Vacheron Constantin
Traditionnelle Tourbillon Chronograph
5100T/000R-B623Traditionnelle CollectionThis 18K 5N pink gold watch combines two Fine Watchmaking grand complications: the power of the single-push chronograph movement and the sophistication of the tourbillon. At 12 o’clock, the tourbillon cage, whose shape is inspired by the Maltese cross, is set in motion by an intermediary wheel on the seconds display, allowing for a larger opening on the mechanism. To add the finishing touch to the power reserve indicator shown at 6 o’clock and the 45-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a tachymeter scale adorns the edge of the dial, beautifully complementing the railroad-style minute counter.
Detailed features & specifications
Vacheron Constantin unites two horological complications within the Traditionnelle collection. Considered an emblem of Haute Horlogerie, the tourbillon now takes on a stronger personality and more dynamic aura, combined with a monopusher chronograph function.
A modern expression of Geneva’s grand watchmaking tradition, the new Traditionnelle tourbillon chronograph combines the precision of a monopusher chronograph with the sophistication of the tourbillon, a complication single-handedly symbolising the nobility of Haute Horlogerie. Through its ties with centuries of watchmaking culture and its dynamic character, this timepiece pays tribute to mechanical complexity while respecting the Maison’s distinctive aesthetic codes and inherent elegance. “Etagé” case and lugs, a fluted case-back, a railway-type minute track, dauphine-type hours and minutes hands: the aesthetic codes of the Traditionnelle collection are all clearly present and the model Traditionnelle tourbillon chronograph showcases technical refinement conveyed through eminently horological characteristics.
