Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Openworked Tourbillon High Jewellery
· Artistic and watchmaking skills within the same one-of-a-kind model
· Technical prowess of the 2260 calibre with tourbillon and 14-day power reserve
· Skeletonised and engraved components, gemset case and dial
With this one-of-a-kind Les Cabinotiers – Openworked Tourbillon High Jewellery model, Vacheron Constantin has created an exceptional watch whose seductive power stems both from technical prowess and the artistic crafts deployed.
A true mechanical composition, the watch impresses First and foremost through the intricate arabesques of its 2260 calibre pared down to essentials by skilful skeletonization – a technique that highlights the tourbillon and its Maltese cross-shaped carriage that appears to be floating on air.
This manual-winding movement has a 14-day power reserve with an indicator at 12 o'clock, a technical feat achieved thanks to the presence of four barrels mounted in coupled pairs.
The expertise demonstrated by the engraver in decorating the components, as well as by the gemsetter in adorning the dial and case with 330 baguette-cut diamonds and 12 sapphires, transform this watch embodying the grand tradition of mechanical watchmaking into a veritable work of art.
