Two complications that combine the beauty and functionality, tourbillon and chronograph, meet in the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Tourbillon Chronograph... Are you ready for this magnificent combination offered with a superiorly crafted case and a movement?
Vacheron Constantin's novelties, introduced as part of 2020 Watches & Wonders, are already among the most impressive models of the year. One of the products of the brand, which promotes many new watches from incredible complications to simple and elegant models, has a different effect than others.
Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Tourbillon Chronograph has an 18k rose gold case measuring 42.5mm x 11.7mm. Although we think that this model has a diameter value above what we are accustomed to from classic watches, we certainly do not say that it is exaggeratedly large. It is possible to watch the eye-catching dial and movement between the sapphire crystals on the front and back surfaces of the case. The waterproof value of the model has been determined as 30 meters.
The Traditionelle Tourbillon Chronograph features the 32.8mm x 6.7mm sized manual-winding Caliber 3200, entirely in-house produced. The movement, consisting of 292 parts, has 39 jewels, beats at 18000vph, and has a 65-hour power reserve. The 3Hz tourbillon balance and the 45-minute chronograph counter of the “Hallmark of Geneva” sealed caliber, which proves to be manufactured to superior standards, offer nostalgia. I have to add that the chronograph with the mono-pusher feature has a very positive effect on the case's proportions. Note that the remaining power reserve indicator on the dial is also a highly functional detail.
Apart from all these, the tachymetric bezel that surrounds the dial, brown crocodile strap crafted with flawless workmanship, and a folding clasp made of 18-carat pink gold will never wear out, a design that will retain its grandeur for the first day, even after many years. The MSRP is 197.000 USD. Yes, it may seem expensive at first glance, but a tourbillon balanced mono-pusher chronograph with Vacheron Constantin on its dial seems unlikely to be cheaper to these quality standards. In short, the cost of prestige and high watchmaking can take a few zeros from your bank account, but the immortal work of art you have in exchange will turn into an object of desire to be transferred to the next generation.
