vacheron constantin g488

Marc Guten, Vacheron Constantin's International Director, and Nicolas Deflers, Director of Vacheron Constantin Russia, presented a Malte Quanti��me Perp��tuel R��trogradant timepiece, created exclusively for Vacheron Constantin's Moscow boutique, to a group of Russian collectors. Manufactured in a very limited series of only five pieces in 18K 5N pink gold, this model has two exclusive features.1.?An officer back which has been engraved on the outside with the Russian coat-of-arms, with its two-headed eagle. When the back is lifted, the very compact �C 11 1/2 lignes for a thickness of 5.05 mm �C1126QPR automatic mechanical movement can be admired through a sapphire crystal.2.?A black dial whose su***ce, thanks to the texture of the finishing, absorbs rather than reflects the light and greatly improves legibility of the time. This is indicated by two facetted fan-shaped hands and 18K 5N pink gold applied hour-markers and Roman numerals.?This Perpetual Calendar timepiece also features a retrograde date. At the end of the last day of each month, its hand jumps back instantaneously to the first day of the following month and starts all over again. Well- proportioned with its 39 mm case, its fan-shaped horns and its crown stamped with a stylised version of the Maltese Cross, this timepiece only needs to be set once a century! So it won't need setting again until 2100!

The SIHH 2011 seems to be making headlines already! A stunning chronograph with a new caliber has come off the Vacheron's stable. Called as the Constantin Quai de l'Ile, the watch is an upgraded version of the Quai de l'Ile, will feature a retrograde annual calendar. The Caliber 2460 QRA is encased in a 43mm pink and/or white gold case. Equipped with a moon-phase indication, the calendar needs correction only once every 122 years.
