Vacheron Constantin enhances its Traditionnelle collection with a dazzling new creation—the Traditionnelle Tourbillon High Jewellery timepiece. This extraordinary watch combines horological ingenuity and artistic craftsmanship, showcasing the ultra-thin Calibre 2160 tourbillon movement and a mesmerizing display of over 300 baguette-cut diamonds. Every detail, from the case and bezel to the lugs and crown, is adorned with invisible-set diamonds, a hallmark of the brand’s exceptional expertise in gemsetting.
With over 265 years of heritage, Vacheron Constantin perfects the blend of technical mastery and timeless elegance. And it is evident in this timepiece. Each baguette-cut diamond is meticulously calibrated to form a seamless radiating pattern across the watch, with larger stones placed further from the tourbillon. This intricate design is achieved through the art of invisible setting, a technique that eliminates visible metal prongs, allowing the diamonds to radiate without interruption.
Crafting this masterpiece demanded unparalleled precision. The gemsetting extends to all parts of the timepiece, including the sloping inner bezel, the crown, and the caseband, which features vertically positioned gems. Even the Maltese cross adorning the crown is studded with diamonds, adding a distinctive touch. The result is a watch that sparkles with brilliance, with a total of over 27 carats of diamonds enhancing its opulent appeal.
At the heart of the Traditionnelle Tourbillon High Jewellery watch lies the ultra-thin Calibre 2160, Vacheron Constantin’s first self-winding tourbillon movement. This marvel of engineering measures just 5.65 mm thick and offers an impressive 80-hour power reserve. Visible through the sapphire caseback, the movement features a peripheral 18K gold oscillating weight, ensuring a slim profile while maintaining exceptional performance. The tourbillon’s openworked carriage, inspired by the Maison’s Maltese cross emblem, showcases the craftsmanship that defines Vacheron Constantin.
The finishing details, from hand-beveled bridges adorned with Côtes de Genève to the circular-grained mainplate, exemplify the Maison’s commitment to perfection. Paired with a dark grey alligator leather strap, the watch is a statement piece designed for connoisseurs who appreciate the rare harmony of innovation and artistry.
The Traditionnelle Tourbillon High Jewellery is a shining example of Vacheron Constantin’s enduring legacy.
