Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Grande Complicated Chronograph – Tempo watch is the most complicated watch in the brand’s history. It is equipped with a new movement with 24 complex functions, and the case can be flipped vertically up and down through a detachable strap structure. The watch was developed by the team that developed Vacheron Constantin’s most complex timepiece 57260 (57 complex functions). The Tempo watch has a diameter of 50mm and a thickness of 21mm, which is the size of a small pocket watch.

When it comes to the reversible double-sided large complex watch, it is not difficult to think of Patek Philippe’s 6300 master string sound, a three-hammer and three-spring timekeeping device, with 20 complex functions such as large and small self-sounding, minute repeater, alarm, two-time, etc., with 1,366 parts, vibration frequency 25,200vph, and a movable device that can be flipped left and right on the lugs.
Vacheron Constantin’s Tempo watch combines 24 complex functions such as minute repeater, split-second chronograph, and perpetual calendar. It has 1,163 parts, a vibration frequency of 18,800vph, and can be flipped on both sides. However, the way to flip is to equip it with a detachable strap and flip it up and down, so you can notice that the direction of the minute repeater slider on the left side of the watch will be different.
Front of the watch:
The upper half of the front is time and timing information. The outer ring of the left dial shows hours and the inner ring is the 24-hour time in the second time zone; the outer ring of the right dial is minutes and the inner ring is a 30-minute chronograph integral dial.
The lower half of the front is perpetual calendar information. The left dial is the date and week, and the right dial is the leap year and month.
Back of the watch:
The tourbillon device and power reserve display of the Maltese cross frame at 12 o’clock on the back.
The fan-shaped scales at 3 and 9 o’clock on the back are the sunrise and sunset times and the length of day and night, and the sun graphic pointer indicates the true solar time.
The moon phase and moon age display at 6 o’clock on the back.
Being part of the La Musique du Temps® themed collection, the watch is recorded with original sound recordings from Abbey Road Studios in London and comes with an exclusive certificate of authenticity.
