Perpetual Calendar
The perpetual calendar presents a mechanical solution for an astronomical problem. Gears, springs and rockers mimic the rotation of the earth around the sun. The mechanism automatically knows whether the month has 28, 30 or 31 days, as well as calculating leap years. The perpetual calendar only needs correcting at the turn of each century, unless the century is divisible by four hundred.
True to watchmaking tradition, the column-wheel chronograph is fitted with a screw inspired by the Maison's iconic Maltese cross. This symbol of precision first appeared in the Vacheron Constantin logo in 1880. Derived from an old mechanical movement component, it allowed the most consistent part of the spring to be used while regulating the degree of winding and unwinding, giving the watch better precision.
PERSONALISE YOUR WATCH WITH A STRAP
Whether it’s the color of the leather, the color of the stitching or the color of the side edges, the possibilities are almost endless to make your watch strap entirely unique. You can also add a design or text to the lining of your watch to make it even more special. The strap bar: a tailored appointment for you to discover in the Vacheron Constantin Boutiques.
HOMMAGE TO GENEVA’S HIGHEST WATCHMAKING TRADITION
The Traditionnelle collection is the supreme expression of the most demanding Geneva Haute Horlogerie traditions inherited from the 18th century. Imbued with history and a sense of rigorous discipline, Traditionnelle timepieces showcase technical refinement conveyed through eminently horological characteristics. From the simplest to the most complicated, these models pay tribute to craftsmanship and know-how passed on from generation to generation.
