Historiques Triple calendrier 1942 – Vacheron Constantin

Competing in the Men’s category for the Grand Prix Horloger de Genève, this Triple Calendar by Vacheron Constantin pays tribute to a historical classic of this also historical watch manufacturer. These new Historiques models features a complete calendar and a deliberately vintage look reinterpreting the creativity and the aesthetic of the iconic timepieces born in the 1940s.

The collection highlights its expertise in the field of “useful” complications and the associated characteristic design. This results in design codes reflecting those of the original models, but with a contemporary twist. Topped by a box-type glass of which the slightly thicker nature enables the use of an extremely slender bezel, the case which is water-resistant to 30 metres, reveals through the caseback the Fine Watchmaking finishing of the new complete calendar calibre – interpreted as reference 4400 QC.

 

 

With their calendar function, round case with triple gadroons, two-tone dial, “claw-type” lugs and mechanical manual-winding movement, the new Historiques Triple calendrier 1942 is reviving a typical Vacheron Constantin complication and style from this era. This flawless timepiece will sell for 20,700 CHF.
