Unique pieces that have re-defined excellence within Haute Horlogerie
Since 1755, Vacheron Constantin has created a variety of exceptional timepices that have left a lasting impression on Haute Horlogerie, and have enriched the Maison's legacy. Whether celebrated for their intricate mechanics or admired as works of art, each watch carries a distinctive technical and aesthetic hallmark building and brings the Maison's motto to life: "do better if possible, and that is always possible."
A mécanique d’art beyond time
Seven years in the making, La Quête du Temps unites 6,293 components, 23 complications and the world’s first automaton conceived as a timekeeping complication. Sculpted, engraved, set with diamonds and crowned by a hand-painted celestial dome, this monumental clock is over a metre tall. Bringing together the mastery of almost every discipline associated with watchmaking since Antiquity, it transforms the measurement of time into a choreography of mechanical wonder.
Solaria Ultra Grand Complication
La Première
This watch occupies a special place in horology, notably for its five innovative astronomical complications, four of which relate to the course of the Sun across the sky. Thanks to an innovative mechanism, the display shows the position of the Sun in real time, its height, time of culmination and angle of declination - astronomical feats for a mechanical wristwatch.
Grand Complication Openface
Equipped with the Calibre 2755 QP, the new Overseas Grand Complication Openface achieves a horological feat: a movement incorporating a minute repeater, a perpetual calendar, a tourbillon
and a power reserve indicator, just 7.9 mm thick and housed
in an elegant sports watch.
The Berkley Grand Complication
Vacheron Constantin presents the world's most complicated watch. Comprising 63 horological complications and 2,877 components, it surpasses the prior record, also held by the Maison.
Grand Lady Kalla
The Grand Lady Kalla reflects the Maison’s long and rich history of jewellery and pendant watches, where the Manufacture has cultivated creativity imbued with fine craftsmanship in the realm of Haute Joaillerie. Based on the design of the iconic Kalla introduced in 1980 – itself heir to the Kallista unveiled in 1979, the 2024 Grand Lady Kalla honours the name that inspired it: the Greek word kallista meaning "the most beautiful".
Égérie, a dreamlike collaboration
This exceptional single-piece orchestrates a dialogue between three worlds, stemming from an exceptional artistic collaboration between Vacheron Constantin's spirit of innovation and Couture designer Yiqing Yin's ethereal universe.
American 1921
To mark the 100th anniversary of the American 1921 watch, Vacheron Constantin has delved into its archives and its horological expertise to offer a faithful reproduction of the timepiece emblematic of an era.
Twin-Beat
The Traditionnelle Twin Beat perpetual calendar combines modern functionality with technical innovation, displaying hours, minutes, date, month, leap year, and power reserve. Its patent-pending system enables seamless switching between high-frequency Active mode (5Hz) and low-frequency Standby mode (1.2Hz), both powered by a single mainspring for optimal efficiency. When unworn, it offers an extended power reserve of at least 65 days.
