Vacheron Constantin, the luxury Swiss watchmaking Maison with nearly 270 years of expertise and history, unveils elegant new timepieces at Watches & Wonders 2023.
Overseas Self-Winding
Designed to reflect a spirit of elegance adorned with robustness, attention to detail and aesthetics adapted to every circumstance, the Vacheron Constantin is introduces four new models of The Overseas collection in pink gold and steel, featuring a 35 mm diameter of the gemset versions and 34.5 mm for the non-set models. The models have new diameters, which are now slimmer and more ergonomic, giving them a slender appearance. Calibre 1088/1 has been chosen to power these pieces. Equipped with a stop-seconds mechanism enabling precision adjustment, it is fitted with the 22K gold rotor bearing the collection’s emblematic compass rose, which ensures winding with a 40-hour power reserve.
Overseas Moon Phase Retrograde Date
For the first time ever, the Overseas line incorporates a retrograde display, a function that is part of Vacheron Constantin’s living heritage and continually reinvents itself. The new model keeps the collection iconic attributes immediately recognisable: six-sided bezel evoking the Maltese cross, fluted crown, polished and satin-brushed finishes, translucent lacquered dial, luminescent hour-markers and hands, by combining them with a retrograde date and a precision moon-phase. Equipped with in-house 5.4mm- thick Calibre 2460 R31L/2, this timepiece reflects the grand watchmaking traditions in the inherently modern and contemporary spirit of the Overseas collection.
Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date
Since its founding in 1755, the Manufacture has cultivated the refinement of its watches as an art form, corresponding to one of the Bauhaus principles holding that “less is more”. This is reflected in the new Patrimony retrograde day-date in 950 platinum with a salmon-toned dial which perpetuates a refined style and elegance and technicality.
Traditionnelle Tourbillon Retrograde Date Openface
The expression of an avant-garde aesthetic, the demand for mechanical sophistication and the desire to share creative expertise are at the heart of this Traditionnelle Tourbillon Retrograde Date Openface timepiece. The opening onto the architecture of the 2162 R31 movement – with its slate grey shade achieved by an NAC surface treatment – perfectly visible on both sides of the watch, highlights its mechanical power. The retrograde date display, complemented by a tourbillon, gains depth in a functional and contemporary style.
