In celebration of its 270th anniversary, Vacheron Constantin has revealed two limited editions of its Traditionnelle Moon Phase and Traditionnelle Manual-Winding timepieces.
A celebration of the Swiss brand’s goldsmithing legacy, the watches speak of timeless haute horlogerie but with a sharp contemporary twist for the modern woman.
The Traditionnelle Moon Phase is beautiful in both its aesthetic elegance and its astronomical accuracy. With a pink gold case set in 80 brilliant-cut diamonds measuring 36mm, the watch also contains a mother-of-pearl face that glows and bears the Maltese Cross along with an astronomical moon phase display.
Its centrepiece, the manufacture Calibre 1410 AS/270, is an ultra-precise moon-phase mechanism that only requires adjustment once every 122 years. Adding in quiet seconds at 6 o’clock, along with 38 hours of power reserve, rounds out the functions. The finishing on the movement, ‘côte unique’ which was rediscovered in 2021, is on the sapphire caseback.
The feminine 33mm diamond-set pink gold case of the Traditionnelle Manual-Winding houses Vacheron Constantin’s Calibre 1440/270, which was developed and crafted in-house. Limited to just 270 pieces, the watch boasts a 42-hour power reserve and a remarkably slim and elegant profile at just 2.6 mm thick.
Adorned with the ‘côte unique’ finish, the calibre is paired with a beautiful mother-of-pearl dial featuring a delicate Maltese cross-inspired motif created especially for the 270th anniversary. The dial and the alligator strap have a soft pink hue, which speaks to women.
