It may be impossible for constellations to burst upon one’s wrists, but if it were, the result would likely resemble the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Tourbillon High Jewelry Watch. This latest marvel, brimming with dazzling gems, adds an unprecedented brilliance to the Traditionnelle collection. Among its many highlights, the invisible gem-setting technique steals the spotlight.
This masterpiece showcases over 300 baguette-cut diamonds (totaling 27.11 carats) meticulously arranged to create a radiating effect, achieved using the early 20th-century invisible setting technique. If this doesn’t evoke a galaxy of stars dancing on your wrist, what could? While undeniably glamorous, the 41 mm 18K white gold watch is also a technical triumph.
Powered by the ultra-thin Caliber 2160, Vacheron Constantin’s first self-winding tourbillon movement, the watch houses 188 components yet maintains a slender 5.65 mm-thick caliber. This ensures the watch retains a slim 12.46 mm profile. With an impressive 80-hour power reserve, the movement operates at 18,000 vibrations per hour, ensuring the tourbillon performs seamlessly.
At the heart of this masterpiece is the Clous de Paris guilloché pattern, complemented by an 18K gold oscillating weight. A refined dark gray alligator leather strap completes the watch, subtly enhancing its brilliance without detracting from the dazzling dial. The strap’s 18K white gold folding clasp is adorned with 16 baguette-cut diamonds, adding a final touch of elegance.
The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Tourbillon High Jewelry Watch is available exclusively at Vacheron Constantin boutiques. As expected for such an extraordinary creation, the price is available upon request.
