New Releases by Vacheron Constantin to celebrate festive season – Winter
Overseas Chronograph, Traditionnelle Moon Phase & Power Reserve Small Model and Patrimony Moon Phase & Retrograde Date.
This winter, Vacheron Constantin boutiques and displays appear clothed in an immaculate white winter mantle. A delightful immersion into a stunning natural setting enhanced by dreamy snow, a chance to sense the serenity, gentleness and authenticity pervading this universe while roaming freely among whirling, glimmering snowflakes… This enchanting atmosphere reveals three exceptional models destined to leave their magical imprint on the festive season. Cool winter light suffuses the dial of the Overseas watch, ignites the sparkle of the Traditionnelle watch dedicated to women and illuminates the gold moon set against the constellations adorning the Patrimony timepiece.
Overseas chronograph – Caliber 5200
On this ideal watch for setting off to explore vast expanses of untouched snow, the 42.50 mm- diameter steel case frames a silver-toned dial evoking winter colours. An interchangeable wristband system serves to switch from steel bracelet to alligator or rubber strap in the twinkling of an eye. An in-house Vacheron Constantin with a 22K oscillating weight shaped like a wind rose may be admired through the sapphire crystal caseback of this handsome model, distinguished by an extremely pure aesthetic that is bound to make a lasting impression.
Traditionnelle Moon Phase and Power Reserve small model – Caliber 1410 AS
An 18K white gold case surrounding a mother-of-pearl dial that lights up with the fire of 81 diamonds, generous curves and an aesthetic imbued with authenticity combine to make this model a perfect embodiment of stunningly beautiful snow-covered scenery.
The Traditionnelle Moon Phase and Power Reserve is a subtle interpretation of a horological complication interpreted in feminine mode. Its 36 mm-diameter case is set with 81 diamonds on its bezel, lugs and crown, while its aura of distinguished refinement displays all the identity codes of the Traditionnelle collection. Beating to the tune of a mechanical manual-winding movement (Caliber 1410 AS), this dainty model features one of the most romantic Fine Watchmaking complications: the moon phase. Equipped with a high-precision gear train, the sophisticated mechanism of this function requires just one correction every 122 years.
Patrimony Moon Phase & Retrograde Date – Caliber 2460 R31L
This timepiece shares the pure lines, timeless elegance and authenticity that are the very essence of winter’s charm. Above and beyond leaving a beautiful trace, becoming the owner of a Patrimony Moon Phase & Retrograde Date is an invitation to look up to the heavens. This 18K 5N pink gold watch, powered by an in-house calibre, is graced with a dial depicting the cycle and age of the moon against a star-studded background, for which no correction is required for 122 years. Vacheron Constantin associates this elegant combination with a retrograde date display stretching across the upper rim of the dial.
