The Métiers d'Art Les Aérostiers collection, launched at SIHH 2018, honors five 18th-century French balloon flights using hand-engraved gold balloons over plique-à-jour enamel. Calibre 2460 G4/1 powers the time and calendar displays for these limited editions of five pieces each. Reference 7610U/000G-B244 commemorates the 1783 Versailles flight that carried a sheep, rooster, and duck. It features a white gold basket and ropes positioned beneath an opulent 5N gold balloon.
