Vacheron Constantin – Fiftysix® Tourbillon
Elegant and classy Vacheron Constantin, first in Fiftysix® collection to feature a major horological complication.
In January 2018, Vacheron Constantin unveiled its Fiftysix® collection in the form of three new models (Self-winding, Day-Date and Complete Calendar), representing the first notes of a new musical score. The cadence is now picking up with a new reference: Fiftysix® Tourbillon.
Its September 11th 2018 launch at London?s famous Abbey Road Studios is an opportunity for the Maison to announce an exclusive partnership with this legendary location in music history, where English song-artist Benjamin Clementine, one of the faces of the Maison?s new advertising campaign, is giving a private concert to mark this occasion.
Beautifully slender at less than 6 mm thick and equipped with a 22-carat gold peripheral rotor, the calibre of this model may be observed through a transparent caseback revealing all the beauty of the mechanism with its refined ornamentation. The tourbillon alone called for over a dozen hours of chamfering and other hand-crafted finishing operations. Like a metronome, its 2.5 Hz frequency provides a chance to follow its steady beat, framed by a 41 mm-diameter case. On the two-tone opaline-sunburst dial, decoration plays an equally exceptional tune.
The most prestigious composition in the collection to date, the Fiftysix® Tourbillon will be available exclusively from Vacheron Constantin boutiques as of April 2019.
