New Vacheron Constantin Harmony Watches to Debut at WatchTime New York 2016
Vacheron Constantin introduced its Harmony collection — a new series with distinctive, cushion-shaped cases —during the brand’s 260th anniversary year of 2015. This year, the collection expands with 10 all-new references, all of which make their U.S. debut next week at WatchTime New York (tickets and info here). Here’s a preview of the highlight pieces. The 10 new references in the Vacheron Constantin Harmony collection — whose case design and graphic elements were inspired by one of the brand’s first wrist-worn chronographs from 1928 — include a monopusher chronograph with tourbillon, a monopusher chronograph with a pulsimeter scale, a double-pusher chronograph, a dual-time display watch, and a complete calendar, as well as “Small Model” versions of the chronograph and dual-time. While the watches retain the signature look of the Harmony collection — with curved casebands, square bezels, and round crystals — the new models are distinguished from those in the first wave, all of which were limited editions, by their anthracite-colored numerals (instead of the originals’ blue ones); opaline silvered dials (rather than opaline white); a new, more contemporary numeral font for the subdial counters; a reworked burgundy highlight color; and the addition of railway track minute circles. Like the first Harmony models — and all watches made by Vacheron Constantin — the new ones have all met the stringent standards of precision, durability, and watchmaking mastery required to earn the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva. www.gina-shop.com A new complication joins the Harmony collection with the debut of the Harmony Complete Calendar (below), which has a rose-gold case and a dark brown, hand-stitched alligator strap. The date is indicated by a central hand culminating in a burgundy crescent, which points to a 1-through-31 scale around the rim of the dial. The day and month, also in burgundy, appear side-by-side in apertures in the upper half of the dial, while the moon-phase display and age of the moon dominate the lower half. Unlike most conventional moon-phase indicators, which require correction every three years, this one will require adjustment only once every 122 years. Vacheron developed an all-new self-winding movement, Caliber 2460 QC, to power this watch’s array of functions. Composed of 308 components, and with its high-end finishing visible through a sapphire caseback, it beats at a frequency of 4 Hz and offers a power reserve of 40 hours. The Harmony Tourbillon Chronograph (below) combines a monopusher chronograph with a large tourbillon shaped like Vacheron’s famous Maltese cross emblem. The movement is the manual-winding Caliber 3200, whose meticulous details include another Maltese cross motif adorning the screw that holds the chronograph’s column wheel. Seven years in the R&D stage, this entirely in-house-produced movement was unveiled to mark the brand’s 260th anniversary and incorporates a number of technologically advanced features to heighten precision and reliability and enhance user friendliness — like the “dragging-display” 45-minute chronograph counter, which replaces a more conventional 30-minute counter, and the lower 2.5 Hz balance frequency, which allows for a better view of the tourbillon’s rotations. Sporting a 42 mm x 42 mm rose gold case, the Tourbillon Chronograph will be available exclusively at Vacheron Constantin boutiques.
