Traditionnelle Openface

A CONTEMPORARY TRIBUTE TO THE HISTORY OF THE MAISON

To celebrate 270 years of uninterrupted creativity, Vacheron Constantin is unveiling three Traditionnelle Anniversary individually numbered limited editions. These new watches showcase two historical signatures: openworked dials and retrograde displays, that embody the Maison’s everlasting quest for stylistic innovation and technical prowess.

Mechanical sophistication

Vacheron Consantin skeleton watch with a perpetual calendar and retrogade date.

OPENWORKED DIALS

The Maison has taken the openwork approach to new levels in these limited editions. Unlike skeletonisation, focused on minimising  total material, an openworked dial reveals the movement’s complexity and inner beauty while maintaining a strong dial structure, preserving its architecture. The Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Retrograde Date Openface reveals the beauty of its new self-winding manufacture movement, the Calibre 2460 QPR31/270, thanks to an openworked dial.

Luxury watch with an exposed tourbillon, open-worked dial, and a blue leather strap.

Retrograde display

According to the Maison’s archives, the retrograde date was first introduced on a Vacheron Constantin wristwatch in 1940 and has been a signature of the Maison ever since. The retrograde display employs a date hand which runs in an arc before snapping back to its starting point and resuming its stately procession. The feature combines exemplary legibility to considerable technical prowess.

Creativity in every aspect

Fully exposed calibres showcase Vacheron Constantin watchmakers’ attention to detail. Each component is meticulously finished, chamfered, polished or rounded off by hand.
