In celebration of its 270th anniversary, Vacheron Constantin has unveiled the Traditionnelle Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar, a limited-edition timepiece that seamlessly integrates two of horology’s most revered complications: the tourbillon and the perpetual calendar. This exceptional watch exemplifies the Maison’s commitment to excellence and innovation in watchmaking.
Caliber 2162 QP/270
At the heart of this masterpiece lies the new Caliber 2162 QP/270, an ultra-thin self-winding movement measuring just 6.55mm in thickness. Building upon the foundation of the esteemed Caliber 2160, this movement integrates a tourbillon regulator and a perpetual calendar, showcasing Vacheron Constantin’s prowess in combining complexity with elegance. The movement offers a 72-hour power reserve and operates at a frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour. Notably, the movement features a peripheral gold oscillating weight, allowing for an unobstructed view of the intricate finishing, including the ‘côte unique’ pattern—a rare technique rediscovered in 2021.
A Tribute to Tradition
To commemorate its 270th anniversary, Vacheron Constantin has produced only 127 pieces of the Traditionnelle Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar. Each timepiece is individually numbered and features a discreet engraving on the movement, highlighting the Maison’s dedication to craftsmanship and exclusivity. The watch is available upon request, underscoring its status as a coveted collector’s item.
The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar is more than just a timepiece; it is a testament to the Maison’s rich heritage and unwavering commitment to the art of watchmaking. With its harmonious blend of technical mastery and timeless design, this limited-edition watch stands as a pinnacle of horological achievement.
