No need to check the dial to know what time it is, this superb creation simply presses it at any moment of the day to strike the melody of the passage of time.
The Romantic musical movement encouraged emotion over rationality. Partitions are great, moving. Vacheron Constantin seems to ride this trend by breathing, if into the reference Les Cabinotiers Minute Repeater Ultra-Thin – a romantic note. The eggshell-colored Grand Feu enamel dial, 41 mm in diameter and a rose gold case just 8.50 mm thick, takes center stage with elegantly tilted Arabic numerals for each hour. The minimalist composition is suspended by a couple of Breguet-style hour and minute hands. Only an understated slide cluster between 8 and 9 o’clock hints at the presence of a complication, in this case a minute repeater. By activating it, the watch wearer can sound the hours, minutes and quarters on request.
These notes are played by the 1731 caliber (65-hour power reserve). Conducted by a masterful ensemble, this manual-winding mechanical movement is made of 265 components and benefits from the unrivalled savoir-faire of the manufacturer. It harmoniously endows a subtle, pure sound, aesthetics, reliability and robustness, perfectly meeting all the requirements for the award of the Poinçon de Genève Seal. It is also distinguished by its completely silent flying strike regulator, which regulates the speed at which the hammer strikes the gong.
This timepiece is paired with a brown hand-stitched American alligator leather strap embellished with saddle work and large square scales.
