Vacheron Constantin unveils its new Patrimony Traditionnelle World Time watch. The timepiece is animated by the new Calibre 2460WT crowned by the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva. The new mechanical self-winding movement, elaborated and manufactured by the Manufacture, allows the watch to indicate the 37 time-zones of the world, among which there are the time-zones offset from Universal Coordinated Time (UCT) by a half - or quarter-hour. The exclusive mechanism was patented by the brand. The Vacheron Constantin specialists wanted to develop a mechanical movement that would allow the timepiece feature the time not only in the full time zones, but also the partial ones, keeping the watch's owner aware of the exact temporal reality in the 37 time zones. It should be mentioned that there are countries that adopted a half-hour or quarter-hour difference from UTC. The new Vacheron Constantin movement takes account of this difference. The display of the Patrimony Traditionnelle World Time watch includes three dials: a sapphire dial with an original day/night shading, a metal dial with a "Lambert projector" type map, a metal chapter ring. The mechanical self-winding 27-jewel movement, operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, provides a 40-hour power reserve.

Then, he can read off the time in the reference location either by the hour hand, or by the 24-hour disc. He can also read off the time in other 36 time zones.
