Vacheron Constantin, the favorite luxury watchmaker of many, has added two new pieces to its "Historiques" collection. Carrying forward the "ultra-thin" lineage the two new timepieces imbibe one of two legendary calibers with a new and distinctively modern touch. The two new creations, Historique Ultra-fine 1955 and the Historique Ultra-fine 1968 are sure to mesmerize every watch collector and connoisseur. The Historique Ultra-fine 1955 timepiece is equipped with and pays tribute to the legendary mechanical hand-wound 1003 movement whose 9-lignes or 21.05 mm diameter and 1.64 mm thickness have made it the world's smallest mechanical movement in the market. This exquisite timepiece is touted to be the thinnest watch in the world at just 1.64 mm thick. The model in 18kt gold bears the Hallmark of Geneva.
