To celebrate its 100th anniversary, the emblematic watch with its “cambered square” silhouette is infused with new life thanks to the meticulous work of the watchmakers and craftsmen.
To model and then to reassemble the historic calibre, the 115 components were first disassembled and analyzed. Specific elements came from the archives, others were recreated using traditional tools, some of which dated back to the 18th century. Everything was done exactly as it had been done 100 years ago to breathe life into the 1921 manufacture Caliber.
This watch, different because of its case with its “cambered square” profile, as stated in notes preciously conserved in the manufacture’s archives, different because of its dial whose displays were offset to the left, was produced in just 24 pieces of which one only has been kept in Vacheron Constantin’s private collection.
More than a jubilee watch, it is the fruit of a fascinating odyssey into the heart of the artisanal know-how cultivated by Vacheron Constantin for over 265 years.
