From groundbreaking pocket watch innovation over a century ago to modern wristwatches that embody Geneva watchmaking’s illustrious past, Vacheron Constantin pays homage to manual timepieces, with original pocket watch technology applied to today’s wristwatch. Blending a minute-repeater and split-seconds monopusher with a tourbillon-regulated timepiece, the Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Minute Repeater Tourbillon Split-Seconds Monopusher Chronograph pushes the bounds of what was once thought possible with handcrafted watchmaking.
The Les Cabinotiers Minute Repeater Tourbillon Split-Seconds Monopusher Chronograph will be available in a single-edition release because of its complexity and significant technological achievement. This hand-wound timepiece is exact and features a musical component, sounding at the hour, quarter, or minute on demand. The independent deadbeat second mechanism allows the watch to freeze the second’s hand without altering the overall time. The watch features a 45 mm face, surrounded by a pink gold case and a black alligator leather strap. As a tribute to Jean-Marc Vacheron, the initials J.M.C. are engraved on the strike governor, and the bridge features the Vacheron Constantin Maltese cross design.
The limited-edition timepiece is finished with an aesthetically pleasing but fully legible face and is highlighted by an off-center display and slide-piece minute repeater on the left portion of the watch. The great attention to detail with quality materials makes this Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Minute Repeater Tourbillon Split-Seconds Monopusher Chronograph watch a one-of-a-kind masterpiece in watch manufacturing.
