Vacheron Constantin's Historiques Triple Calendriers and Historiques American 1921
Vacheron Constantin’s Historiques collection, comprised of modern-day understanding of notable 20th-century timepieces from its 260-plus-year history, adds 3 more to the steady this year, two motivated by Vacheron Constantin calendar watches from the 1940s, regarded by brand as the golden age for the complication — the Historiques Triple Timing 1942 and Historiques Triple Calendrier 1948 — and 1 feminine model originated from the heyday of Art Deco, the Historiques American 1921 Small Model.
Both Triple Calendar versions evoke their nineteen forties predecessors with their utilization of aesthetic elements common of that era, like the “triple gadroon” casebands on the round instances, “claw-type” lugs, and two-tone dials. The two are driven by manual-winding, in-house-made movements and have extremely thin bezels framing their box-type sapphire crystals above the dial. Like almost all watches produced by this kind of venerable, Genevan produce, all Vacheron Constantin Historiques models will be certified by the exclusive Hallmark of Geneva.
The Historiques Double Calendrier 1942, in a 40-mm-diameter stainless steel circumstance, takes its inspiration coming from a watch Vacheron manufactured in 1942, known as Research 4240. Echoing the dial layout of its ancestor, this timepiece has a hand-type time indicator with a peripheral date track, apertures for the month and day, and a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock. The baton hour and minute hands, as well as the subdial’s moments hand, are blued, while the calendar signs are printed in either burgundy or perhaps dark blue with respect to the version. The two-tone silvered dial includes a sunburst satin-finished middle with an exterior zone punctuated simply by black painted Persia numerals. Behind the transparent sapphire caseback is the manual-wound Good quality 4400 QC, composed of 225 components, incorporating 21 jewels, and holding a power reserve of 65 hours. The Historiques Three times the Calendrier 1942 exists on either a brownish (below) or dark blue (above) hand-stitched alligator leather tie with a half-Maltese-cross-shaped refined steel pin belt buckle. Both versions cost $19, 500.
Vacheron Constantin Ref. 4240L, released in 1948, may be the inspiration for the brand new Historiques Triple Minutage 1948. The “L” in the vintage watch’s name refers to the delicate, high-precision lunar routine displayed in that timepiece’s moon-phase display. The modern descendant includes a moon-phase screen with the small a few moments in a subdial in 6 o’clock. Located in a 4N rose gold colored case, its switch has a silvered opaline center and a sunburst satin-finished outside zone. Inside, and display through the sky-blue caseback, is Vacheron’s manufacture Caliber 4400 QCL, a thin, manual-wound movement with a twenty-eight, 800-vph frequency and a 65-hour reserve of power. Slim, gold flandrin hands sweep in the dial’s calendar signs which include, as in the 1942 model, a hand-type date indicator and month and day-of-the week shows in twin apertures below 12 o’clock. The 1942’s coated Arabic hour numbers are replaced right here by applied precious metal Roman numerals and triangular hour guns. Highlights, including the particular date track, the month and day text message, and the color of the starfield behind the moon, are in either dark green or burgundy. The previous version comes on a dark blue crocodile strap, the latter on the brown alligator straps; both are priced at 35 dollars, 000.
Inspired with a watch designed in the Roaring Twenties, the Vacheron Constantin Confirmees American 1921 Little Model is the 1st in the Historiques American series to be offered by the more ladylike size of 36. a few mm. Its cushion-shaped case, made of 5N rose gold, is a fashion back to the era of its historical forerunner, when such designs were at the elevation of popularity. The twenties timepiece that encouraged this modern view was created for a north american client with an enthusiasm for cars, therefore the diagonal point of the dial, that was meant to ensure that they could read the period while keeping his hands on the car’s steering wheel — as well as the necessary 45 degree counterclockwise tilt of the motion, which displaced the crown to an offbeat position between you and 2 o’clock, and the small a few seconds display to the off-centered position among 4 and your five o’clock. Under a gently domed sapphire crystal clear, the finely grained, silver toned face of the Small Unit features black decorated Arabic numerals within a period-appropriate style, and also a railroad minute monitor, and slender, open-tipped hands made of dark oxidized 18k platinum. The watch is run by another manual-winding caliber made in one facility, Caliber 4400, which can be just 2 . eight mm thick (for a total case width of just several. 25 mm) and stores a reserve of power of 65 time. Priced at $29, two hundred, the watch is shipped on a brown, hand-stitched, saddle-finished Mississippi alligator leather strap and in addition comes with a second crocodile strap in gleaming red.
