French musician and artistic director Woodkid creates an exploratory musical work inspired by and featuring the mechanical beating of a Vacheron Constantin watch.
A creative collaboration
The collaboration between Vacheron Constantin and French musician and artistic director Woodkid began in 2022 via the "One of not Many Mentorship Program", based on passing on experience and knowledge to new generations.
In collaboration with Abbey Road Studios, the program enabled youthful talents to benefit from the experience of internationally renowned mentors like Woodkid.
Musical interpretations
The collaboration between Woodkid and Vacheron Constantin continued in 2023 and 2025 with exclusive creations of original musical pieces by the artist, which provides a contemporary interpretation – both musically and visually – of the Maison’s annual themes.
On a 12-beat tempo
His 2023 rhythmic, minimalist, percussive composition recorded the mechanical tempo of a Vacheron Constantin watch and explored the Euclidean mathematical forms governing all great musical rhythms. A contemporary track that also resonates with the connections between the world of music and High Watchmaking.
Conquest of spaces: 2025 re-interpretation
In 2025, Woodkid created a contemporary track to commemorate the Maison's 270th anniversary. To mark this special occasion, he also gave a concert at Abbey Road Studio 1.
