Once
again demonstrating the dual nature of its horological expertise -
in both visual design and technical innovation - Vacheron
Constantin has devised a new construction of the cushion shape that
has been part of its range for almost a century. A curved case
middle, a square bezel and a round watch glass meet and mingle in
an elegant reinterpretation of the monopusher chronograph with
pulsometric scale presented by the manufacturer in 1928. While the
inspiration derived from the original model is immediately
perceptible, each detail has been completely rethought, right the
way through to the specific ways in which light reflects off the
case. The result is a unique and unprecedented shape which offers
optimal comfort. In the same way, each element of the dial and
hands on the original watch face has been reinvented to guarantee
perfect readability.
The
Harmony collection is completely in keeping with its watchmaking
heritage while benefiting from cutting-edge technologies. Stemming
from seven years of research and development, the three new
monopusher chronographs presented in the Harmony collection are
driven by calibers entirely developed and produced by Vacheron
Constantin. A first version equipped with a split-second function
sets slimness records with its ultra-thin self-winding movement
measuring just 5.20 mm thick, while a second model stages a
fascinating tourbillon and the third variation is equipped - like
the original - with a pulsometric scale. Featuring elegant
horological complications that are some of the most highly sought
after and most complex to produce, the monopusher chronograph
models are complemented by a ladies' double-pusher chronograph. A
trio of dual-time watches housing a new in-house movement rounds
off this unique range of timepieces. Like the other recent
creations from Vacheron Constantin, these seven special editions
all bear the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva.
