Vacheron Constantin, the luxury Swiss watchmaking maison with nearly 270 years of expertise and continuous history, has unveiled its new timepieces at Watches & Wonders 2023 in Geneva.
The new timepieces include:
Overseas Self-Winding: The Overseas collection has been designed to reflect a spirit in which elegance is adorned with robustness, attention to detail underscores essentials and aesthetics adapt to every circumstance.
True to these principles, the brand is introducing four new models in pink gold and steel, featuring a 35 mm diameter of the gemset versions and 34.5 mm for the non-set models. The new diameters prompted the in-house designers to rethink the silhouette of the models, which are now slimmer and more ergonomic, giving them a slender appearance.
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
Overseas Moon Phase Retrograde Date: For the first time, 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.
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 watch.
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.
