One look at the exquisite jewelry Vacheron Constantin Kallania watch and I can't help but notice its similarity with the Graff Superstar watch. However it was the Vacheron Constantin Kallania that ended up being the true star as it bagged the Best Jewelry Watch award at the Vogue Jewels Awards 2009 held in Madrid Spain. The Kallania which made its debut in January this year at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) exhibition is considered to be a successor of the brands diamond studded Kallista watch. The Kallania is an exquisite piece crafted entirely from 18-karat white gold and features 186 bead-set emerald cut diamonds across its bracelet, case, and dial. This glorious watch boasts of a hand-wound Vacheron Constantin 1003 caliber movement which measures just 1.64mm in height making it the world's thinnest mechanical movement. There is also a Geneva Seal stamped on the bridge which is an indication of the movement's high aesthetic standards.

Although the collection was unveiled in 1972, it still manages to rock the world of horology in today's day and age. This time Vacheron Constantin is returning its 1972 original model to the spotlight by unveiling a new model distinguished at the time by the "Dipl?me du Prestige de la France". This was the first time this honor is granted to a watch manufacturer. Crafted in 18-carat white or pink gold, and smaller case with dimensions better suited to delicate wrists, the new models in the 1972 collection vividly embody Vacheron Constantin's concern for refinement. It is fitted with new models consisting of two superimposed parts: the first serving as a "mirror" polished underplate and the second with 12 and 6 o'clock cut-outs revealing two Roman numerals. The new 1972 models play on swirling diamond patterns thanks to daring gem-set motifs shaped like a wave composed of 152 brilliant-cut diamonds (approx. 0.77 carat) that rolls over the case and splashes on to the dial.
