Literally. Um, not sure what they were thinking here...
According to the VC blog website, "The dials are treated in grisaille enamel. After applying a black enamel base, the enameller adds touches of Limoges white enamel that is then drawn out using needles, extremely fine brushes and even cactus thorns so as to create graded shades and play on the various pigments." OK, but, really??? Maybe for J.R. Ewing...
