Vacheron Constantin

Entirely sculpted in 950 platinum - case, dial, buckles and strap stitching - this Collection Excellence Platine model comes in a 50-piece limited edition. This watch combines two Fine Watchmaking grand complications: the power of the single-push chronograph movement and the sophistication of the tourbillon. At 12 o’clock, the tourbillon cage, whose shape is inspired by the Maltese cross, is set in motion by an intermediary wheel on the seconds display, allowing for a larger opening on the mechanism. To add the finishing touch to the power reserve indicator shown at 6 o’clock and the 45-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a tachymeter scale adorns the edge of the dial, beautifully complementing the railroad-style minute counter.
