Vacheron Constantin impressed at Watches & Wonders 24 with a diverse collection of new releases that celebrate their watchmaking expertise and embrace fresh design elements.
Green Takes Centre Stage in the Overseas Collection
The iconic Overseas collection ventures into new territory with its captivating sunburst green dials. This vibrant shade beautifully complements the rose gold cases and enhances the watches' functionality with exceptional readability. For those seeking horological complexity, two models stand out: a stunning chronograph and a dual-time complication with a day/night indicator.
Égérie – The Pleats of Time: A Symphony of Art Forms
Vacheron Constantin pushes boundaries with the Égérie – The Pleats of Time, a one-of-a-kind concept watch that merges Haute Couture, Haute Horlogerie, and Haute Parfumerie. This artistic collaboration with designer Yiqing Yin features a delicate lilac mother-of-pearl dial adorned with a pleated motif. The absence of hour markers underscores the poetic beauty of the pink-gold moon and diamond-set bezel. The most innovative aspect lies in the strap – embroidered with mother-of-pearl fragments and infused with a unique fragrance that subtly diffuses with movement.
Timeless Elegance Redefined in the Patrimony Collection
The Patrimony collection, renowned for its classic character, unveils a white-gold moon phase retrograde date timepiece that captures the essence of 1950s modernism. This meticulously designed watch seamlessly integrates a moon phase and retrograde date complication while maintaining a balanced and clean aesthetic. A touch of contemporary flair comes in the form of a new sunburst, old-silver-toned dial that subtly contrasts with the rose gold hands and hour markers. A vibrant olive-green strap further complements the timeless elegance of this collection.
Excellence in Platinum: Traditionnelle Tourbillon Chronograph
The Traditionnelle tourbillon chronograph exemplifies both heritage and innovation. The prestigious Calibre 3200, crafted for the Maison's 260th anniversary, drives this exceptional timepiece, boasting a tourbillon and monopusher chronograph complication. This 50-piece limited edition is crafted entirely in platinum, from the case and crown to the dial, buckle, and even the strap stitching. A discreet "Pt950" inscription adds a touch of exclusivity.
New Horizons of Titanium: Overseas Tourbillon
The adventurous spirit of Vacheron Constantin is reflected in the new Overseas tourbillon. Crafted from lightweight and highly durable titanium, this timepiece offers a perfect blend of functionality and style. The rigidity of titanium presented unique challenges in finishing, demanding meticulous attention to detail. The emblematic blue dial showcases the mesmerizing tourbillon regulator, adding a touch of majestic lightness to this remarkable watch.
Introducing the Berkeley Complication: A Record-Breaking Marvel
Vacheron Constantin unveils the Berkeley Complication, a masterpiece of horological engineering boasting an unprecedented 63 complications. This record-breaking watch is powered by the double-sided Calibre 3752, featuring a world-first Chinese perpetual calendar alongside a comprehensive suite of complications, including a split-second chronograph, a highly accurate moon phase display, a perpetual calendar, and a sky chart, among many others.
Vacheron Constantin's new releases at Watches & Wonders 24 are a testament to their dedication to pushing the boundaries of watchmaking artistry. From bold new colours to groundbreaking innovations, the collection offers something for every watch enthusiast.
