Introduced by the Republic and Canton of Geneva in 1886 as the ultimate standard in excellence and an emblem of Geneva’s fine watchmaking expertise, the Poinçon de Genève or Hallmark of Geneva, is synonymous with provenance, quality craftsmanship and reliability.
In a spirit very close to the original, this iconic watch reinterprets a model launched in 1921 specifically designed for the American market during the Roaring Twenties. Its crown, boldly placed between 1 and 2 o’clock, and its diagonal reading of the time without needing to turn the wrist give it an exquisite, creative character. The dial features a railway dial-train and black-painted Arabic numerals, as well as a small seconds between 3 and 4 o’clock. Its manual-winding movement offers a power reserve of nearly 3 days.
Focus
The revival of iconic pieces
Paying tribute to fine watchmaking’s finest moments and revisiting the creative archetypes that have punctuated the Manufacture’s history since 1755, such are the designs of this extraordinary collection. For more than thirty years, Historiques timepieces have revived the icons of Vacheron Constantin’s technical and aesthetic heritage.
Knowing the time while keeping your hands on the wheel or while captivating an audience with an impassioned speech is the most remarkable feature of this diagonal watch. This highly original display – made possible via a counter-clockwise 45-degree rotation of the movement – was created by Vacheron Constantin in the 1920s for a automobile-loving American customer. Extravagance and exacting standards become one.
An integral part of the Maison's signature, the creative work associated with lugs in the Historiques collection cannot be ignored. How a simple detail is enhanced and brought to the forefront. Cow's horns, water droplets, crab pincers or claws... four interpretations of the same function, offering each timepiece an assertive personality.
