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.

The Swiss watch manufacture Vacheron Constantin is about to release its new horological masterpiece - the Quai de l'Ile Retrograde Annual Calendar watch.Launched in 2008, the original Quai de I'Ile timepiece was enthusiastically received by the discerning audience. Then, the public could enjoy the Day-Date Self Winding and Day-Date with Power Reserve versions of this model. Now, the line is joined by a stunning timepiece equipped with a Retrograde Annual Calendar complication.The aforementioned retrograde date indicator is found on an extremely legible dial, which can be dressed in different colors. The calendar, which requires correction once a year, is located on a segment, extending from 2 to 5 o'clock. The display of the new Vacheron Constantin watch is visually balanced by a moon-phase indicator, which needs to be manually corrected just once per 122 years.Positioned at 9 o'clock and artfully combined with a small seconds hand, this counter overlaps with a month sub-dial. The latter is slightly shifted away from its traditional 6 o'clock position, which lends the timepiece its exceptional character.Pointing to the hours and minutes are appealing central hands, crafted from gold. They circulate over Arabic numerals, which alternate with stick-shaped hour-markers. Completing the impeccable appearance of the display is the brand's logo, residing beneath the 12 o'clock hour-marker.The dial of the new Quai de l'Ile Retrograde Annual Calendar watch is gently hugged by a cushion-shaped case, which measures 43 mm in diameter. It is sculptured either in white gold, rose gold or a marvelous combination of these two materials. The case is offset by an elegant bezel, rendered in white or rose gold. The winding crown, nestled at 3 o'clock, captures attention with its refinement. The company's craftsmen have also equipped the timepiece with high-grade top and bottom sapphire crystals. The absolute precision of the model is guaranteed by a manufactory-made self-winding caliber 2460 QRA movement. Composed of 326 individual parts, the mechanism operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a 40-hour power reserve.A consummate combination of technical performance and ultimate elegance of design, the new Vacheron Constantin watch is delivered on a black or brown alligator leather strap. Alternatively, it can be mounted on a black or brown rubber strap, closed with a folding clasp in white or rose gold.
