Les Cabinotiers Dual Moon - A Grand Complication
Complete with 11 new complications in their new in-house movement, Vacheron Constantin's Les Cabinotiers Dual Moon watch comes in an 18k white gold 46mm case with a sand-blasted silver dial topped with 18k gold hands and applied markers.
Sitting on a dark blue Mississippiensis alligator leather, hand-stitched, saddle-finish strap, the novelty is a single-piece edition.
The double-sided musical timepiece features a depiction of the moons in the two hemispheres on a disc coaxial shaped like a starry dome on the front dial. The deep blue colour offers a sharp contrast with the silver of the dial. The front dial also features a titanium dome graced with rhodium-plated moons on a blue sky background. The dial is complete with the hours and minutes display and the lunar cycles positioned slightly off-center upward to integrate the calendar indications. The rotating discs are used for the perpetual calendar indications and are positioned on the upper rim of the dial as a semi-circular window with a retrograde hand.
The four-part dial is finished with a sapphire dome placed on the silver-tone metal baseplate with a sandblasted finish and open-worked calendar apertures.
The back of the dial features a display of sidereal time and constellations against a celestial backdrop. The mobile disc gives the exact position of the constellations. It also features the one-minute rotating tourbillon regulator distinguished by its carriage shaped like the watchmaker's Maltese cross emblem.
Vacheron Constantin's Les Cabinotiers Dual Moon is equipped with the in-house Calibre 2755 movement complemented by a minute repeater chiming the hours, quarters, and minutes on demand. It powers a reserve of 58 hours.
Overseas Moonphase Retrograde Date
Vacheron Constantin's Overseas collection welcomes its first Retrograde display with the new Overseas Moonphase Retrograde Date. Keeping with the collection's iconic attributes, the new model comes with a six-sided bezel, a fluted crown, a polished and satin-brushed translucent lacquered dial, luminescent hour markers and hands, and a moonphase display with a retrograde date.
The sporty chic 41mm timepiece is equipped with the in-house Calibre 2460 R31L/2 offering a 40-hour power reserve. The moonphase is displayed through an aperture at 6 o'clock while the retrograde date is indicated by the central hand on the upper part of the dial. All adjustments like winding, correcting the date and moonphase, and setting the time, can be done via the crown on the right.
The dial is blue lacquer with a sunburst satin-brushed base and a velvet-finished flange. It sits on a steel strap and is also available in a blue calfskin leather strap with grey stitches as well as a blue rubber strap.
Overseas Self-Winding
The Overseas also welcomes four new models in new sizes. Available in pink, gold and steel, the novelties measure 35 mm for the two gem-set versions and 34.5mm for the two non-set models.
The 18k 5N pink gold versions feature the iconic blue dial while the steel watch set with 90 diamonds comes in a delicate shade of pink. All four models indicate the hours and minutes as well as a central seconds, a date display at 3 o'clock, and a minutes track running around the rim of the dial.
Equipped with the Calibre 1088/1, the Overseas self-winding models offer a 40-hour power reserve. They come fitted with an integrated metal bracelet in 18K 5N gold or steel, depending on the model, as well as two additional interchangeable leather and rubber straps.
Patrimony Retrodrade Day-Date
A minimalist design inspired by the retrograde displays of the 1920s and '30s, the new Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date comes in a 42.5mm 950-platinum case with a salmon-coloured dial.
The dial features a faceted Maltese cross under the 12 o'clock marker in 18k 5N pink gold and two retrograde indications - one each for the date and day - with blue steel hands. The hours and minutes are displayed by 18k white gold hands. The rim of the dial also features a circular-grained peripheral minutes track.
Equipped with the in-house self-winding calibre 2460 R31R7/3, the Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date houses a 40-hour power reserve.
Traditionelle Tourbillon Retrograde Date Openface
Tradition meets modern elegance in the new Traditionelle Tourbillon Retrograde Date Openface timepiece.
Housed in an 18k pink gold case, the 41mm features a steep round case and lugs, a fluted caseback, a slim bezel, a railway minute track, bi-facetted Dauphine hands, and hold baton-type hour markers. The open-worked sapphire dial reveals the in-house Calibre 2162 R31 which highlights the retrograde mechanism plate on a slate great surface. The complication is complemented by a tourbillon with a hand-bevelled carriage and a hand-polished cone-shaped transversal bar.
The Traditionelle Tourbillon Retrograde Date Openface comes with a grey Mississippiensis alligator leather strap with an alligator leather inner shell.
