A significant Vacheron Constantin Complicated Timepiece to be unveiled in September 2015

Vacheron Constantin has announced, for his 260th Anniversary, what seems to look like an amazing and very complicated watch.

This is in fact a special order made to the Ateliers Cabinotiers (created in 2006) which is the department dealing with very extraordinary demands from clients.

You certainly remember the Vacheron Constantin "Vladimir" complicated wristwatch unveiled several years ago:

Or the Vacheron Constantin "Philosophia":

Well, this is another very intersting project.

Here is what Vacheron says on its website about it.

Very exciting!

Cheers, Mark

EIGHT YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT

WERE REQUIRED TO CREATE THIS POCKET WATCH

Entirely developed and crafted by three in-house watchmakers entirely dedicated to this project for eight years, backed by the Atelier Cabinotiers special orders team, this Grande Complication watch sets the seal on 260 years of expertise nurtured by a perpetual quest for excellence.

Developed both on classic watchmaking principles and on innovative 21st century technologies, this most complicated watch in the world embodies an incredible combination of time measurement complications and functions meeting the demanding Hallmark of Geneva criteria.

It reveals certain original complications that had to be calculated and developed ex nihilo. The other horological complications all benefited from improvements as well as technical or aesthetic modifications leading to the filing of numerous patents.

Creating the world’s most complicated watch called not only for constant perseverance, but also for unprecedented mastery of mathematics and craftsmanship.

More information on the broad array of complications – including a number of firsts – appearing in this exceptional watch, will be progressively revealed over the coming months.

On September 17th 2015, the 260th day of the year and the day of Vacheron Constantin’s 260th anniversary, the Manufacture will fully raise the curtain on this model that is truly unique in the world.
