In celebration of Among the Pillars, the visionary collaboration between Vacheron Constantin and Emirati designer Omar Al Gurg, ARDH Collective was honoured to  craft bespoke gift boxes presented to VIP clients and distinguished guests of the Maison.

 

Each box is cloaked in a custom DATEFORM cover, embodying the very essence of Among the Pillars, sustainable innovation born from Emirati heritage. The DATEFORM, repurposed from date seeds, resonates deeply with the installation’s materials, to encapsulate a shared philosophy of transforming what is local and natural into objects of enduring luxury.

 

The covers are enhanced with precision-crafted metal inlays bearing the Vacheron Constantin Maltese cross, a symbol of centuries of watchmaking excellence. The cool lustre of metal and the warm, tactile surface of DATEFORM merge to create a dialogue between tradition and modernity, echoing Omar Al Gurg’s minimalist yet richly symbolic style. Made with love in the Emirates, designed with respect for time-honoured materials, each box is a tribute: to sustainability, to identity, and to the meeting point where art, watchmaking and Emirati culture converge.
