Watches & Wonders 2020: Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Tourbillon for Ladies

Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Tourbillon Ladies ref. 6035

For the first time, Vacheron Constantin highlights the majestic tourbillon complication through the prism of feminine elegance. This is the very first Vacheron Constantin Tourbillon for ladies. Housed within a new 39 mm case, mechanical sophistication appears attired in unprecedented finery. Available in 18K 5N pink gold set with brilliant-cut diamonds with a mother-of-pearl dial or in 18K white gold set with brilliant and baguette-cut diamonds on both case and dial, the Traditionnelle Tourbillon ref. 6025T and 6035T watch beats to the rhythm of the in-house calibre 2160, a guarantee of reliability, precision, and finesse accentuated by hand-crafted fine watchmaking finishes.

The in-house automatic calibre 2160 unveiled in 2018 finds its place for the first time at the heart of a watch dedicated to women. Operating at a low 2.5 Hertz frequency enabling one to admire the steady beating of the mechanism. The calibre 2160 is also impressively slender. Equipped with a peripheral rotor, this 188-part movement is only 5.65 mm thick. A silhouette pared down to essentials results in a case measuring 39 mm in diameter and 11.22 mm thick, whose harmonious proportions are perfectly suited to the feminine wrist.

In addition to its reliability and precision, the calibre 2160 calibre is characterized by a comfortable 80-hour power reserve and the presence of a small seconds display on the tourbillon by means of a blackened screw —a function highlighted by meticulous attention to each and every aesthetic detail. On the front, the bar of the openworked tourbillon carriage inspired by the shape of the Maltese cross, is entirely hand-beveled, an operation lasting almost 11 hours for this component alone. Visible through the transparent case back, the movement is adorned with Côtes de Genève finishing. These traditional decorations contrast with the refined aesthetics of the peripheral rotor in sandblasted 22K gold.

A round stepped case, a discreet bezel, a fluted case-back, a rail-track minute-circle, slender dauphine-shaped hands, and baton-type hour-markers: the pure and elegant Traditionnelle collection showcases technical refinement conveyed through eminently horological characteristics. Technical refinement meets aesthetic elegance in this model imbued with exquisite femininity. It is the epitome of glowing radiance, balanced proportions, and subtle details. Its classic 39 mm case crafted from 18K 5N pink gold sparkles with 208 brilliant-cut diamonds set on the bezel, caseband, and lugs for reference 6035T/000R-B634.

Its captivating mother-of-pearl dial provides an iridescent backdrop for the majestic spectacle of the tourbillon, surrounded by a diadem of 46 brilliant-cut diamonds. Precious finery indeed for this Traditionnelle tourbillon that is an integral part of the collection’s aesthetic heritage. The extremely slim case features stepped flanks and a fluted case back. The dial is punctuated by a rail-track minute-circle with dauphine-shaped hands and pink gold baton-type hour- markers. A pleasing composition that seductively wraps itself around the wrist on a grey satin strap secured by a diamond-set folding clasp. A second grey strap in alligator leather is delivered with the timepiece.
