Vacheron Constantin Cabin Otto Tourbillon Amiel

Always striving for excellence, the watchmaker combines two original Haute Horlogerie complications in a powerful, monochrome contemporary architecture.

In 2015, Vacheron Constantin launched the most complicated watch ever made. No fewer than 57 complications are integrated into its movement. Two of them are in the Les Cabinotiers Tourbillon Armillaire watch launched at the end of 2019. They are everywhere, and on a dial divided into two different spaces, they contribute to the aesthetics of this reference. On the right dial, the hour and minute hands are arranged in an arc. As soon as they reach 60 minutes and 12 hours, they immediately return to the first unit. Faced with a retrograde display of temporal data, the mechanical complex is in perpetual motion. This structure, located under a bubble formed by a sapphire crystal, consists of two cages nested in each other. They move at a speed of 60 seconds per revolution on two different axes. This armillary sphere tourbillon is named after the French watchmaker Antide Janvier, who in the 18th century made an astronomical clock with a globe composed of an armature, a metal circle that simulates the celestial sphere.

The 1990 movement skillfully guides this feat of fine watchmaking. The manual-winding movement is housed in a titanium case with a diameter of 45 mm. Once wound, it provides the watch with an autonomy of 65 hours.

This timepiece bears the Geneva Seal and is presented on an alligator leather strap secured with a pin buckle.
