VACHERON CONSTANTIN Bespoke creation
Vacheron Constantin, devoted to crafting eternity since 1755, will celebrate its 260 years of uninterrupted history on 17 September, 2015. To mark this unique event, the Maison will unveil an unprecedented piece dedicated to the measurement of time. Representing an unprecedented technical evolution in the field of haute horlogerie, this watch is a creation born of a dream and a collector’s request, matched by the determination of the Manufacture in rising to this challenge.
Entirely developed and crafted by three in-house watchmakers entirely dedicated to this project for eight years, backed by the Atelier Cabinotiers special orders team, this Grande Complication watch sets the seal on 260 years of expertise nurtured by a perpetual quest for excellence.
Developed both on classic watchmaking principles and on innovative 21st century technologies, this most complicated watch in the world embodies an incredible combination of time measurement complications and functions meeting the demanding Hallmark of Geneva criteria.
It reveals certain original complications that had to be calculated and developed ex nihilo. The other horological complications all benefited from improvements as well as technical or aesthetic modifications leading to the filing of numerous patents. Creating the world’s most complicated watch called not only for constant perseverance, but unprecedented mastery of mathematics and craftsmanship.
