the problems of the spinal column (evils of back), the muscular attacks, tendons problems and ligaments, and inflammatory or immunological diseases. They belong to the first causes of chronic disease and D disability. Contrary to a generally accepted idea, the rheumatologic diseases often touch the young subject although their frequency increases with L age. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease which touches the cartilage as a whole then L articulation. L osteoarthritis is extremely frequent at the old subject. However, approximately 1/3 of the 40 year old individuals also suffer D osteoarthritis. The degenerative attacks of the spinal column are also frequent and are associated pains, generally of the lumbar area. Approximately 80% of the subjects will have at least an episode of lumbar pains in their life. These pains can have important consequences on the quality of life and the capacity of work.
