Vacheron Constantin Harmony Tourbillon Chronograph
The Vacheron Constantin Harmony Tourbillon Chronograph represents the pinnacle of haute horlogerie, combining mechanical mastery with elegant design. Launched in the Harmony collection at this year’s SIHH, this watch features a distinctive pillow-shaped case and integrates a single-button chronograph with a tourbillon complication, creating a visually stunning and mechanically sophisticated timepiece.
Tourbillon & Chronograph Mechanism
At 12 o’clock sits the prominent Maltese Cross cage tourbillon, completing a full rotation every 60 seconds. This tourbillon is composed of 49 meticulously assembled components and is driven directly by the cross-gear mechanism, allowing for a visually fluid motion that mesmerizes onlookers. The central blue chronograph seconds hand, a 3 o’clock 45-minute sub-dial, and a 6 o’clock power reserve indicator ensure the watch remains as functional as it is striking.
Caliber 3200 Manual-Winding Movement
The watch is powered by the in-house Caliber 3200 manual-winding movement, incorporating a friction-based chronograph start mechanism. This system ensures an exceptionally smooth push-button operation without the typical vibrations, enhancing timing accuracy. The movement operates at 18,000 vibrations per hour and offers a 65-hour power reserve, combining reliability with fine finishing visible through the sapphire crystal case back.
Case, Materials & Design
The platinum case measures 42 × 52 mm with a thickness of 12.81 mm, paired with an elegant alligator leather strap and platinum folding clasp. The watch is limited to 26 pieces, emphasizing its exclusivity and desirability among collectors.
